The Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year. When the morning frost freezes on the window lattices and the dusk spreads over the streets and alleys early, this day with the shortest daylight and the longest yearning of the year comes quietly with the warmth of daily life.

In the kitchen in the north, the aroma of dumplings wafts through the air early on. The family sat around the cutting board, one rolling out the wrappers and the other shaping the pleats. With their fingertips moving freely, they wrapped both warmth and hope into the plump white dumplings. The elders say, "Eating dumplings on the Winter Solstice won't freeze your ears." In fact, they are using this warmth to chew the concern of their family members into their hearts.

In the small pot in the south, the tangyuan are bubbling. The snow-white dumplings float up and down in the boiling water. When bitten into, they are either black sesame seeds with a runny core or sweet ones wrapped in crushed peanuts. Sprinkle a spoonful of osmanthus sugar, and the warm soup goes down. Even the breath is filled with sweetness. "Eating round dumplings adds to the year." This bowl of glutinous and chewy tangyuan conceals the most simple expectations of people in the south for reunion.

As a partner deeply engaged in the talc industry, Xinda Talc has always understood the weight of "warmth" - it is the original intention of protecting the ecology during mining, the craftsmanship of adhering to quality during product processing, and the sincerity when standing side by side with every partner and every customer. This Winter Solstice, we also want to invite you to slow down: If you are sitting around with your family, why not enjoy a bowl of hot food together and chat about daily life? If you are still busy at your post, may you also find a moment of warmth and feel the tenderness of the end of the year.

Today, why not slow down and sit around a table with someone you care about, enjoying warm food and chatting about daily life together? Xinda talc wishes to offer you its original aspiration as a gift and accompany you through the cold winter. May you feel warm on the Winter Solstice, have delicious meals every day, be healthy every year, and have warmth by your side and everything go smoothly on every journey ahead.
