Why do you eat dumplings on the winter solstice?

In memory of the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing was a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. One winter, he found that the poor people were suffering from hunger and cold because they could not afford to wear warm clothes, and both ears were covered with frostbite. In order to help the common people survive the cold winter, Zhang Zhongjing invented a food - cold Jiao'er soup, which is the predecessor of today's dumplings.

He mixed mutton and medicinal herbs together, wrapped them in dough and cooked them, and distributed them to the common people on the day of the winter solstice.

After the people ate it, the chilblains were quickly cured. Later, in order to commemorate Dr. Zhang Zhongjing's good deeds, people ate dumplings on the day of the winter solstice. Over time, the custom of eating dumplings has been handed down on the winter solstice.

The winter solstice originated in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Duke of Zhou set the longest day of the year as the first day of the new year, so from Zhou to Qin, the winter solstice was regarded as a new year.

Convenient, fast, quick-frozen, warm to eat, easy to preserve.

1. Because eating dumplings on the winter solstice is a custom in the north. In many areas of northern China, on the winter solstice every year, there is a custom of eating dumplings. Legend has it that when the doctor Zhang Zhongjing returned to his hometown, he saw the people who were suffering from the cold, so he used mutton and some cold-warding herbs and dough to wrap them in the shape of ears, and made a medicine called "cold-repelling and ear-correcting soup", and gave alms to the people to eat.

Later, every winter solstice, people imitated making and eating, forming a custom.

2. On the day of the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere receives the least solar radiation, about 50% less than the southern hemisphere. However, this day is not the coldest time, because there is an atmosphere and moisture on the surface of the earth, which can store heat, and it is not "stored and lost", but "accumulated heat". China has a vast territory, and the climate and landscape vary greatly.

3. The average temperature in most parts of northern China is generally below 0, while the average temperature in most parts of the south is only about 6 to 8. The land of the Northeast is frozen for thousands of miles, and it is pretended to be jade; The Huanghuai region is often covered in silver; Winter crops continue to grow in the south of the Yangtze River; The average temperature along the coast of South China is above 10.

Eating dumplings on the winter solstice is a custom, and it is not forgetting the grace of the "medical saint" Zhang Zhongjing's "dispelling cold and delicate ear soup"!

Trouble, thanks!
