In addition, glutinous rice means warmth, and from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, "warm hat" is even more auspicious.

According to the custom of our country, especially in rural areas, every winter festival, people are busy saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, pickling new year's dishes and preparing new year's goods. There are many important folk customs and festivals between Great Cold and beginning of spring. For example, sumptuous food, sacrifices on the stove and New Year's Eve, and sometimes even the Spring Festival, the biggest festival in China, is in this solar term. The great cold solar term is full of joy and joy, and it is a cheerful and relaxed solar term. Tail teeth originated from the landlord's custom of making "teeth".

Nanjing people choose the old hen, or stew it alone, or stew it with ginseng, medlar and black fungus. Drinking chicken soup in winter is really a pleasure. Adding Chinese herbal medicine "medicated chicken soup" to chicken soup can not only replenish soup, but also play a therapeutic role.

4. Sacrifice to Kitchen God and pray for God's blessing. It is a common custom to offer sacrifices to stoves during the Spring Festival. In the past, on this day, people would worship the statues of the kitchen god and his grandmother on the wall near the stove. Sacrificing a stove is a very influential and widespread custom among Han people in China. In the past, almost every kitchen had the throne of "Kitchen God". People call this god "Commander Bodhisattva" or "Commander of Kitchen God", and people in Quanmen generally call it "Kitchen God". Legend has it that he is responsible for managing all kinds of stoves and is regarded as the patron saint of the family. Most of the niches in the kitchen are located in the north or east of the kitchen, with the idol of Kitchen God in the middle.

5. Babao rice. In the cold season, it is best to eat eight-treasure rice and glutinous rice, which complement each other. Babao rice is a sweet food that many families like to eat on holidays. There is a lot of fun here. Babao rice often appears in the late stage of the banquet, which is similar to western-style dessert, while southerners, especially Cantonese and Hainanese, prefer sweets. Secondly, take it as auspicious, because no matter the names such as "Eight Treasures", "Lily" (meaning a hundred years of harmony), "Jujube" (meaning early birth of your son) and "Lotus Seed" (meaning having children after life), they all contain people's good wishes.
