Winter Solstice(冬至),an important solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar,as the name implies,means the coming of winter.It generally occurs between December 21st and 23rd.According to the traditional Chinese calendar,one year is divided into twenty-four solar terms.On this day,in the Northern Hemisphere the period of daytime is the shortest of the year and the period of night is the longest.
In Northern China,there is a custom of eating dumplings during Winter Solstice.The tradition of eating dumplings during Winter Solstice has its origin in early times.It is said that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing,a well-known doctor from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
One winter,he noticed that many people’s ears were frozen,which made him sad.In order to prevent and cure the freezing injury caused by the cold,he asked his followers to boil mutton,chillies and other ingredients with medicinal properties in a pot for fending off cold.After these were boiled,they ladled (舀取) the mutton and other ingredients out of the pot,cut them into pieces,and then wrapped them with dough skins in the shape of ears.
Afterwards,they put these into pots to boil again.
On the day of the Winter Solstice,the people whose ears were frozen were sent to eat the dumplings.People who ate them felt warm from head to toe and had their cold injury healed.
Thereafter,every Winter Solstice people ate dumplings.Then there became a saying that if you eat dumplings during the Winter Solstice,then you won’t freeze your ears off.
Afterwards,Zhang Zhongjing died on the day of Winter Solstice.In order to honour him,
every year on the day of the Winter Solstice every household makes dumplings.

The Torch Festival is a traditional festival celebrated among some ethnic groups in the southwest of China,such as the Yi,Bai,Hani,Lisu,Naxi,Lahu,etc.It usually falls on the 24th,
25th or 26th of June in the Chinese lunar calendar,with three days of celebrations.The origin of the festival may have something to do with the worship of fire by ancestors,who believed fire had the power to drive away insects and protect crop growth.For some ethnic groups,it’s a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them on taking care of crops.
During the festival,big torches are made to stand in all villages,with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls,the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time,people walk around the fields and houses,holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages,young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races and bullfights are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan,torches are used to form hurdles (栏架) for riders to get through.The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally attach fruit to torches with ropes.When the ropes are broken after the torches are lit,people struggle for the fruit for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan,the festival is an occasion for holding grand torch parades.
Big torches are carried by the procession (队伍),which is like a fire dragon.If several processions from different directions meet,it’s a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.

23 October or 24 October is the beginning of Shuangjiang or Frost’s Descent in English,
the 18th of the 24 solar terms (节气) in the Chinese lunar calendar.It refers to the time when frost (霜) starts to fall across China,or “the dew (露水) was frozen into frost” because of the coldness,as recorded in ancient Chinese books.By the time of Shuangjiang,most of the harvesting work is already completed in the north of China,and farmers are now able to enjoy a period of rest.But in the south the harvest is still on the go.Farmers have to take home the sweet potatoes before they are destroyed by the coming frost.After a year of farming,it is the time to plough the fields and prepare the soil for next year in both south and north.
　　Autumn might be the most colourful season in China with the leaves turning from golden yellow to red.Hiking has become popular since the ancient times as people can enjoy the special autumnal scenery.Du Mu,a well-known poet from the Tang Dynasty wrote the beautiful scenery in a poem:“I stopped the coach as charmed by the maple woods;Frosted autumn leaves outshine February flowers in redness.”
　　The Double Ninth Festival also falls during the season,a festival for the elders.Going hiking in the highlands is part of the celebrations practised by the ancient Chinese people.
　　“Keeping warm” becomes a most important thing at this time of the year as the weather is getting colder.Persimmon (柿子) is the favoured fruit in many areas.The Chinese believe that persimmons could not only keep off the coldness,but strengthen the muscles and bones.
Also,chicken or mutton soup is believed to be good for the spleen (脾脏) and advised for the diet.
　　Shuangjiang brings the frost and freezing wind,and autumn has come to an end.But for most Chinese,it is not necessarily a sad time because in winter,they are able to have different but equally beautiful scenery.

Winter Solstice(冬至),an important solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar,as the name implies,means the coming of winter.It generally occurs between December 21st and 23rd.According to the traditional Chinese calendar,one year is divided into twenty-four solar terms.On this day,in the Northern Hemisphere the period of daytime is the shortest of the year and the period of night is the longest.
In Northern China,there is a custom of eating dumplings during Winter Solstice.The tradition of eating dumplings during Winter Solstice has its origin in early times.It is said that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing,a well-known doctor from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
One winter,he noticed that many people’s ears were frozen,which made him sad.In order to prevent and cure the freezing injury caused by the cold,he asked his followers to boil mutton,chillies and other ingredients with medicinal properties in a pot for fending off cold.After these were boiled,they ladled (舀取) the mutton and other ingredients out of the pot,cut them into pieces,and then wrapped them with dough skins in the shape of ears.
Afterwards,they put these into pots to boil again.
On the day of the Winter Solstice,the people whose ears were frozen were sent to eat the dumplings.People who ate them felt warm from head to toe and had their cold injury healed.
Thereafter,every Winter Solstice people ate dumplings.Then there became a saying that if you eat dumplings during the Winter Solstice,then you won’t freeze your ears off.
Afterwards,Zhang Zhongjing died on the day of Winter Solstice.In order to honour him,
every year on the day of the Winter Solstice every household makes dumplings.

The Torch Festival is a traditional festival celebrated among some ethnic groups in the southwest of China,such as the Yi,Bai,Hani,Lisu,Naxi,Lahu,etc.It usually falls on the 24th,
25th or 26th of June in the Chinese lunar calendar,with three days of celebrations.The origin of the festival may have something to do with the worship of fire by ancestors,who believed fire had the power to drive away insects and protect crop growth.For some ethnic groups,it’s a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them on taking care of crops.
During the festival,big torches are made to stand in all villages,with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls,the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time,people walk around the fields and houses,holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages,young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races and bullfights are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan,torches are used to form hurdles (栏架) for riders to get through.The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally attach fruit to torches with ropes.When the ropes are broken after the torches are lit,people struggle for the fruit for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan,the festival is an occasion for holding grand torch parades.
Big torches are carried by the procession (队伍),which is like a fire dragon.If several processions from different directions meet,it’s a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.
