The origin and custom of winter solstice

The winter solstice is the first of the 24 solar terms decided by the ancients. In fact, the origin of the winter solstice is actually the planning plan of the imperial city. More than 3000 years ago, people at that time used the soil gauge method to measure. Although it has a certain political color, it has far-reaching influence.

After the demise of the Shang Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty, the longest day of the year was determined by the method of returning to the soil, and this day was taken as the beginning of the year. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Qin Empire, the winter solstice was the beginning of a year, and it was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the summer calendar was set, which separated the winter solstice from the first month and became a separate festival.

People usually celebrate the winter solstice by offering sacrifices to their ancestors, eating sweet pills, visiting graves and sweeping graves.
