As a result, the custom of eating dumplings on Start of Winter Day has been passed down through the generations. People want to commemorate the great doctor in this way. Also, according to the old saying of the Chinese, one should “eat what you lack.” With your ears exposed to the outside and easily frostbitten after the Start of Winter, you should have some dumplings, which look like ears to nourish your ears.
