Where in the country do tomb sweeping during the winter solsticeThe custom of sweeping tombs during the winter solstice exists in many places across the country, including Shaoxing and Xinchang in Zhejiang; Hefei and Chaohu in Anhui; Guang'an in Sichuan; Chaoshan in Guangdong; both sides of the Taiwan Straits; Inner Mongolia; Linyi in Shandong; and coastal areas of Guangdong (Hui'an).In Shaoxing, Zhejiang , every family worships their ancestors on the winter solstice. Those who have ancestral halls or family temples will gather their clansmen in the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, which is called "doing the winter solstice." In Shaoxing and Xinchang counties in Zhejiang Province , people often visit their ancestors' tombs on the winter solstice, add mud to the graves, remove weeds, and build foundations, believing that this is an auspicious day to start construction. Otherwise, you may encounter unexpected disasters. Hefei, Chaohu and other places in Anhui also have the tradition of "doing winter solstice" around the winter solstice. Generally, people cut paper into clothes for men and women before the winter solstice and send them to the ancestral tomb to be burned on the winter solstice, which is commonly known as "sending winter clothes." After the sacrifice, relatives and friends gather together to drink, commonly known as "Winter Solstice Wine", to remember the deceased and to strengthen their relationships. Some take advantage of the opportunity of the whole family gathering. Deal with some clan affairs. In Guang'an, Sichuan , after offering sacrifices to ancestors in the ancestral temple, the whole clan looks at the family tree and adds the number of people living in the family. In the Chaoshan area of Guangdong , on the day of the winter solstice, people prepare pork, chicken, fish and other sacrificial animals, go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and then the family eats together around the table. The worship is usually completed before noon, and the family reunites for lunch. A Han Chinese proverb in Chaoshan area says: "Winter Festival is as important as New Year" and "If you don't return home during Winter Festival, you will have no ancestors." It means that people who are away from home must rush back home to worship their ancestors on the winter solstice, otherwise they will have no sense of ancestral home. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits attach great importance to the Winter Solstice and regard it as a family reunion festival. After eating winter dumplings, people in Chaoshan also stick two winter dumplings on conspicuous places such as doors, windows, tables, cupboards, stairs, beds, etc. in their homes, and even on the bows of fishermen's boats, the horns of farmers' oxen, and the fruit trees planted by fruit farmers. Inner Mongolia also calls the winter solstice the "Ghost Festival" and people carry incense and paper to the graves to pay tribute. In places like Jiangxi and Changning, Hunan, people also visit graves on the Winter Solstice with the same rituals as during the Qingming Festival. In Linyi, Shandong , people believe that the winter solstice is the day to send winter clothes to the dead and to strengthen the houses. Every household cuts paper clothes, burns them in front of the tomb, and adds soil to the grave. In the coastal areas of Guangdong, such as the Haishan area of Raoping, local fishermen have to worship their ancestors before going out to sea to fish during the Qingzhan period, meaning to ask the gods and ancestors to bless the fishermen to have a safe trip to the sea. In Hui'an, Guangdong , in addition to ancestor worship, there are some customs similar to the Qingming Festival on the Winter Solstice. Winter Solstice Customs: Braised Eggs with Longan in Jiaxing, Zhejiang The Winter Solstice was a major festival in ancient times. Jiaxing attaches great importance to the Winter Solstice. There is a saying that "The Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year", which preserves the ancient customs. According to the Records of Jiaxing Prefecture (Volume 34, Customs), “On the winter solstice, people worship their ancestors and congratulate each other with their hats and caps, just like the New Year’s Day ceremony.” People advocate taking tonic food during the winter solstice, which include red bean glutinous rice, ginseng soup, white fungus, walnut kernels stewed in wine, longan and boiled eggs, etc. To this day, Jiaxing still inherits the custom of eating "longan fried eggs" during the winter solstice. The old people say that because the winter solstice has the longest night in the year, if you don't eat it, you will be cold all night and still feel hungry in the middle of the night.
