The Origin of the Winter Solstice:

The Winter Solstice was one of the first of the 24 solar terms to be formulated, yet most people don't realize that its origins actually came from a national-level planning of a capital city. More than 3,000 years ago, the Duke of Zhou used the earth-guillotine method of shadow-measuring to locate the center of the world in Luoyi, a move that had political significance at the time, but became one of the festivals that would influence future generations for thousands of years.　　

The Duke of Zhou went to Luoyang and used the earth-guide method to measure the place where Luoyang was located as the "middle of the world", and then began to divine the auspicious place for the country's gods and goddesses. According to the Shangshu-Luoguin, the Duke of Zhou "went to Luoshi" and examined several places around Luoyang, and finally determined that the eastern part of Jianshui, the western part of Chanshui, and the eastern part of Chanshui were all "the only food of Luoyang", which were good places to build temples and ancestral lands. The historical fact that the Duke of Zhou selected the base site of Luoyi through the "Tugui Measurement" was recorded in the ancient canonical books, and it was also regarded as the established law of statehood by the descendants.
