There is also a saying about drinking on the solstice in winter. A long time ago, after entering the 99 solar terms, some literati engaged in the so-called cold-dispelling activities. They chose a "9" day, when nine people drank alcohol (the homonym of "wine" and "9"), and nine dishes and bowls were served on the table. Those who finished the table used "9 flowers" to sit on the furniture, taking the meaning of nine festivals to dispel the cold.
