Aloha e nā hoa,
He lā maikaʻi!
ʻO kēia ka ʻahaʻaina solstice hoʻoilo. Ma ko mākou ʻāina ua kapa mākou iā ia ʻo Dongzhi. E ʻae mai iaʻu e hoʻolauna iki e pili ana i ka meaʻai kūikawā a mākou e ʻai ai ma kēia ʻahaʻaina.
ʻO ka ʻahaʻaina solstice hoʻoilo kahi ʻahaʻaina e mālama ʻia ana a puni ka manawa o ka solstice hoʻoilo, ma waena o Dekemaba 20 a me 23 ma ka ʻĀkau o ka Hemisphere. Nui nā moʻomeheu a me nā kuʻuna a puni ka honua e mālama i kēia hanana me nā ʻano hana like ʻole a me nā ʻahaʻaina. I kekahi mau moʻomeheu, hōʻailona ia i ka hoʻi ʻana mai o ka lā a me ka hoʻohiki ʻana o nā hola ao lōʻihi. He manawa ia no ka ʻākoakoa ʻana, ka ʻahaʻaina ʻana, a pili pinepine i nā hana a me nā ʻaha e hoʻohanohano ai i ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā kau. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona o nā ʻahaʻaina solstice hoʻoilo e komo pū ana me Yule ma nā kuʻuna Pagan, Dongzhi ma Asia Hikina, a me nā ʻahaʻaina moʻomeheu ʻē aʻe me kā lākou mau loina a me ke koʻikoʻi ponoʻī.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o Kina, ʻai ka poʻe i ka Tangyuan i kēia lā.
ʻO Tangyuan, i ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo yuanxiao, he mea ʻono kuʻuna Kina i hana ʻia mai ka palaoa laiki glutinous. Hoʻopili ʻia ka palaoa i mau pōpō liʻiliʻi a laila hoʻopiha pinepine ʻia me nā ʻano mea ʻono like ʻole e like me ka sesame paste, ka bean paste ʻulaʻula, a i ʻole ka peanut paste. A laila hoʻolapalapa ʻia nā pōpō i hoʻopiha ʻia a lawelawe ʻia i loko o kahi sopa ʻono a i ʻole ka syrup. Hoʻokipa pinepine ʻia ʻo Tangyuan i nā ʻahaʻaina a me nā hanana kūikawā, e hōʻailona ana i ka lokahi o ka ʻohana a me ka hui pū ʻana.
Ma ka ʻākau o Kina, ʻai ka poʻe i ka Dumpling i kēia lā.
He ʻano nui nā dumplings i nā kīʻaha i hana ʻia me nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi o ka palaoa, i hoʻopiha pinepine ʻia me nā ʻano mea like ʻole e like me ka ʻiʻo, nā mea kanu, a i ʻole nā tīhi. Hiki ke hoʻolapalapa ʻia, hoʻomoʻa ʻia, a palai ʻia paha, a hauʻoli ʻia i nā moʻomeheu like ʻole a puni ka honua, me kēlā me kēia moʻomeheu i kona mau ʻano like ʻole a me nā ʻono. ʻO kekahi mau ʻano dumplings kaulana e pili ana i nā ʻano Kina, Kepanī, Kōlea, a me ʻEulopa Hikina e like me pierogi a me pelmeni.
I loko o mākou ʻo Huangyan, ʻai mākou i ka tangyuan ʻono i uhi ʻia me ka pauka soya. Ua like ka pauka me ka lepo melemele. ʻŌlelo hoʻohenehene mākou "ʻAi ʻana iā Tu" (ʻO ia hoʻi ka ʻai ʻana i ka lepo).
Inā he ʻaha hoʻolauleʻa ʻē aʻe āu i ʻike ai, e hoʻokipa mai i kāu leka e waiho ana iā mākou. Mahalo mākou i kou nānā ʻana mai iā mākou.
Mahalo & i ka hopena pule maikaʻi!
