Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice | Yang Sheng Spring is coming again.

Extreme, extreme, extreme

The solstice of winter, the arrival of cathode and yang.

This day

The sun in the northern hemisphere moves southward to the extreme.

The shortest day of the year.

The longest night.

There are three stages in winter solstice, one is earthworms knotting, the other is elk horn unraveling, and the third is water spring moving. Yin Qi is extremely convergent, and Yang Qi returns to the innermost side, and then gradually returns to the outer side. With this rhythm, the worms of Yin and Yang are still curled up in the soil, and the beasts of Shui Ze sensed Yang Qi and solved the problem. The spring water under the mountain stream ice flows slowly. Although it is a bitter and cold season, after the birth of the sun, the natural vitality of heaven and earth is hidden.

The ancients never looked at the present superficial phenomenon, but looked at the energy running trend behind the phenomenon, so the winter solstice was regarded as the beginning of the twenty-four solar terms, and the beginning of a year was equivalent to the current "Spring Festival" and "New Year". In ancient times, people had to hold grand ceremonies to welcome the New Year.

Jia Qinglu said that "the winter solstice is as big as a year", which is a common saying that can only be heard in the south now, while the north retains the custom of eating jiaozi on the winter solstice. Jiaozi and wonton are stuffed with bread and have different names; "Wonton" is a homonym of "chaos", and the universe was chaotic from the beginning. Eating wonton symbolizes breaking the chaos, opening the world and restarting the cycle, which indicates the blooming of another cycle.

During the winter solstice, it is an important node for the interaction, transmission and growth of Yin and Yang in a year. Is the main collection and foundation, should be quiet and not moving. In ancient times, you refused to listen to politics, officials refused to do things, business trips failed, and trade stopped. Wang also closed the door, thanked the guests and stayed at home for the winter. Heaven is irreversible, and modern people should at least not overwork or do strenuous exercise, go to bed early and get up late, and spend more time in the sun to enhance yang. The most suitable exercise is standing pile, Tai Chi, yoga and other guiding techniques, which can guide the downward movement of qi and blood, nourish the waist and legs, and thus stabilize the foundation.

The days and personnel change rapidly every day, and then the winter solstice, after the winter solstice, after the weather gets warmer, spring comes back.

Because of the long days, female embroiderers can embroider several colorful silk threads, and the torch vehicle has flown over Jia Pass.

The river bank seems to be waiting for the last month to pass, so that the willows can stick out their branches and take out new buds, and the mountains can break through the cold so that the plum blossoms can bloom.

Although I am in a foreign land, the scenery here is no different from my hometown, so let the children pour wine and have a drink.

Half a winter solstice, the heavenly heart has not changed.

The sun rises and everything is not born.

Xuanjiu has a light taste and a positive sound.

If this party doesn't believe me, I want to ask you.

Today, when it is south, our door is silent.

If you are poor, you will have a light holiday, and when you are old, you will be afraid of getting old.

After the sacrifice, everyone worships and sleeps alone.

However, I should explore the dream of spring and have surrounded Mirror Lake.

It was inconvenient to travel in ancient winter and was not suitable for outdoor activities. In the slow winter, surrounding the furnace, picking flowers, enjoying the snow and drawing pictures to cool the cold became the pleasure of the ancients. According to ancient records, it is more common to draw 81 circles to form auspicious patterns, or draw a plum blossom with 81 petals and dye one petal every day. When plum blossoms are in full bloom, the cold will return to spring. At present, we have developed a series of products with humanistic feelings according to the ancient people's mood of enjoying snow and the achievements of sages' pen and ink. Whether it is classical new Chinese style or modern minimalist style, they can be widely used in home space and can help you create a humanistic life style.
