Why do you worship your ancestors on the winter solstice?

There are four festivals to worship ancestors in a year, New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Winter Solstice.

It's terrible that people in China have no faith and are atheists. They can only say that these crooked people are really ignorant. They don't know that religious beliefs and ancestral beliefs have been integrated into daily life in Quanzhou, Fujian, China, where multi-cultures are integrated. Quanzhou people firmly believe that as long as they keep awe of nature, ancestors, gods and life, then the road to the world will be brighter and brighter.

This is the annual winter solstice to worship ancestors. As the saying goes, there are no ancestors until the winter solstice. For Quanzhou people and most Minnan people, it is necessary to go home to worship their ancestors on the solstice of winter. Worshipping ancestors in winter solstice is different from New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival, but it echoes Qingming, and is called "ancestor worship in spring and summer" by the world.

There is a fixed food in the Qingming "Spring Festival", which is a cake-moistening dish. I once wrote an article about Runbing Dishes, Runbing Dishes, Cuisine with Spring Force. I want to know how delicious the cake-moistening dish is, so I can go and have a look.

Moreover, the "Winter Festival" from winter to the sun also has fixed food, that is, winter festival pills, winter festival pills and cake-moistening dishes, all of which need to be jointly managed by a large family, which is similar to that of Bao jiaozi in the north. A group of people get together and talk while doing, which is very harmonious and shows the reunion of the family.
