On the winter solstice day, what kind of food do the Chinese south and north eat?

What kind of food will the Chinese eat at the winter solstice?


China is very large, so it is also the "winter solstice", but the customs of eating are completely different.


"Don't eat dumplings in the winter solstice, and freeze your ears back!" Listening to this, you know that it must be said by the northerners. For most northern China, dumplings are not just a delicacy, but they give more emotions. On many special days in the four seasons of the year, dumplings are used as an important staple of the day.


There are also many folk sayings about dumplings: "Dumplings at the first of the three periods of the hot season, noodles at the second of the three periods of the hot season ", "Dumplings at the winter solstice, noodles at the summer solstice", "Dumplings going out, noodles coming home" and so on. Dumplings are shaped like ingots, which are rich in wealth, and with various fillings and various flavors, they are very popular among northerners.


On the winter solstice day, what kind of food do the Chinese south and north eat

On the winter solstice day, in southern China, especially in the Guangdong and Fujian regions, everyone also eats a stuffed food "glutinous rice balls". Rice dumpling is a round food made from glutinous rice flour. The usual fillings include black sesame and peanut butter. Because of its round shape, glutinous rice balls are bestowed "reunion" by people.

And because of the taste, color and value of its fillings, it symbolizes wealth. Therefore, the southerners use glutinous rice balls to mean reunion and auspiciousness.
