What festival is winter?
Which festival does winter refer to?
Winter refers to the winter solstice, which is a traditional folk festival in China and belongs to one of the 24 solar terms. On the day of winter solstice, it is the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere, and after the winter solstice, the temperature in various places began to drop, officially entering the cold winter period.
The solstice in winter is a festival only in Han Dynasty. At that time, it was called the Winter Festival. On the day of winter solstice, officials will have a routine holiday, business trips will be closed and relatives and friends will visit each other. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the solstice in winter was called "Chinese New Year", which was the second festival after the Spring Festival. On that day, children will pay tribute to their parents and elders.
The customs of winter solstice in different parts of China are different. In the winter solstice in the south, we will eat glutinous rice balls and rice cakes and invite friends and family to get together. In the north, we will eat jiaozi, mutton soup and other foods. In Taiwan Province Province, we will make nine-layer cakes to worship our ancestors.
