Winter is a very important spring in my country's lunar calendar. It is also a traditional festival, and there are still many customs of the winter solstice. Winter Solstice is commonly known as "Winter Festival", "Tour", "Asnee", etc. As early as 2,500 years ago, my country has already used Yulusyu to observe the solar test for winter, it is the earliest development in the twenty-four air. Time is between the annual rolls between December 22nd or 23.
The winter solstice is the shortest day during the year, the longest day in the year, and the winter solstice, and will grow long every day during the day. The ancients said that the cathode is: the cathode, the sun is beginning to live, Southern, the day is short, the sun is long, so the "winter". After the winter solstice, all the climate entered a coldest stage, that is, people often say "into nine", my country's folks have "cold in three nine, hot in three volts".
Modern Astronomical Science Determination, the winter solstice sun direct south to return line, sunshine is the most tilted to the north hemisphere, the northern hemisphere is shortest day, the night is the longest, this day, the sun gradually be shifted.
In ancient my country, the winter is very attached to the winter, the winter solstice is treated as a larger festival, there have been the "winter solstice as the year", and there is a custom of celebrating the winter solstice. "Han Shu" said: "The winter solstice is in the yang, Jian Dao Chang, sincere." People think: After the winter solstice, the day is longer than one day, the yang rebound is a throttle, and it is also a Ji-day, should celebrate. "Jin Shu" records "Wei Jinshui Winter New Year is subject to Wuzhi and Hundreds of Zhizhi ... It is also the same as Yajord." The ancient patronidism attaches great importance to the winter solstice day.
Now, some places have also been here for a holiday. There are winter solves, eating dumplings, eat dumplings, eating ravioli, and the habit of eating winter to rice, winter solstice long lines in this day. The customs of all regions in the winter solstice have also had a custom of sacrifice ancestors.
