In today's ten solar terms, the beginning of the winter means the beginning of the cold winter, and people have always said that eating dumplings in the beginning of the winter does not freeze the ears, so why eat dumplings in the beginning of the winter? What is the origin of eating dumplings in the beginning of the winter?
1. The dumpling bowl is not served in the beginning of winter. No one cares if the ears are frozen
I believe many friends have heard the old saying, and some may be confused about it. Take a close look at the dumplings that are warped and rolled on both sides. Do they look like some organ on the body? Yes, they are ears. The original name of dumpling is said to be "jiao'er", which was first invented by Chinese doctors. His story of "Quhan Jiaoer Decoction" is still popular among the people in China.
2. Eating dumplings in winter
"Handover" means alternation, handover and exchange. When do you usually eat this dumpling? It's the beginning of winter and the new year's Eve. It's the time when the new and old things are handed over. New year's Eve is the transition of the old year and the new year, while Lidong is the transition of autumn and winter. Therefore, dumplings at the time of 'turning in' are not edible.
3. Eating dumplings without freezing ears
The custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice has been handed down. First, it's to commemorate this great famous doctor. Isn't there an old saying, it's called "what to eat to make up for what". Beginning of winter means the arrival of winter. When it's cold in winter, the ears are easily frostbitten when exposed outside. Therefore, eating dumplings that look like ears and mending ears is the most intimate care for relatives.
