Winter Solstice Gnocchi

The traditional custom of eating glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice is very popular in the southern regions, and glutinous rice balls are an essential delicacy during the winter solstice festival. Glutinous rice balls are round "small balls" made by kneading glutinous rice flour and water. In order to taste good, black sesame seeds and other auxiliary materials are usually added to the inside. "Yuan" means consummation and reunion, symbolizing family reunion.

"The winter solstice is like a new year"

The winter solstice must have a taste of the New Year

Qianhai Guoxin carefully prepared warmth for the family

Let the cold winter no longer be cold

Every family pounds rice to make glutinous rice balls, knowing it is the winter solstice of the Ming Dynasty

Winter Solstice Dumplings

There are many sayings about eating dumplings in the winter solstice, and there are two that are generally recognized. One is to commemorate the grace of "medicine sage" Zhang Zhongjing's "Quhan Jiao Er Tang". To this day, Nanyang still has a folk song of "I don't serve dumpling bowls during the winter solstice, and no one cares about freezing my ears." The second is that folklore experts believe that the winter solstice is the yin and yang "time to make children," so eating dumplings on this day means "obedience to God's will". In the past farming society, people who had worked for a year took advantage of the winter solstice to reunite and rest, by the way, to reward the family for their hard work over the past year.

Various departments of Qianhai Guoxin participate in the cooking of "Southern Tangyuan & Northern Dumplings", share the delicious food, spread the warmth of winter, and reward everyone for a year of hard work. I hope Qianhai Guoxin's friends "winter solstice"

happy Winter Solstice to everyone!
