65438+February 2 1: winter solstice

Winter solstice, also known as winter festival, Asian New Year Festival and Long Day Festival, has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional folk festival in China. From winter to the sun, the sun reaches 270 degrees, and festivals are held every year on the Gregorian calendar 65438+February 2 1-23. Winter solstice is one of the eight festivals in a year. In ancient times, there was a custom of "eight festivals" to worship the gods and ancestors. Winter solstice is regarded as a big holiday in winter. There is a folk saying that winter solstice is as big as a year, so the ancients called it "sub-year" or "off-year". In some coastal areas in southern China, the traditional custom of offering sacrifices to ancestors during the winter solstice is still continuing. In some areas of northern China, it is a custom to eat jiaozi every winter solstice.

The winter solstice marks the minimum height of the sun and the shortest day in the northern hemisphere, but the temperature in winter solstice is not the lowest. On the solstice of winter, the sun shines directly on the ground and reaches the southernmost tip of the year. The sun shines almost directly on the tropic of Capricorn (also known as the winter solstice daily line), and the sun is most biased towards the northern hemisphere. Therefore, in all parts of the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is the shortest day in a year, and the farther north, the shorter the day. It is worth noting that around the winter solstice, the earth is located near the perihelion, and its running speed is slightly faster, resulting in that the time of direct sunlight in the southern hemisphere is about 8 days shorter than that in the northern hemisphere in a year, so the winter in the northern hemisphere is slightly shorter than that in summer.

65438+February 24th: Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve, that is, Christmas Eve (65438+February 24th), is a part of Christmas in most Christian countries, but now, due to the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, it has become a worldwide festival.

Christmas Eve is traditionally a day to decorate Christmas trees, but with the celebration of Christmas starting earlier, for example, in the United States, after Thanksgiving, many Christmas trees are decorated a few weeks before Christmas. Up to now, Christmas Eve refers not only to the night of 65438+February 24th, but also to Christmas Eve, especially to the whole day of 65438+February 24th. However, due to the general festive atmosphere, large-scale activities are concentrated in the evening, so it is called Christmas Eve. At that time, thousands of Europeans and Americans in Qian Qian will go home for reunion. The most important celebration on Christmas Eve is the party. Most family members in Europe and America get together at home, have a sumptuous dinner, then sit around the burning stove, play the piano and sing songs, and celebrate the family happiness. Or hold a fancy masquerade party to celebrate Christmas Eve all night. This is a happy, peaceful, carnival Christmas Eve and reunion night, looking forward to the arrival of Christmas. It is said that on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus will quietly prepare presents for children and put them in socks.

65438+February 25th: Christmas Day

Christmas, also known as Christmas, is translated as "Christian Mass", which originated from Saturnalia in ancient Rome to welcome the New Year and has nothing to do with Christianity. After Christianity prevailed in the Roman Empire, the Vatican drifted into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus. But Christmas is not Jesus' birthday, because the Bible does not record the specific date of Jesus' birth, nor does it mention the existence of such a festival, which is the result of Christianity absorbing ancient Roman mythology.
