Hello everyone, welcome back to the series Stories about the 24 Solar Terms. Today, we will be talking about the winter solstice. It is the time when the night is the longest and the day is the shortest. Did you notice that in December, when school ends, it’s already pitch black outside?

Talking about the winter solstice, everyone thinks about eating tang yuan right? But how did the tradition start? Let’s hear the story.
