Falling leaves and cold winds show the arrival of another season. In China, November 7 or 8 is the Beginning of Winter.
To welcome the Beginning of Winter, people have many colourful customs that light up the cold days. One of the most popular customs is to have a big meal. Winter is believed to be a season for keeping food fresh. Eating well helps people save enough energy to beat the cold in winter and prepare for the growth in the coming spring. In the north, people like eating jiaozi. “Jiao” has a similar pronunciation as the word “change”. Eating jiaozi means celebrating the change from autumn to winter. While in the south, eating chicken, duck and fish is common.
In old times, the Beginning of Winter was also a time for people to keep vegetables. There were not many fresh vegetables to eat during winter. So, around the Beginning of Winter, some people in the north began to keep vegetables like cabbages and green onions in a cellar(地窖)underground. When it was time for cooking, fathers went down with a basket tied to one end of a rope. Children were happy to wait beside the cellar holding the other end of the rope. When fathers filled the basket with vegetables, children helped pull it out.
However, nowadays, some of the customs have disappeared. Most people buy fresh vegetables in the supermarket. Instead, new winter customs are born in certain places. In Harbin, experienced swimmers choose to swim in the winter water during the Beginning of Winter. How cold it must be!

落叶和寒风预示着另一个季节的来临。在中国，11月7日或8日是立冬。
为了迎接立冬，人们有许多丰富多彩的习俗，这些习俗点亮了寒冷的日子。最受欢迎的习俗之一是吃一顿大餐。人们认为冬天是一个能使食物保鲜的季节。吃得好能帮助人们储存足够的能量来抵御冬天的寒冷，并为来年春天的生长做准备。在北方，人们喜欢吃饺子。“饺”与“交”发音相似。吃饺子意味着庆祝从秋天到冬天的交替。而在南方，吃鸡肉、鸭肉和鱼肉很常见。
在过去，立冬也是人们储存蔬菜的时候。冬天没有很多新鲜蔬菜可吃。所以，在立冬前后，北方的一些人开始把白菜、大葱等蔬菜储存在地下的地窖里。到了做饭的时候，父亲们会带着一个系在绳子一端的篮子下去。孩子们会高兴地在窖口旁边等着，握着绳子的另一端。当父亲们把篮子装满蔬菜后，孩子们就帮忙把篮子拉上来。
然而，如今一些习俗已经消失了。大多数人在超市购买新鲜蔬菜。相反，一些新的冬季习俗在某些地方诞生了。在哈尔滨，有经验的游泳者会选择在立冬时在冰冷的水中游泳。那一定很冷！
