Winter Day: Take the kids to learn about the 4 customs of the tradition
1. Worship
On this day in the winter of ancient times, the emperor would bring his subjects to worship the heavens together, and the purpose of worshiping the heavens was to hope that the wind and rain would be smooth, so that the country could be safe.
And now there are still some people in the folk worship in the winter to express gratitude and remembrance of their ancestors.
If the hometown has the habit of worship, on this day there is time to take the children to the hometown to participate in the ancestral worship day activities, but also to let the children know where their roots are, and take the children to feel the atmosphere of the rural festivals together.
2. Send clothes
Because winter is the beginning of three or nine days, from this day the weather becomes very cold, and the weather is cold, we have to keep warm.
So in some places there is a winter to the elders or children to send warm shoes or socks habits, it is recommended that parents on the day of the winter solstice can buy a new pair of socks or new warm shoes, new vests and new hats for the child, so that the child knows that the beginning of winter we must pay attention to the warmth of the three parts, the warmth of the head, wear a hat; the warmth of the back, usually wear a vest; the warmth of the feet, wear socks and shoes.
You can also go to the street with your children to buy socks or shoes and hats for the elderly, so that children have the idea of respecting the old and loving the young.
Three, eat
Winter is also a good season for supplementation, "eat dumplings in the north, eat tangyuan in the south", are nourishing foods.
On the day of the winter solstice, you can cook some angelica black chicken soup or white ear chicken soup to nourish your child's body.
Winter solstice weather is cold, people's appetite will be better, but eating is also exquisite, you can eat some high-protein and low-fat, such as beef and mutton, but try not to eat too much fat food, too fat food will easily lead to indigestion, and even cause diarrhea.
Some places start with bacon sausages in winter, but these foods are not recommended for children to eat too much, because a lot of salt and a lot of various additives will be added, and children are not suitable for eating salty food.
