Do you burn paper in beginning of winter or on the winter solstice?

Generally speaking, paper should be burned during the solar term from winter to Sunday, because it is necessary to worship ancestors. In some areas, people will burn paper on the solstice in winter, and when they burn paper, they will sprinkle one or two jiaozi to show that their dead relatives like to eat jiaozi. Burning paper money is an intersection close to home. Before incineration, you can write your ancestors' names on the money order, but don't write your descendants or your own names. If you want to write, it is generally called posterity.

In winter solstice, although the sun is low and the days are short, the temperature in winter solstice is not the lowest in meteorology. In fact, because there is still "accumulated heat" on the surface, it is usually not very cold before the winter solstice, and the real cold is after the winter solstice. Because of the great difference in climate in different parts of China, this winter climate is obviously late for most parts of China. The winter solstice marks the beginning of the cold season, and people begin to count to nine to calculate the cold weather (folk proverb: "The summer solstice is the third watch, and the winter solstice is the ninth watch").
