It is the earliest of the 24 solar terms and falls between December 21st and 23rd of the Gregorian calendar every year. The meaning of the winter solsticeFrom the meaning of the word:The "Dong" in Dongzhi indicates that it is a winter solar term, which means that the season represented by Dongzhi is winter. The “zhi” in the winter solstice has two meanings. One is arrival and reaching, when the yang energy begins to arrive and the sun shines on the Tropic of Capricorn. The other is extreme, which means the most. On this day, the yin energy reaches its heaviest. Parsing from name: Winter Solstice, also known as Winter Festival, Big Winter, Minor New Year, and Luchang Festival. The ancient solar terms began a new cycle with the winter solstice as the dividing point. The Huainanzi records: "Spring begins forty-six days after the winter solstice. "The Three Rituals and Meanings" written by Cui Ling'en of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties records: (Winter Solstice) has three meanings: one is the arrival of the extreme yin, two is the beginning of the arrival of yang, and three is the sun's southernmost travel, so it is called the Winter Solstice. The ancients believed that the winter solstice was the day when "yin and yang" fought against each other. It was a good time to predict whether the weather would be sunny or rainy, cold or warm, and even to predict the disasters and blessings of the coming year. The ancients said that the winter solstice is when yin reaches its extreme and yang begins to be born. Chen Zhisui's "Zai Jingtang Collection" records: "Summer ends on the Autumnal Equinox, and spring begins on the Winter Solstice." It also says that on the Winter Solstice, the sun reaches its southernmost point, the day is its shortest, and the shadow is its longest. "Winter Solstice" is the natural transformation of yin and yang, heralding good times after bad times.
