Northern Lidong eats dumplings

"Lidong doesn't serve dumpling bowls. No one cares if his ears are frozen!" The beginning of winter solar term has the meaning of autumn harvest and winter storage. China used to be an agricultural society. People who worked for a year should take advantage of the beginning of winter to have a rest and reward their family for their hard work over the past year. There is a proverb 'beginning of winter to make up for winter, make up for empty mouth' is the best metaphor.

In northern China, especially in Beijing and Tianjin, people like to eat dumplings. Why does Lidong eat dumplings? Because dumplings come from the saying of "when making children". New year's Eve is the turn of the old year and the new year, and the beginning of winter is the turn of autumn and winter. Therefore, dumplings can't be eaten at the time of 'making' dumplings. Now people have gradually restored this ancient custom. On the day of the beginning of winter, all kinds of dumplings sell very well.

There is a custom of eating Japanese melon dumplings at the beginning of winter in the 'old Tianjin Wei' settlement in Hedong and Shuixi, China. Japanese melon, also known as Wogua, papaya, rice melon and North melon, is a common vegetable in the north. Generally, Japanese melons are bought in summer and stored in the cabin or windowsill. After a long time of saccharification, they are made into dumplings on the winter solstice. The taste is not only different from that of Chinese cabbage, but also different from that of Japanese melons in summer. They also need vinegar and garlic.
