Mutton meal is the bond of hometown
The winter solstice is quietly coming, and I don't feel homesick, but the fragrance of mutton powder happens to be wafting in the air, which makes Ding Yuying, a 2023 undergraduate student majoring in Geographical Sciences (Normal) of the School of Geographical Sciences from Zunyi, Guizhou, think of the bowl of mutton noodles in her hometown again.
The most famous winter solstice in Zunyi is the "Mutton Powder Festival". On this day, the mutton noodle stalls will be concentrated in the square, and the old folks from various villages and towns will sit next to the tables lined up. They looked at each other and laughed in the gap between eating mutton soup powder, and the estrangement between strangers was also dissipated in the heat of mutton powder. A bowl of steaming mutton noodles in the mouth, fresh and spicy beating and intertwining on the taste buds, Ding Yuying is not satisfied!Mutton also has the saying of "raising meat", and Guizhou people eat mutton powder on the winter solstice to remove dampness and drive away cold, nourish and strengthen the stomach. The old people say that "a bowl of mutton noodles on the winter solstice will not be cold all winter". A bowl of mutton powder goes down the stomach, and the winter chill is gone.
In the past, even if Ding Yuying was in school, the school cafeteria would provide students with hot mutton noodles on this day. The bowls of mutton noodles not only waft the fragrance of mutton, but also contain the warmth of friends, and now there is a faint nostalgia lingering. Ding Yuying said: "Only the taste of hometown is familiar and stubborn, it is like a taste positioning system, one end locks on a foreign place thousands of miles away, and the other end is forever tied to the hometown in the depths of memory." ”
On the winter solstice this year, Ding Yuying is looking forward to connecting with her family and friends to "eat noodles in the cloud", and also hopes to take her friends from Huashi to taste the mutton noodles in her hometown and spread the mutton culture in her hometown of Zunyi.
A simple bowl of lamb noodles.
But it was her hometown that gave her.
The most difficult to let go.
"The winter solstice is warm and reassuring".
Speaking of the winter in her hometown of Luoyang, Henan Province, Mei Haoyuan, a 2022 undergraduate student majoring in law at the School of Law, unconsciously felt the biting cold. However, cold is not the most prominent label of the winter solstice in Henan. The warmth and peace of mind exuded by the aroma of food are Mei Haoyuan's deepest imprint on the winter solstice in Henan.
Every year on the morning of the winter solstice, Mei Haoyuan opens her eyes in the aroma of broth. A bowl of hot beef soup is the beginning of the feast of Henan winter solstice food. Cakes, vegetarian meatballs, pork and radish dumplings and other delicacies lined up on the table, driving away the cold of the winter solstice in Henan. Among them, what Mei Haoyuan missed the most was the bite of mutton stewed noodles. The mutton in the mutton stewed noodles is tender and crispy, the soup base is fragrant and mellow, and the stewed gluten is delicious. Such a top-notch enjoyment made her exclaim: "Henan's mutton stewed noodles should be promoted to the whole country!."”
Winter snow in Mei Haoyuan's hometown.
On the day of the winter solstice, the connection between Mei Haoyuan and her family is not only carried in the food, but also reflected in the emotions that fill her heart. This emotional connection makes her feel extra warm. Outside, the cold wind is howling, the snow is rolling wildly, and the pedestrians are in a hurryIndoors, families sit in circles, eating hot food ......Mei Haoyuan's sense of security arose spontaneously in the words of mutual care and blessing. Over the years, Mei Haoyuan has been a little tired of the same dumplings every year, but she can't forget the taste of her hometown. This year, during the winter solstice in Guangzhou, she will still try dumplings with the same filling, looking for a familiar sense of security. The winter solstice is warm, and the harsh winter is better. What evokes Mei Haoyuan's memories of the winter solstice in her hometown is the aroma of food, the reunion of her family, and the warm peace of mind. Dumplings and frozen tofu.
It was the happiness that the cold winter gave her.
They are accompanied by the side.
No matter how cold the winter is, it will be like a moment.
The winter solstice collides with happiness
Sun Jialin, a 2021 undergraduate student majoring in Chinese Language and Literature (Teacher Training) in the Faculty of Arts, is from Jiaohe City, Jilin Province. For her, the warmth of family reunion and the hustle and bustle of the family record the happiness given by the winter solstice.
Every winter solstice, Sun Jialin's family will get up early to knead dough and make dumplings. Adults and stuffing, dough cutters, children stay aside and are eager to try. After eating the dumplings with thin skin and thick filling, full of meaty aroma, she and her family will grind the beaten beans into soy milk with a stone mill, and then order them into brine tofu, and finally place them in a large vat at minus 30 degrees Celsius outdoors to freeze them to get frozen tofu that looks like a sponge and can absorb the soup.
