היפוך חורף

According to historians, more than 3,000 years ago, the Zhou Dynasty began the new year with the longest day of "sun shadow". In this sense, the winter solstice is once New Year's Day. Therefore, there is an old Chinese saying: "The winter solstice is as big as a year."
During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is essential to the festival There is a saying that goes 'Have dumplings on the day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the day of Summer Solstice.'

במקומות רבים בדרום סין, אנשים אוכלים טנגיואן, מעין כדור כופתאות קטן ממולא העשוי מקמח אורז דביק כדי לחגוג את היפוך החורף.
