It generally occurs between December the 21st and the 23rd .And it is on December the 22nd this year. 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. From Dongzhi, people begin to “Shu Jiu”. Shu means count and Jiu means nine days. One Jiu contains nine days. Jiujiu means 81 days. After 81 days, the warm spring will be coming. Winter Solstice has a history of more than 2000 years. In ancient China, it was more important than the Spring Festival. Families got together to celebrate Winter Solstice at that time. Now people in the north usually eat jiaozi on this day. People in southern China will make and eat tangyuan ,or rice dumplings, to symbolize the reunion of family. What do you eat on Winter Solstice? Stay warm and healthy, and good luck in the new coming year. Happy Winter Solstice!</p><p class="ql-block"> 冬至，是中国农历24节气中非常重要的一个。它通常是在12月21到23号之间，今年它在12月22日。冬至这一天，北半球白昼时间最短，夜晚时间最长。从冬至起，人们变开始“数九”，每九九天，共八十一天，随之温暖的春天也就到来了。冬至有2000多年的历史。古代有“冬至大如年”的说法。家人们在这一天团聚庆祝。现在北方的人们通常在这天吃饺子。中国南方则会包汤圆，吃汤圆，以象征团圆。你冬至吃什么呢？祝愿大家在新的一年里温暖、健康、好运。冬至快乐！</p> 编辑：刘飞<div>审核：甄茹</div>
