Is the winter solstice a legal holiday? Is there a legal holiday on the solstice in winter?

1, winter solstice is not a legal holiday, so there is no holiday. The only legal holidays in China are New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, May Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.

2. The winter solstice falls on February 22nd or 23rd every year, 10, which is the 22nd solar term among the 24 solar terms and the 4th solar term in winter. At this time, the longitude of the sun is 270 degrees. During the winter solstice, the direct point of the sun is on the regression line of the southern hemisphere, with the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. After this day, the direct point of the sun gradually moved northward. People often say that it is "cold in March and hot in dog days", and the solstice in winter is "September", so the climate in all parts of China has entered the coldest period.

3. The winter solstice, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,500 years ago, was determined by observing the sun with the earth, which was the earliest solar term among the 24 solar terms. ((Twenty-four solar terms) said: "November 15th, the last gas reservoir, this is the end." It is said that during the winter solstice, Yin Qi reached its peak and then gradually declined. "Tong Wei Xiao Tian Zhu" records: "The fifteenth day after the heavy snow is the solstice of winter, in mid-November. Yin and Yang began, and the sky went south and grew up. " That's right. After the solstice winter, Yin Qi began to decline, and Yang Qi became stronger. The days began to get longer and the nights began to get shorter.
