Steamed mutton dumplings in soup

Overview

Today is the winter solstice, which is the most special solar term of the year. During this day, we will find that the day is at its shortest and the night is at its longest. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the day is yang and the night is yin. The winter solstice is the time of the year when yang energy is at its weakest and yin energy is at its strongest. The health theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Yang energy in the winter solstice means that the human body's Yang energy has begun to sprout. Don't underestimate this Yang energy. This is the Yang energy of the next year. It must be cultivated when it has just sprouted. It is of great significance. Therefore, the traditional Chinese medicine health theory believes that the Yang energy in the winter solstice can be cultivated for one year. If you cultivate this Winter Solstice, you will be in good condition next year. Mutton meat is tender, delicious and rich in nutrients. It tastes sweet but not greasy, warm in nature but not dry. Eating mutton in autumn and winter can not only resist wind and cold, but also nourish the body. It is a good tonic in the cold season. Mutton has the effects of nourishing qi and yin, warming the body and replenishing deficiency, appetizing and strengthening the body. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is called a warming tonic that nourishes yang and replenishes blood and qi. Eating mutton in winter can achieve the dual effects of nourishing and preventing cold. Mutton is known as nourishing meat in winter.
