JOURNEY THROUGH THE TRADITIONS OF CHINA. WINTER - CORINTH (JUN1318)

Although now the trees are bare and the small wild animals are rarely seen in the fields, the air smells of the imperial orchid, a symbol of aesthetic perfection, as the Chinese said in Antiquity.

The first snowfall is also a signal for fruit growers, who must protect their trees from frost. Now, people gather around the mouth of the stove and treat themselves to baked sweet potatoes, and during the winter solstice, Chinese dumplings are not missing from the table.

The arrival of the New Year means the end of the three months of winter. This means that spring is preparing to reappear on the scene and thus begins a new cycle of 24 solar terms.
