What food do you eat during the winter solstice solar term?

1, wonton: There is a saying in old Beijing that "winter solstice wonton noodles, summer solstice". "Yanjing Years Old" says: "The shape of husband's wonton is like a chicken egg, which is quite similar to the chaos of heaven and earth, so it is eaten from winter to the sun." In addition to similar shapes, "wonton" is also homophonic with "chaos". Eating wonton in winter is beneficial to the storage of heat energy in cold season.

2. jiaozi: Every winter solstice of the Lunar New Year, jiaozi is an indispensable holiday feast for the rich and the poor, and it is very popular in supermarkets, shopping malls and other jiaozi. As the saying goes: "On October 1st, when the solstice of winter comes, every family eats jiaozi." It is said that this custom was left in memory of Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage", who gave up medicine during the winter solstice.

3. Ginger Duck: Xiamen people have a soft spot for ducks. They eat ducks all year round, such as salted duck, salted duck, roast duck, stewed duck with four dishes, and ginger duck from winter to day. As long as there is a stall selling ginger and ducks in a street, the whole street is fragrant. Ginger duck is made from muscovy duck with red face. After frying duck with sesame oil, add ginger (ginger) and rice wine to stew. It has the functions of soothing liver and moistening lung, nourishing stomach and strengthening spleen, relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold and resolving phlegm, and is especially nourishing. Ginger ducks are seldom cooked at home, so when the solstice of winter arrives, many people begin to queue up to buy ginger ducks.

Rice cakes: From the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China until now, people in Hangzhou like to eat rice cakes on the solstice in winter. On the solstice of winter, we will make three kinds of rice cakes with different flavors. In the morning, we eat rice cakes mixed with sesame powder and sugar. At noon, we eat fried rice cakes with pickles, winter bamboo shoots and shredded pork. For dinner, we have mustard rice cake, shredded pork and shredded bamboo shoots soup. Eating rice cakes on the solstice of winter is good luck to get old.

5. Barbecue: On the solstice of winter, most Lingnan people have the custom of "adding vegetables" to eat meat on the solstice of winter. After offering sacrifices to ancestors, the whole family prepared a table of big fish and meat, bacon, sausages and so on. I ate a meal with a smile and prayed for good luck in the coming year. Among them, barbecue is an indispensable traditional food for Cantonese people in the winter solstice table.

6. Ciba: In Yunnan, there is a custom of eating Ciba from winter to Sunday. And whenever ancestor worship or major festivals, or weddings and funerals, we should make Ciba. So in our hometown, Ciba is called "Big Ciba", and now jiaozi is called "Little Ciba" with a little disdain. On this day, the whole family gathered around the brazier and baked Ciba with a smile. When friends and relatives visit, the best gift is to bake a Zanba.
