Why is it a custom to eat dumplings on the beginning of winter?

There is a saying in the north that goes, "If you don't eat dumplings on the beginning of winter, your ears will freeze off and no one will care." The origin of dumplings lies in the saying "the time of exchange of money". The Beginning of Winter is the day when autumn and winter meet, and the Chinese New Year is the day when two years meet. Therefore, dumplings must be eaten at the time of "exchange of money".
The Beginning of Winter is the transition between autumn and winter, so dumplings must be eaten at this time. In Tianjin, there is a custom of eating squash dumplings during the Beginning of Winter. The squash is also called pumpkin. The squash eaten during the Beginning of Winter is purchased in the summer and stored in a cottage or on a windowsill. After a long period of saccharification, it is made into dumpling filling on the Beginning of Winter. The taste is different from the squash filling eaten in the summer. It has a unique flavor when eaten with vinegar and garlic.

What should we pay attention to during the Beginning of Winter?

In the past, every winter, it was necessary to take supplementary food to compensate for the lack of energy during normal times. However, the properties of each tonic are different, and people's talents are also very different. If the tonic is not taken properly, it will often do more harm than good. Therefore, it is best to consult an experienced doctor to prescribe a tonic prescription for conditioning. Tonic prescriptions are not simply supplements. On the one hand, they should be based on the different constitutions of each person, using methods such as mild tonic, warm tonic, clear tonic, astringent tonic, etc. On the other hand, they should be based on the individual's root cause of the disease, using methods such as promoting the production of body fluids, invigorating qi, consolidating essence, and nourishing blood. All aspects are covered and each medicine is matched with the other.
Tonic prescriptions are a mixture of various medicines. For example, if rock sugar and donkey-hide gelatin are added to make a thick juice, it not only tastes sweet and soft, but also has no medicinal smell and is easy to take for a long time. It can also nourish the whole body and moisturize the lungs. The medicinal effects are not limited to a certain part of the body and the effects are easy to show. It is most appropriate for patients with various chronic diseases, such as tuberculosis, croup, kidney deficiency, spermatorrhea, anemia, amenorrhea, malnutrition and various weak symptoms to take such tonic ointment.
