Nine Nine Songs from Winter to Sun in Shandong Province

Shandong winter solstice jiujiu songs:

Do not shoot in September and September;

Walking on the ice on March 9 and April 9;

59, 69, willows along the river;

Seven or nine rivers open, and eight or nine geese come;

99 plus 19, plowing cattle everywhere.

"Winter solstice", the northern hemisphere will usher in the shortest day of the year. Since the winter of November, China has started to enter the "Nine Cold Days", which is what people often say. During the 45 days from this day to beginning of spring, the yang is rising, the yin is falling, the days are getting longer and the nights are getting shorter and shorter.

Customs of Winter Solstice in Shandong: On the winter Solstice Festival, a considerable number of Shandong people will eat jiaozi or wonton, and some will drink. It is said that drinking is to warm the body, and eating jiaozi is afraid of freezing the ears, because "jiaozi" and "rubber ears" are homophonic. In some areas of Shandong, it is common for students to worship their teachers and the younger generation to worship their elders, and farmers have the custom of worshipping their ancestors.
