The Winter Solstice has arrived, and spring's return is near!

 

The first snow has just passed, and the Winter Solstice quietly approaches.

On this day, daylight lengthens while the weather turns cooler.

Jinan Annilte Conveyor Belt kindly reminds you:

Please add layers promptly to stay warm and protected from the cold.

May blessings, health, and good fortune come to you this Winter Solstice.

 

Since ancient times, the Winter Solstice has been celebrated as grandly as the New Year. Whether it's a bowl of dumplings in the north or a glutinous rice ball in the south, each dish wraps itself in the longing for reunion. This warmth, spanning millennia, continues to be passed down in our hands today.

 

【Three Warmth Rituals of Winter Solstice: Tenderness in Tradition】

A Tribute of Reverence: Honoring Ancestors and Welcoming Yang

As a significant “minor New Year,” the Winter Solstice sees ancient people paying respects to ancestors and celebrating winter's arrival. They give thanks for nature's bounty and welcome the revival of yang energy. This reverence for heaven and earth, for tradition, infuses the coldest season with warmth.

 

 

A Gesture of Care: Warming Winter Through Food

“If you skip dumplings on the Winter Solstice, no one will care if your ears freeze off.” This age-old saying holds a simple yet profound concern. From Zhang Zhongjing's “Jiao'er Soup” to today's diverse Winter Solstice delicacies, we savor not just warmth but the heartfelt care behind every bite.

 

May your Winter Solstice be filled with health and warmth in your heart;
May your body stay strong and all endeavors prosper.
