The Winter Solstice (冬至): It is as significant as the Spring Festival. Families traditionally gather to enjoy special foods, such as tangyuan or wontons in southern China and dumplings in northern China.
Pure Brightness(清明): It is related to the Qingming Festival. During this Solar Term, people not only go for spring outings, but also show respect for their ancestors. Families usually sweep tombs of their ancestors and have some outdoor activities.
Start of Spring (立
春): People traditionally
"bite the spring" by
eating spring rolls , spring pancakes. Some people hold simple ceremonies to welcome
spring, like decorating
doors with fresh flowers.
