What does it mean to have the sun on the solstice in winter?

Winter solstice means that from the day of winter solstice, the spirit of the sun begins to pick up slowly, which is a "auspicious day"

So in this season, pay attention to health and make up in time, which will not only reduce illness throughout the winter, but also help some diseases accumulated before. From winter to the sun, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn (also known as the winter solstice daily line), and the sun is most inclined to the northern hemisphere, which has the shortest day and the longest night.

After the winter solstice, the sun slowly moved to the Tropic of Cancer, and Taiwan Province Province also approached spring from winter. The days in the northern hemisphere gradually became longer and the nights became shorter. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying that "winter solstice is sunset", which means that the spirit of the sun gradually picks up from winter solstice.

Winter solstice custom:

In northern China, there is a custom of eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter. As the saying goes, "When winter solstice comes, eat jiaozi." In the south, we eat jiaozi, but there are exceptions. For example, in Tengzhou, Shandong Province, the solstice in winter is called Jiujiu, and the custom of drinking mutton soup on that day is very popular, which means driving away the cold.

In fact, it is reasonable that beginning of winter had the custom of making up for winter in ancient times. On the one hand, we need to supplement some high-protein and high-fat foods in winter to increase our body's ability to keep out the cold, thus improving our body's disease resistance.

On the other hand, there was no farm work in winter, and it was hard for half a year. It's time to cook something delicious to reward the whole family for a year's hard work and eat well.
