Winter Solstice, also known as Dongzhi, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the 21st or 22nd of December. It marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, and various customs and foods are associated with this special occasion.

In terms of food, the most iconic dish is tangyuan, round glutinous rice balls filled with sweet or savory fillings. These balls symbolize reunion and completeness. Another popular food is dumplings, which are believed to ward off the cold and bring good luck. In northern China, people often eat jizim, a porridge made of glutinous rice and various nuts and fruits, to nourish their bodies.
Customs vary across regions, but some common practices include lighting candles, wearing red clothes, and setting off firecrackers to drive away evil spirits. People also visit their ancestors' graves to pay their respects and offer food and incense.
The Winter Solstice is a time for families to gather and celebrate, sharing traditional foods and customs that have been passed down through generations. It is a reminder of the importance of family, community, and the cyclical nature of time.
