Zen language of winter solstice

The Zen language of winter solstice is as follows:

1, the solstice of winter means the extreme meaning of winter. The sun and the moon have a new look, everything is renewed, the cathode turns to yang, and the diligent bodhi is always long!

2. Autumn wind is a window in winter, and the leaves are getting brighter and brighter. At night, the beauty flies, and autumn goes to winter. From the world to the simple avenue, the world of mortals walks in all directions. Don't strive for morality by things, practice Zen and talk about Taoism.

After the winter in Yang Sheng, Dong Jun never saw it again. I don't know the grass, but the plum blossoms leak first. The bell rang deep in the forest and the moon was setting in array. How to make a fool of yourself?

4. The solstice in winter is a day of fasting, that is, it can also be blessed.

When the cathode arrives, the sun is the spirit, the sun is the south, the day is short and the shadow is long, so it is called the winter solstice.

The significance of winter solstice

The winter solstice, known as the "southern solstice", is a solar term reflecting the direct sunlight movement. On the winter solstice, the sun goes south to the extreme, and the sun shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn. Since the winter solstice, the direct point of the sun has returned to the north. The solstice in winter is the turning point of "going south to north". Since then, the sun has risen in height and the days in the northern hemisphere have increased day by day.

The solstice in winter marks the rebirth of the sun and the round-trip movement of the sun into a new cycle. The solstice in winter is an auspicious day. For example, "Hanshu" said: "The sun shines on the winter solstice, and the monarch is long, so congratulations." After the winter solstice, the days are getting longer and longer and the sun rises. This is the beginning of a round-trip cycle of direct sunlight, which should be celebrated.
