The annual Winter Solstice has arrived! The long-standing debate between dumplings and tangyuan is once again heating up!
Who gets the popular vote, the Dumpling Party or the Tangyuan Party? We've invited an exclusive insider, Aster, to conduct an on-site survey for us.
The verdict is in — it's 2:6! Tangyuan takes the lead with a score of 2, while Dumplings score 6.
Though it's Rachel not Rachle，but——I don't know how to replace it！
The Winter Solstice is one of the twenty-four solar terms in China. On this day, the sun is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn, marking the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere. As we move beyond this day, a new cycle begins, and the sun's direct rays gradually shift northward. In the northern hemisphere, the nights grow shorter, and the days become longer.
Why are the Chinese enthusiastic about celebrating this seemingly ordinary day? It's likely because it subtly carries the auspicious meaning of turning adversity into prosperity. As the "Han Shu" states, "With the ascent of yang energy on the Winter Solstice, the ruler's path extends, hence the celebration." This phrase reflects the ancient people's esteem and celebration of the Winter Solstice. The rising yang energy is considered a symbol of the flourishing power of the emperor, and the ruler's path becomes even more prosperous. Therefore, the Winter Solstice has become a symbol of auspiciousness and prosperity, prompting people to celebrate this special day in various ways.
On this day, families gather together to enjoy traditional Winter Solstice delicacies such as dumplings and tangyuan, symbolizing reunion and a bright future. Additionally, some places hold vibrant celebration activities, including dragon and lion dances, as well as traditional rituals and ceremonies, to express respect for the Winter Solstice and convey hopeful expectations for the future.
In modern society, the ways people celebrate the Winter Solstice continue to evolve and diversify. Some places organize cultural performances, light shows, and other events that blend tradition with modernity, adding more vibrancy to this special day. The Winter Solstice is not just a moment in time; it is a carrier of cultural heritage that bridges the gap between the ancient and the modern. It carries people's aspirations and hopes for a beautiful life, creating a connection between the past and the present.
Coincidentally, the upcoming Christmas, celebrated as the Western countries' New Year, is right around the corner.
Christmas, originating from the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, symbolizes new life, peace, and hope. Whether in the East or the West, people look forward to a better future and come together to welcome this special moment. As a company closely collaborating with international clients, Bizarre Sports Company understands that for many, Christmas is not just a celebration but also an expression of faith and a way to convey sentiments and memories.
