Shanghai locals pay special attention to the solar terms of the winter solstice, so when people hold a winter worship ceremony, they must worship at the Wanshou Palace in the north gate. In the evening, people will build a pavilion to offer sacrifices. This pavilion is called the "Winter Solstice Pavilion". After the sacrifice, relatives eat New Year's Eve and say auspicious words. Therefore, there is a saying that "there is food, and the solstice in winter is the night of the Sun Festival, so you can eat it overnight and freeze it overnight". On the other hand, ordinary people get together for a feast on the night of winter solstice and solar terms, and a large table is full, chatting while eating and pushing a hairpin, which makes them feel happy. True feelings, friendship and affection are connected and aggravated in the middle of the cup.
