Before the winter solstice there is heavy snow (December 7-9), after the winter solstice there is lesser cold (January 4-6 of the following year), and the winter solstice is from December 21 to December 23.In the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice was regarded as the "Winter Festival". The government held a celebration ceremony called "Hedong". Officials took routine holidays and the custom of "Baidingdong" in which officials congratulated each other was popular in the officialdom. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty recorded: "Around the winter solstice, gentlemen rest themselves and rest their bodies, officials stop working and do not attend to government affairs, and choose auspicious days to do things." So on this day, the court would take a day off to rest, the army would be on standby, the border fortresses would be closed, businesses would stop operating, and relatives and friends would give each other delicious food and visit each other, happily spending a holiday of "resting themselves and resting their bodies." During the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties, the Winter Solstice was called "Yasui" and people would pay respects to their parents and elders. After the Song Dynasty, the Winter Solstice gradually became a festival for worshiping ancestors and gods. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the winter solstice was the day to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. The emperor would go to the suburbs to hold a grand ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven, and the people would worship their parents and elders on this day. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, emperors held grand ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven, which were called "winter solstice worshipping heaven." There was a ceremony in the palace where all officials presented congratulatory messages to the emperor, and they also sent letters of congratulations to each other, just like New Year's Day.
