What can't you do on the winter solstice?

What you can't do on the solstice of winter is as follows:

In folklore, you can't go out on the solstice in winter, but you can't go out completely, let alone travel far. There may be two reasons. First of all, on the solstice in winter, the days are the shortest and the nights are the longest. People think this day is not suitable for going out because they are afraid of darkness. Secondly, the ancients said that the winter solstice was as big as a year. In many places, the winter solstice will be reunited like the New Year, and ancestors will be sacrificed, so people are not encouraged to travel far away.

There is also a folk saying that "don't be surprised when you pass by someone else's door on the solstice in winter", which means that people won't come to the door easily on the solstice in winter, even if they pass by someone else's door, they can't make much noise. Of course, this is an exaggeration. Actually, it doesn't mean that even people who pass by other people's houses should stand on tiptoe. It just means that people will get together at home on the solstice of winter. Outsiders should try not to visit other people's homes on this day and disturb others' reunion.

Winter introduction:

Winter is one of the four seasons, and the change of the four seasons throughout the year is a continuous process, and it is also a process of yin and yang transformation, from one to two, from quantitative change to qualitative change. In this gradual process, beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter, also known as "Sili", are the beginning of the season. Traditionally, China regards the 24 solar terms "beginning of winter" as beginning of winter. In winter, life is closed and everything enters a state of recuperation.

The commonly used methods of season division mainly include "solar terms method" and "temperature method". The winter divided by solar terms method starts from "beginning of winter" and ends before the next "beginning of spring". According to the temperature method, winter begins when the daily average temperature is lower than 10℃ for five consecutive days, and ends when the daily average temperature rises above 10℃ for five consecutive days.
