You must eat three main foods in winter solstice and three main foods in winter solstice.

1, dog meat. It is said that the custom of eating dog meat from winter solstice began in the Han Dynasty. According to legend, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, ate dog meat cooked by Fan Kuai on the solstice in winter, which was particularly delicious and full of praise. Since then, the custom of eating dog meat from winter solstice has been formed among the people. Nowadays, people eat dog meat, mutton and all kinds of nutritious food on the solstice of winter, which is a good sign for the coming year.

2, wonton. There used to be a saying in old Beijing that "winter solstice wonton, summer solstice noodles". According to legend, during the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu in the north often harassed the frontier, and the people were restless. At that time, there were two leaders, Xiongnu tribe and Tun tribe, which were very cruel. The people hated it, so they wrapped it into a corner with meat stuffing and called it "wonton" with the sound of "muddy" and "swallowing". I hate eating, and I want to quell the war and live a peaceful life. Because wonton was originally made on the winter solstice, every family eats wonton on the winter solstice.

3. Radish. There is a folk proverb: "Radish on the winter solstice and ginger on the summer solstice, it doesn't hurt to eat at the right time." He added, "Radish is more delicious than ginseng in winter." On the solstice night in winter, it is just right to stew a pot of hot radish sparerib soup, and the whole family is reunited to celebrate this historic "Asian New Year" festival.
