The photos, taken on December 21, show pupils making dumplings at Yezhuping Primary School in Baojing County. Dongzhi, the 22nd solar term of a year, falls on that day this year. The school organized students to make dumplings to let them understand traditional customs and enrich their campus life.

In Chinese traditional culture, Dongzhi marks the beginning of deep winter and a break from farming in traditional agricultural society. It is also a time for family gatherings. (Photo/Yu Caihua, Chen Yaping)
