Burning incense The Manchus have the custom of burning incense. At the beginning of winter, when the autumn grain is stored in the warehouse, this season becomes the active season for the Eight Banners of Manchu and Eight Banners of Han Army to burn incense and worship their ancestors. The sacrifice of the Han Eight Banners is called "burning flag incense and dancing to the tiger god", while that of the Manchu Eight Banners is called "burning meat incense". "Burning meat incense" lasts for 5-7 days. During the first three days of ancestor worship and burning incense, the whole family will eat vegetarian food for ten consecutive days and not eat meat. 3. Drinking mutton soup In Tengzhou, Shandong, there is a custom of drinking mutton soup during the Beginning of Winter. In cold weather, drinking a bowl of steaming mutton soup is definitely a treat. Moreover, mutton contains a large amount of fat, protein and rich calories, which is excellent in keeping out the cold. 4. Northern dumplings People in northern China, especially in Beijing and Tianjin, love to eat dumplings. The word "dumpling" comes from the saying "the time of Jiaozi". The 30th day of the lunar new year is the transition between the old year and the new year, and the beginning of winter is the transition between autumn and winter, so dumplings must be eaten at the time of "Jiaozi". 5. Hot tonic in the south In southern China, people like to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat on the day of the Beginning of Winter. On the day of the Beginning of Winter in Taiwan, the street restaurants serving winter tonics such as "mutton hotpot" and "ginger duck" are packed with guests. Many families also stew sesame oil chicken and four-ingredient chicken to replenish energy. 6. Apprenticeship In winter, many villages hold apprenticeship activities. It is the season for students to pay a visit to their teachers. After winter comes, the school directors (school administrators) of urban and rural schools, together with parents and students, bring a square plate (with four dishes, a pot of wine and a wine glass on the plate), fruits and snacks to the school to express their condolences to the teachers, which is called "paying respects to the teachers". |
