The origin of winter solstice, why do you want to drink winter wine?

Winter solstice is one of the eight festivals in a year. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has a tradition of offering sacrifices to ancestors from the winter solstice to the sun to show filial piety and not forgetting the roots. The saying that the solstice in winter is as big as a year is widely circulated among the people. Winter solstice is also called "sub-year" and "off-year", which means that a year is coming, and winter solstice is very important. When the winter solstice arrives, the New Year is just around the corner, so the ancients thought that the winter solstice was as important as the New Year. In ancient times, people wandering in other places had to go home for the winter festival at this time, which was called "having a home at the end of the year".

There is an old saying in Suzhou, the ancient city, that you don't drink Dongyang wine all night on the solstice in winter. Contemporary businessmen applied this sentence and changed Dongyang to winter brewing to obtain the greatest economic benefit and brand effect, so there was the saying of winter brewing. Dongyang wine in Suzhou in the old days was a kind of rice wine, which was brewed with osmanthus. Its taste is sweet, its color is golden, and it has a faint fragrance of osmanthus, which is very refreshing and pleasant.
