On December 21 this year, the day is Winter Solstice(冬至). It is an important day in China. What is special on the day? The answer is that the daytime lasts(持续) the shortest and the night lasts the longest of the year in the northern hemisphere(北半球). Its Chinese name “dongzhi” means that winter comes and the days get colder.
In China, it is tradition(传统) to eat dumplings(饺子)on this day. This tradition comes from a famous doctor named Zhang ZhongJing. On a cold winter day, Zhang sees people have frostbite(冻伤) on their ears. To help them, he makes a kind of food in the shape(形状)of an ear, just like the dumplings we eat today. After eating the food, people feel very warm and their frostbite go away. From then on, people start to eat dumplings on Winter Solstice.
Now, Winter Solstice gives family a chance to get together and share their happiness.
