All the cultures in our country are profound. China has 24 solar terms, some of which are very important. People usually create a festive atmosphere on the solar term, so the most special solar term in 24 solar terms is the winter solstice. Many people don't know much about the knowledge behind it. Today, let's learn about the winter solstice.

1. What happened to the winter solstice in astronomy?

I don't know if you have heard the saying that the solstice in winter is very long and the solstice in summer is very short. This length does not mean the duration of this solar term, but refers to the winter solstice, which is usually the longest night in a year. After the winter solstice, the days will get longer and the nights will get shorter.

What are the customs of winter solstice?

1. In winter solstice, all parts of the country have their own different customs, especially in the north and south. In the north, people usually eat jiaozi on the solstice in winter, especially in the rural areas in the north. There is a saying that the jiaozi Bowl is not suitable in winter solstice, and no one will take care of it after freezing your ears. The origin of this sentence is actually to commemorate Mr. Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in China.

In some areas in the south, people will worship the gods on the solstice in winter. Every family will invite their gods out the day before and put them in the middle of the living room at home. The next day, various tributes will be arranged for blessing. If you want to come next year, you can feel at home and have a smooth career for one year. In addition to these, people will choose to eat barbecue or rice cake mutton soup and other foods on this day.

The above is a little knowledge about the winter solstice. I hope parents can pass this knowledge on to their children. After all, the winter solstice is one of the most important traditional solar terms in China. You can't just remember what you ate on the winter solstice, but you should know what the winter solstice is like.
