Aloha hoa,
He lā maikaʻi!
ʻO kēia lā ka ʻahaʻaina solstice hoʻoilo. Ma ko mākou ʻāina kapa mākou iā ia ʻo Dongzhi. E ʻae mai iaʻu e hōʻike iki aku i nā meaʻai kūikawā a mākou e ʻai ai i kēia ʻahaʻaina.
ʻO ka hoʻolauleʻa solstice hoʻoilo kahi hoʻolauleʻa e mālama ʻia ana i ka manawa o ka solstice hoʻoilo, maʻamau ma waena o Dekemaba 20th a me 23rd ma ka Northern Hemisphere. Nui nā moʻomeheu a me nā kuʻuna a puni ka honua e nānā i kēia hanana me nā ʻano kuʻuna a me nā ʻoliʻoli. I kekahi mau moʻomeheu, hōʻailona ia i ka hoʻi ʻana mai o ka lā a me ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki no ka lōʻihi o ke ao. He wā ia no ka ʻākoakoa ʻana, ʻahaʻaina, a pili pinepine i nā kuʻuna a me nā hana e mahalo ai i ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā kau. ʻO nā laʻana o nā ʻahaʻaina solstice hoʻoilo ʻo Yule ma nā kuʻuna Pagan, Dongzhi ma Asia Hikina, a me nā hoʻolauleʻa moʻomeheu ʻē aʻe me kā lākou mau kuʻuna kūʻokoʻa a me ke ʻano nui.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o Kina, ʻai nā kānaka iā Tangyuan i kēia lā.
ʻO Tangyuan, i kapa ʻia ʻo yuanxiao, he mea ʻai kuʻuna Kina i hana ʻia mai ka palaoa laiki paʻa. Hoʻopili ʻia ka palaoa i mau pōpō liʻiliʻi a laila hoʻopiha ʻia me nā mea hoʻopiha momona like ʻole e like me ka paʻi sesame, ka paʻi pīni ʻulaʻula, a i ʻole ka paʻi pīkī. Hoʻopili ʻia nā pōpō i hoʻopiha ʻia a lawelawe ʻia i loko o kahi sopa momona a i ʻole syrup. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ʻo Tangyuan i ka wā ʻahaʻaina a me nā hanana kūikawā, e hōʻailona ana i ka lokahi ʻohana a me ka hui pū ʻana.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o Kina, ʻai nā kānaka i ka Dumpling i kēia lā.
ʻO nā dumplings kahi ʻāpana ākea o nā kīʻaha i loaʻa i 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 ka paʻakai. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻolapalapa, ka mahu, a i ʻole ka pan-palai, a hauʻoli ʻia i nā moʻomeheu like ʻole a puni ka honua, me kēlā me kēia moʻomeheu i kona ʻano like ʻole a me nā ʻono. ʻO kekahi mau ʻano dumplings kaulana e like me nā ʻano Pākē, Kepanī, Korea, a me ʻEulopa Hikina e like me ka pierogi a me ka pelmeni.
I loko o mākou Huangyan, ʻai mākou i ka tangyuan momona i uhi ʻia me ka pauka soy. Ua like ka pauda me ka lepo melemele. ʻŌlelo pū mākou me ka ʻakaʻaka ʻo "Eating Tu"(Means eating soil).
Inā he aha ʻahaʻaina ʻē aʻe āu i ʻike ai, e hoʻokipa i kāu leka haʻalele iā mākou. Mahalo mākou i kou nānā ʻana iā mākou.
Mahalo & have a good weekend!
