In reply to Michelle. Hi Michelle, I'm glad that you found my site for exactly this reason. Unfortunately, there aren't that many resources online about the Dongzhi Festival. You may have luck calling your local Chinese cultural center to see if it maintains a library. ~Wes

In reply to jeffery. Hi there, Thank you for this family focused information. I'm researching Dongzhi for my child's winter holidays festival. Do you recommend any resources for additional research? I'm going to use your lamb recipe for the potluck portion, but I'm trying to think through an appropriate craft or keepsake I could provide at our booth.

In reply to Ida. This is part of why I love this site! Yes, lamb is generally a northern Chinese tradition for Dongzhi, while tang yuan is generally a southern Chinese tradition for the holiday. ~Wes

OMG. This is so weird, I got the email about the Dongzhi festival today and I was just wondering why my grandmother use to feed me lamb on top English muffins. The lamb is following me. LOL Thanks so much for the recipe.
