Also, in ancient times people would go home early on the day of the Winter Solstice because it gets dark early and is the coldest point in the universe. So some people think that the Winter Solstice is the Ghost Festival. But in fact, the Winter Solstice is not the Ghost Festival. According to the record in Qing Jia Lu by Gu Lu of the Qing Dynasty: "The local people worship the dead, and regard Qingming, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and the morning of the tenth lunar month as the Ghost Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival, the Winter Solstice, and New Year's Eve are the Human Festivals."

You can’t get married on the winter solstice Generally speaking, it is not suitable to get married before or after the solar terms. The ancients believed that the day before the four solstices and four solstices should be avoided when getting married. That is, the day before the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Winter and the Vernal Equinox, Autumnal Equinox, Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice cannot be used as the day because the energy field of the universe is in a chaotic state. Traditional customs believe that these are the four absolute days and the four separation days and it is unlucky to get married at these times. Don’t travel far on the winter solstice In the legend of the Winter Solstice, it’s not that you can’t go out, but that you can’t travel far. |
