Chinese Calendar’s Winter. 冬至

\According Chinese calendar, today (22 Dec, 1.47a.m) is the beginning of the first day on the winter; hence it will be the coolest month of the year. In traditional Chinese custom, this is an important day that we should see it at serious as Chinese New Year.
One of my Chinese doctor friends taught me a ‘secret’ way to push our health in the best level for the coming New Year is to use some of the cooking rice water to mix with a Chinese medicine ingredient called “鹿蓉” (sort of Chinese essence base medicine) to make the special soup at the timing of the beginning of this ‘Chinese Winter’.
I just follow their instruction and do it accordingly, wish my health luck will be in my best level! Hee hee!
