Today's winter solstice, in traditional Chinese culture, is not only one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, but also a special day that symbolizes family reunion and warmth. Food and wine are at the heart of the celebration during this festival, carrying deep cultural significance and national sentiments.
The winter solstice is as big as a year, and the world is a small reunion
In China's major regions, it is known as "the winter solstice is as big as the year". In the southern region, there is the custom of worshipping ancestors and feasting on the winter solstice, and in the northern region, there is the custom of eating dumplings. 
The Book of Han records: "The winter solstice yang qi rises, the monarch is long, so he congratulates." "After the winter solstice, the yang energy is reborn, the ancients celebrated this auspiciousness, although there is no ancient winter ceremony in modern times, but this solar term still retains a strong sense of ceremony, the streets, people are crowded, visit each other, exchange rituals, and celebrate this special day together.
On the winter solstice, all things are hidden, and drinking is just in time for the winter solstice, when all things enter a state of rest, and the winemaker has the most profound understanding of "Tibet". The Great Ethnic Liquor needs to go through at least five years of cellaring, first naturally aged in indoor tanks for one year, drained of impurities to enhance the aroma, and then transferred to the cave wine cellar for long-term storage. Finally, it is transferred to the ground tank to stabilize the quality of the wine, and after several cold winters, it can have a mellow flavor. 
As soon as the winter solstice arrives, take out the mellow and full cellar wine and drink it with your family, and the wine gently sways in the glass, exuding a mellow aroma. Every sip of the great national wine into the throat is a consolation for this year's hard work and an expectation for spring.
At the end of the year, the smoke is thick, the reunion is warm, remember to bring good wine, and share the warm winter with your familyMy two-section strategy
