Wechat launch the Winter Solstice time-limited status: "eat dumplings" or "eat Yuanxiao" which do you choose?

CTOnews.com news on December 22, today is the 22nd of the 24 solar terms-the Winter Solstice, and also the last solar term in 2022.

After 0.1, Wechat launched two time-limited states-"eating dumplings" and "eating Yuanxiao". Users can click "status" in the "I" interface of Wechat to set the status, which is valid for 24 hours.

CTOnews.com learned that last year Wechat's current status only went online for "eating dumplings" at first, and then Wechat went online for "eating Yuanxiao" after being complained by some southern partners. This year Wechat learned from last year's lessons and launched the two states of "eating dumplings" and "eating Yuanxiao" at the same time, making a happy choice for both southern and northern partners.

Chinese people have had the custom of eating dumplings and dumplings on the Winter Solstice's day since ancient times. It is reported that the difference in tastes between the south and the north is due to the difference of major crops. "tangyuan" is a necessary food in the south, especially in the south of the Yangtze River during the winter solstice. "Yuan" means "reunion" and "happiness", so the Winter Solstice is also called "the Winter Solstice Yuan" when he eats tangyuan.

In the north, dumplings are the best partners for the winter solstice. Because eating dumplings on this day has the meaning of "dispelling the cold", there is still a folk saying that "the Winter Solstice misbehaved dumpling bowls and frozen ears were left unattended".