Sun Jialin and her family made dumplings together.
From being teased by her classmates for making dumplings ugly in elementary school, to buying ingredients to make dumplings by herself in college and receiving unanimous praise from friends, this is not only a kind of growth for Sun Jialin, but also a spiritual sustenance for her hometown. In her freshman year, the Faculty of Arts organized students to carry out a dumpling-making activity on the winter solstice. After eating the dumplings made by her classmates, she recalled the scene when she was teased by her family when she was making dumplings with revealing fillings. While these dumplings made her feel homesick and sad, they also made her feel the meticulous humanistic care of the college and the school.
Sun Jialin said: "The meaning of the winter solstice to me is the reunion of the family eating dumplings around the table. "On this year's winter solstice, Sun Jialin will still inherit the customs of Jilin by eating dumplings. The warmth of the winter solstice in her hometown will be accompanied by the aroma of dumplings, spreading from thousands of miles away, warming her throughout the harsh winter.
Hot winter solstice pills.
Worship the Lord".
kicked off his winter solstice.
Looking forward to winter and spring
As the folk proverb goes, "the winter solstice is as big as the year", Chen Weitao, a 2022 undergraduate student majoring in Science Education (Normal) in the School of Materials and New Energy, shared some characteristic customs of his hometown of Jieyang, Guangdong Province.
Before the winter solstice, every household has to make glutinous rice ball soup with glutinous rice powder, which is the glutinous rice balls in the Chaoshan area. Because the size of the balls is uneven, it is also called 'Father and Grandson Pill', symbolizing the happiness of the family in the twilight of the year. Chen Weitao said. He said that after getting up in the morning, the elderly, good students (young people), and slaves (children) all have to eat a bowl of hot winter solstice pills, and if they eat it, they will be one year old. "Like the older generation often said, the Chaoshan dialect slips smoothly: 'Eating pills and family reunion, eating glutinous rice and fruit will have money, eating celery and garlic will have money to count, and there will be money to persuade." It embodies our yearning for a better life. ”
The winter solstice pill made at Chen Weitao's home.
In addition to eating winter solstice pills, there is also an indispensable custom in the Chaoshan area for traditional festivals - "worshipping the lord". In the eyes of Chaoshan people, there are gods everywhere, and they will call them "masters". On the day of the winter solstice, before dawn, they began to prepare pork, chicken, fish, fruits and cakes, and worshiped the "master" with a pious and enthusiastic heart, praying for the blessing of the gods, looking forward to the winter and the return of spring. "Every year on the winter solstice, the family will get up very early, and before dawn, they will start to 'worship the master', hoping to be blessed and welcome the arrival of the new year. At this time, my mother always told me to drink a bowl of hot 'Winter Solstice Pills' before rushing to school. Chen Weitao recalled with a smile.
Reminisce about the separation of the past.
Cherish the reunion of the moment.
The winter solstice inspires usBe cautious and chase the distance, and continue to miss
In Ganzhou, Jiangxi, the custom of sweeping tombs and worshiping ancestors on the winter solstice has a long history, and the local area also attaches great importance to it. Ye Jiayin, a 2022 undergraduate student majoring in software engineering in the School of Software, was deeply touched by this.
On the day of the winter solstice, her long-lost relatives return to their hometowns from all over the country to enjoy rare reunions and visit the graves of their deceased loved ones. They will clean up the fallen leaves in front of the grave and burn some paper money to express the beautiful meaning of buying items for the Chinese New Year for their relatives who are separated from each other. They also add new soil to the graves, which means adding new clothes to the deceased, as a way to express their remembrance and remembrance of their deceased relatives. In addition, Ye Jiayin's family will also sit around for a reunion dinner, which has a warm atmosphere of "winter is as big as a year".
Although the winter solstice heralds the arrival of winter, in Ye Jiayin's view, it is "the beginning of winter, the warmer the feeling", and the festival of the winter solstice has temperature. The remembrance and mourning of deceased relatives reflect the importance of family and reverence for life under the clan concept, and contain strong humanistic care. The people of Ganzhou silently carry forward and inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture of "not forgetting the ancestors and not forgetting the roots" in the customs, which fully reflects the respect and admiration for the ancestors.
But as she gets older, she feels that this custom is slowly being diluted, and she misses the warm atmosphere of family reunions to worship her ancestors. She believes that through publicity and popular science, people can remember these special traditional folk customs. Talking about the winter solstice spent in ECNU, Ye Jiayin believes that the "eating rice balls for the winter solstice" activity held by the canteen and class also made her feel a strong festive atmosphere.
The winter solstice is as big as a year.
On this day when "the day is the shortest and the night is the longest".
We enjoy the warmth and love of winter.
In the end, I will be grateful for the winter.
Towards the splendid spring.
We are with you. One study is determined.
