The Winter Solstice on the seventh day
of November in the Chinese lunar calendar is the most important solar term in
the twenty-four solar terms of the Chinese tradition.

that "the Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year, it is the time
for family reunion".
As the saying goes: "if you don't
serve dumpling bowls in the winter solstice锛 no
one will care if you freeze youe ears"

members, so that everyone can feel the warmth of the family in the cold winter
The winter

things will come on schedule during the winter solstice.
