It is said that the solstice night in winter is the longest, so will the dawn be very late?

Theoretically speaking, after the winter solstice, the days should be longer, the dawn should be earlier and the darkness should be later. However, after the winter solstice, it is obvious that the morning is later than before the winter solstice, and the evening is also obviously later than before the winter solstice. Every winter, the road is usually cleared around 7 am on the solstice.

The solstice in winter is also the turning point of direct sunlight returning to the north. After this day, it went back, and the direct sunlight began to move northward from the Tropic of Capricorn (23 26' s), and the sunlight in the northern hemisphere (China is located in the northern hemisphere) increased day by day.

In Jiangnan water town, there is a custom that the whole family get together to eat red beans and glutinous rice in the evening from winter to Sunday. According to legend, there was a man named Gong whose son was incompetent and evil.

He died on the day of the winter solstice, and became the ghost of an epidemic after his death, which continued to harm the people. However, this epidemic ghost is most afraid of red beans, so people cook red bean rice from winter solstice to drive away the epidemic ghost and prevent diseases.
