Winter solstice includes Zhou Ji, jiaozi
The winter solstice is one of the traditional 24 solar terms in China, and it is the day with the shortest day and the longest night in a year. In this festival, it is a traditional custom for every family to pack jiaozi, and it is also an expectation for family reunion and happy life.
First of all, prepare for jiaozi.
The day before winter solstice, my mother and I went to the market to buy fresh pork, leeks and dumpling skins. When we get home, we chop the pork into minced meat, then add the leeks, and finally wrap the dumplings to prepare jiaozi.
Second, the technology of jiaozi.
Although the process of hiring jiaozi is a bit complicated, when you see your family tasting it, you will feel that all the hard work is worth it. First of all, we put the rolled dumpling skin in the palm of our hand, then dig a spoonful of meat and put it in the middle of the dumpling skin, then fold the dumpling skin in half and pinch the edge tightly. This process requires patience and care, because if the dumpling skin is not pinched tightly, it will break when it is cooked.
Third, the fun of jiaozi.
Although it's a bit hard to package jiaozi, we can't express our satisfaction and happiness in words when we see our family enjoying the jiaozi that we personally packaged. Especially when my family praised us for our delicious food in jiaozi, I felt a sense of accomplishment beyond words.
Fourth, the feelings of Bao Jiaozi.
Through this trip, I deeply realized the warmth of family and the importance of reunion. In the process of making bags in jiaozi, my mother and I were busy together, sharing the fun of making bags in jiaozi. This feeling makes me feel very happy, and it also makes me cherish the time with my family more.
Fifth, the significance of jiaozi.
Jiaozi is not only a traditional custom, but also a kind of love and expectation for family and family life. By including jiaozi, we can enhance the affection between family members and strengthen family cohesion. At the same time, jiaozi is also an inheritance and development of traditional culture, which makes us cherish and pay more attention to the importance of traditional culture. In a word, I deeply realized the warmth of home and the happiness of reunion through the solstice experience of making friends this winter.
