Do Cantonese People Pay Attention to beginning of winter or Winter Solstice?

In Guangdong, there is a saying that the solstice in winter celebrates the New Year, so Cantonese people attach great importance to it.

Today's winter solstice festival still retains many historical sites. From the winter of the solstice, it entered the cold weather for several days in a row. There is a folk custom of drawing "Cold Map in September and September" in various forms. During the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, it was stipulated that the day before the winter solstice was the end of the year, and the winter solstice festival was essentially equivalent to today's Spring Festival.

Although there is no long holiday from winter to Sunday and the festive atmosphere of the whole country during the Spring Festival, Cantonese people will spend a lot of money on this day and have a big meal to worship their ancestors after family reunion in order to pray for good luck and good luck in the coming year. Traditional old Cantonese people will fry some big fish and big meat dishes to worship their ancestors on traditional festivals, and pay more attention to the winter solstice. Besides some family activities, people will kill chickens, ducks and geese, sit around and eat jiaozi and make glutinous rice cakes.
