"Nourishing the winter"

On the first day of Start of Winter, there is a custom, "nourishing the winter", 

in Southeast China, in places such as Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan provinces. 

To prepare for the coming of a cold winter, people there like to eat high-calorie foods, 

such as chicken, duck, beef, mutton, and fish, 

which are usually stewed with the four traditional Chinese medicines: angelica, ligusticum wallichii, 

Chinese herbaceous peony and rehmannia glutinosa libosch, to enhance the effectiveness of the nourishment.
