“Li means establishment and beginning, while Dong means the end and the time when all things are stored.” Since ancient times, Lidong has been a festival that people attach great importance to.

"Shuowen Jiezi" says: "Winter means the end of the four seasons." The original meaning of winter is the end. It is actually the knot used by our ancestors to record events. People tied knots at both ends of the string, which is the image of winter.

According to historical records, the Beginning of Winter, the Beginning of Spring, the Beginning of Summer and the Beginning of Autumn are collectively known as the "Four Beginnings" and are important festivals in ancient society. On this day, the emperor would lead civil and military officials to the northern suburbs of the capital to set up an altar for sacrifice and perform the ceremony of "welcoming winter."

The north wind blows back and forth, how cold it is

Sparse trees swaying in the air, half green and yellow

A lamp, a half moon

Every night is colder than the last

The rivers in the north began to freeze

The land becomes hardened

Hibernating insects begin to hibernate

Everything in the world seems to have quieted down.

There are three signs in the beginning of winter

The first phase of water freezing

Second phase: the ground begins to freeze

The third sign of "pheasants entering the water and becoming clams"

One explanation is that the ancients thought that the sea clams were large clams.

After the beginning of winter, colorful clams appeared on the beach

At this time, the beautiful pheasants that were common before are no longer there.

Hence the saying that the pheasant turned into a giant clam.

This time

Although the north is frozen, it is just the beginning

It's far from freezing cold

Li Bai wrote in his poem "Lidong": "I am too lazy to write new poems with my frozen pen, and I am warming the wine in the cold stove. I am drunk and look at the ink flowers and the white moon, and I wonder if the village in front is covered with snow."

"Replenish your body in winter and fill your stomach"

People often eat nutritious foods such as chicken, duck and fish
