The date of the lunar calendar is not fixed, but the winter solstice is always 1 1 month, so 1 1 month is called "winter month". In ancient China, the solstice in winter was very important and was regarded as a grand festival. There is a saying that the winter solstice is as big as a year, and there is a custom to celebrate it.

"Han Shu" said: "The sun shines on the winter solstice, and you are long, so congratulations." People think that after the winter solstice, the days become longer and longer and the sun rises. This is the beginning of a solar cycle and an auspicious day, which should be celebrated.
