What are the customs and origins of the winter solstice?

1, the poem of winter solstice: the weather and personnel are urging each other, the winter solstice is sunny and spring is coming again. Embroider five elements with weak lines and blow six tubes of dynamic fly ash. The river bank seems to be waiting for the last month to pass, so that the willows can stick out their branches and take out new buds, and the mountains can break through the cold so that the plum blossoms can bloom. Although I am in a foreign land, the scenery here is no different from my hometown, so let the children pour wine and have a drink.

2, the custom of winter solstice: ancestor worship and banquet.

3. The origin of the winter solstice: It is said that the solar terms of the winter solstice were first measured by the Duke of Zhou by the method of soil return. As early as 3000 years ago, Duke Zhou began to measure the shadow by the method of soil return, and its position in the world was measured in Luoyi, Henan Province, and it was designated as soil. According to legend, "winter" is the earliest one measured by Duke Zhou in the 24 solar terms (time average method), so there is a saying that "winter is the first of the 24 solar terms".
