Today, I made dumplings with my child, and took her to experience the traditional customs of the winter solstice. Ms. Wang, a parent who participated in the event, shared her insights.
As the saying goes: the winter solstice is as big as the year. As an important solar term in the 24 solar terms and a traditional Chinese folk festival, making and eating dumplings is an important traditional custom of the winter solstice. In the past winter solstice solar term, the Huanghu Town Party and Mass Service Center led everyone to inherit the winter solstice culture in the 24 solar terms with a parent-child dumpling making practice activity.
At the scene, everyone chose the filling according to their preferences, including celery pork, corn pork, children wore gloves, and learned to knead dumpling skins under the guidance of their parents. Making dumplings is an old custom, and eating dumplings on the winter solstice also means people's beautiful expectations for winter. After the steaming dumplings are out of the pot, the children taste the happiness and warmth of winter. The sentence "eat more dumplings on the winter solstice, warm in winter, and it is difficult to do so" is the cultural inheritance in the solar terms.
Reading the solar term culture from the experience of solar terms tradition, and enhancing cultural self-confidence in inheriting Chinese civilization, the "24 solar terms promotion" spark spokesperson activity launched by the Huanghu Town Party and Mass Service Center this year has been widely acclaimed. Each solar term has a corresponding cultural tradition and cultural characteristics, since this year, the center to "Qingming tomb sweeping, autumn equinox eggs, frost to make persimmons, light snow to make glutinous cakes"...Related activities popularize the cultural customs of the solar terms. According to statistics, up to now, 22 solar terms have been promoted. The center adheres to the principle of "nourishing the heart with culture, benefiting the people with culture, and benefiting the people with culture", solidly promotes the policy of benefiting the people with culture, popularizes traditional folk customs with solar term culture, and is committed to building the Party and Mass Service Center into a warm harbor of "knowledge and culture".
