The poem says, "The northwest wind makes all the grass wither, and after a few cold spells the sun comes out. The daytime is the shortest, but the golden plum blossoms are in full bloom." (Zuo Heshui) The winter solstice is the day with the shortest daylight in the year throughout the northern hemisphere. After the winter solstice, the sun's direct point gradually moves northward, the days in the northern hemisphere begin to gradually lengthen, and the altitude of the sun at noon gradually increases. Therefore, there is a saying, "Eat the winter solstice noodles, and you will grow taller by one thread a day." The Origin and History of the Winter SolsticeSimply put, the Winter Solstice festival originated in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and has been passed down to this day. "Qing Jia Lu" even says that "Winter Solstice is as important as New Year's Day", which shows that the ancients attached great importance to the Winter Solstice. People believed that the Winter Solstice was the natural transformation of yin and yang, and a blessing bestowed by God. Many friends are concerned about the importance of this day. Whether people in ancient times would stop working and take a holiday on this day, there was indeed such a period of time.The Han Dynasty regarded the winter solstice as the "Winter Festival". The government would hold a celebration ceremony called "Hedong" and take routine holidays. There is such a record in "Book of the Later Han": "Before and after the winter solstice, gentlemen rest themselves and rest, 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 holiday to rest, the army was on standby, the border fortresses were closed, businesses and travelers stopped operating, and relatives and friends would give each other delicious food and visit each other, happily spending a holiday of "resting themselves and resting." 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. There are still some places that celebrate the winter solstice. How to calculate the winter solsticeCalculation method of winter solstice date: (y*d+c)-lFormula interpretation: Y=last two digits of the year, D=0.2422, L=leap year number, 21st century C=21.94, 20th century=22.60.
