Winter Solstice (冬至),an important solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar,as the name implies,means the coming of winter.It generally occurs between December 21st and 23rd.According to the traditional Chinese calendar,one year is divided into twenty-four solar terms.On this day,in the Northern Hemisphere the period of daytime is the shortest of the year and the period of night is the longest.
In Northern China there is a custom of eating dumplings during the winter solstice.The tradition of eating dumplings during the winter solstice has its origin in early times.It is said that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing,a well-known doctor from the Eastern-Han Dynasty.
One winter,he noticed that many people’s ears were frozen,which made him sad.In order to prevent and cure the freezing injury caused by the cold,he asked his followers to boil mutton,chilies and other ingredients with medicinal properties in a pot for fending off cold.After these were boiled,they ladled (舀取) the mutton and other ingredients out of the pot,cut them into pieces,and then wrapped them with dough skins in the shape of ears.Afterward,they put these into pots to boil again.
On the day of the winter solstice,the people whose ears were frozen were sent to eat the dumplings.People who ate it felt warm from head to toe and had their cold injury healed.Thereafter,every winter solstice people ate dumplings.Then there became a saying that if you eat dumplings during the winter solstice,then you won’t freeze your ears off.
