Why do you say "New Year's Day from winter to morning"?

In the Yin period, the year ended on the day before the winter solstice, and the last 24 solar terms were headed by the winter solstice. Therefore, there is a folk proverb in China that the solstice in winter is as big as a year.

On the solstice of winter, families get together, sacrifice ancestors and celebrate exchanges, just like New Year's Day. Northeast China, Hebei, Henan and other places have the custom of eating jiaozi from the winter solstice. From this day on, the yang of the earth began to increase, and the yang in the human body also adapted to nature and gradually recovered. More and more people in China go to help Yang in early spring.

Winter solstice custom:

In the traditional customs of Ningbo, sweet potato soup is one of the must-eat foods in winter solstice. "Fan" and "Fan" are homophones. In Ningbo people's understanding, eating sweet potatoes on the solstice in winter means "turning over" all the bad luck of the past year. Tang Guo is similar to jiaozi, much smaller and without stuffing.

Tang Guo is also called the round son, which means "reunion" and "perfection". There is also a saying in old Ningbo that "you are one year older after eating soup". People in Ningbo are used to adding wine to sweet potato soup. In Ningbo dialect, wine-making is also called "pulp board", and "pulp" is homophonic with "sheng" in Ningbo dialect, taking its lewdness of "high luck" and "high happiness"
