Winter Solstice Customs: Eating Dumplings As the saying goes, "On October 1st, the winter solstice arrives, and every household eats dumplings." This custom is left behind to commemorate the "medical saint" Zhang Zhongjing who gave out medicine on the winter solstice. According to legend, when the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing retired and returned to his hometown in Nanyang, it was a snowy winter. He saw that many of his fellow villagers had their ears frozen and rotten, and felt very sad, so he asked his disciples to set up a medical tent in Guandong, Nanyang, and put mutton, chili peppers and some cold-relieving herbs in a pot to cook, then chopped them up, wrapped them in dough to make the shape of ears, and put them back into the pot to cook, making a medicine called "Cold-Repelling and Ear-Correcting Soup" to give to the people. After taking the medicine, the villagers' ears were cured. Later, every winter solstice people imitated the recipe and ate it, thus forming the custom of eating dumplings.
