阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项(选项中有两项为多余选项)。
The Winter Solstice, called "Dongzhi" in Chinese, is one of the most important 24 Solar Terms.
51 On this day, the sun is at the southernmost point of the year. So the northern half of the earth has the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Ancient Chinese thought this day was the start of "yang energy".
52 This period is named "Shujiu" (Counting the Nines). It starts right after the Winter Solstice and lasts 81 days, divided into nine 9-day parts. The temperature drops to very low levels in China. In northern places like Heilongjiang, it's very cold ($-30°\mathrm{C}$) with heavy snow. In southern cities like Guangzhou, it's wet and cold with the temperature around $10°\mathrm{C}$. So people wear thick clothes and drink warm soup.
There are many customs (习俗) for the Winter Solstice in China. 53 A story says Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in ancient times, made dumplings to help villagers keep their ears from getting cold. So eating dumplings became a must in northern China. In the south, people make "Tangyuan"—glutinous rice balls cooked in sweet soup. Their round shape stands for family togetherness, and families often make them while chatting happily.
54 In old times, even emperors held big ceremonies(典礼) to pay respects to heaven, so it was called "Small New Year". Today, big ceremonies are gone, but families still gather for a nice meal. It keeps the tradition alive and connects people with their roots.
A. It means the start of spring.
B. Eating special food is among the most popular ones.
C. It usually comes on December 21st or 22nd every year.
D. The Winter Solstice marks the start of the coldest period in China.
E. All the people around China have the tradition of having dumplings.
F. The Winter Solstice is also an important cultural event with a long history.
