Winter solstice festival

The winter solstice is a very important solar term, and it is also a traditional festival in China's lunar calendar. Up to now, there are still many places where the winter solstice festival is held. The winter solstice is usually called "Winter Festival", "Dragon Festival" and "Next Year". As early as 2500 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, China had determined the winter solstice by observing the sun through the soil return, which was the earliest of the 24 solar terms. The time is between February 22nd and 23rd of Gregorian calendar 12.

The winter solstice is the year with the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. After the solstice in winter, the days will get longer day by day. The ancient saying about the winter solstice is: when the cathode arrives, the yang begins to grow, the sun faces south, the day is short and the shadow is long, so it is called' winter solstice'. From the solstice after beginning of winter, the climate all over the country has entered the coldest stage, which is what people often say. In China, there is a folk proverb called "March 9 is cold, dog days are hot".

According to modern astronomical science, the sun shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn from the winter solstice, and the sun is most inclined to the northern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere has the shortest day and the longest night. After this day, the sun gradually moved to the north.

In ancient China, people attached great importance to the winter solstice, and thought it was a big festival. At one time, the winter solstice was very big.
