What is the moral of the winter solstice festival?

The moral of Winter Solstice is that cold is coming, which means that winter is really coming. The folk proverb "the land is closed by light snow, the river is closed by heavy snow, and the winter solstice day enters nine" more vividly explains the weather changes from winter to the future.

Winter solstice is a very important solar term in China lunar calendar, and it is also a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. The winter solstice is usually called "Winter Festival", "Dragon Solstice Festival" and "Asian Year". As early as more than 2,500 years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period, China had observed the sun with the earth, and determined the winter solstice, which was the earliest among the 24 solar terms and ranked first among the 24 solar terms.

It is believed that since the winter of the solstice, the yang of heaven and earth has begun to flourish, representing the beginning of the next cycle, which is a good day. The ancient emperor wanted to sacrifice to heaven on this day, and the ministers also congratulated each other. This custom continued until the Qing Dynasty, and it became a necessary ceremony in winter solstice.
