DongZhi, which is the day that symbolizes the official arrival of winter in the twenty-four solar terms, has a long history and profound cultural connotations in China. On this day, the traditional custom of "dumplings in the south and dumplings in the north" is popular among the people.

In the north of China, dumplings are the "standard" of the DongZhi. It is cold in winter and it is easy to freeze the ears. Dumplings are shaped like "ears", and people think that eating dumplings can protect the ears.

While southerners like to reunite with their families on the day of the Winter Solstice, sit around the stove at night, and eat a bowl of steaming glutinous rice balls, which is a happy and harmonious reunion.

Today, Jufu Canteen cooked a big pot of glutinous rice balls, and the employees were very happy to eat it.
