Composition on the topic of "Solstice in Winter"

There is a traditional festival in China-solstice, and there is a traditional custom in northern China-you must eat jiaozi on the solstice in winter. Jiaozi has many meanings, and there are many sayings in the north. One is to take the homophonic "Favourite" of "Jiaozi", which means "Favourite from Heaven", to pray for future generations and wish the family prosperity; One is to take the shape of "jiaozi" as an "ingot", which means "the way to make money" and look forward to a prosperous business and a bumper harvest in the coming year; There are many legends, but the significance of eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter is very special, because it is very cold in the north, and hands and ears are frozen every year. Because "jiaozi" is shaped like two symmetrical ears, after eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter, the ears will not be frozen in the cold day of March 9.

I still remember the first year of college, because I was in the south, and a group of children from the north didn't remember this festival soon after they entered school. Even if I did, the canteen master wouldn't do it for us. When I was a sophomore, the Spring Festival and New Year's Day were very close. We had a winter vacation before the winter solstice. The days of junior year are fleeting, but a group of young students have learned to miss, and they can't help but miss. Through the madness of every festival, they find all the excuses they can find to get together. I still remember that shortly after the solstice of that winter, the winter vacation was about to begin, and after the winter vacation, we had to go our separate ways in just a few months.

Winter in the south is not cold, perhaps just for memories. A week before the winter solstice, we were all planning the feast that night, saying that we ordered take-away jiaozi. At that moment, we recorded the youth that we cherish and share with each other in another way.

Students born in the south have no habit of eating jiaozi, nor do they have the concept of eating jiaozi in winter solstice. It's just that our student team is a little special. Although it is in the far southwest border, more than half of our students come from Henan and other provinces north of Henan. So on the last winter solstice of university, we ate jiaozi together and blessed our ears together, just like we spent the Water-splashing Festival together on a Saturday afternoon and one day in July of the Dai New Year.

I still remember that the owner of the contracted school canteen was from Sichuan at that time, so it was impossible for us to eat jiaozi at dinner time, because jiaozi was never counted in the canteen during his three years in college. It's not easy to find out the gate of our school in class at ordinary times, that is, on weekends, but it's not difficult to think about the legend of frozen ears, the middle road of the teaching field and the attractive fragrance of jiaozi, a dumpling restaurant in Northeast China. When eating, everyone naturally dumps the uncooked rice in the canteen. Self-study at night has also become lazy. Freshman didn't hold back, sophomore didn't work hard, and there was only frivolity that was about to break free and boldness that had been forcibly suppressed for a long time. Halfway through the self-study, the phone call for ordering food has reached the Northeast Dumpling House not far from the school gate. Because we often go there to improve our food on weekends in the past three years, we are very familiar with the boss there. Perhaps this feeling is based on the regional complex of all northerners. Jiaozi didn't arrive at the next self-study class, and our Class One got its own jiaozi, so we hurried back to our place, closed the door and drew the curtains. Although the instructor was informed by the correspondent and the captain went home for a four-person meeting, we should be vigilant and keep a low profile, and there is no need for collective training. Of course, apart from jiaozi, we also sold them very cheaply in those years, because there is a saying in the north that "jiaozi always drinks", and our catharsis needs to be disguised. I don't remember how much I drank that day, except that we didn't have a good time when the lights were turned off. Speaking of hiding, no one wants to talk about next year's separation. Although we have been looking forward to graduation for a long time, we are not ready to face it alone.

Many memories have disappeared, but in this season, the winter I spent with my brothers is often remembered. When I think of you, I gently say hello, brothers, you are all well. Don't forget to eat jiaozi on the winter solstice.
