Introduction to Winter Solstice:

Winter Solstice is the most important solar term in China and a unique symbol of the Chinese nation. A traditional festival, the Winter Solstice is commonly known as "Winter Festival", "Chang Zhi Festival", etc. The winter solstice is the earliest of the twenty-four solar terms, and it falls between December 21 and 23 of the Gregorian calendar every year. On the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere has the shortest day and the longest night of the year. It is a custom in northern China to eat dumplings and in southern China to eat glutinous rice balls on this day.

On the day of the winter solstice, the height of the sun is at its lowest and the sunshine duration is the shortest. The heat absorbed by the ground is more than the heat lost. After the winter solstice, the "counting to nine" begins. Every nine days is a "nine". Around March 9th, the heat accumulated on the ground is the least and the weather is the coldest. That’s why it’s called “Leng Sanjiu”.
