The winter solstice is a time for visiting ancestor graves and paying homage to ancestors, which is reflected in Chinese history.
In fact, during the Tang and Song dynasties, the winter solstice was the beginning of a day for offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. During this time, the emperor would hold a grand ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors in the suburbs.
At this time, people also need to worship their parents and elders. In addition to the several hundred direct descendants of each family, if there is an ancestral temple, the whole family must come together to perform the ceremony. Therefore, the winter solstice is also called the winter sacrifice.
In fact, the custom of worshiping ancestors during the winter solstice comes from a related record in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The ancient book that recorded this is "Monthly Orders for Four People". As mentioned above, during the winter solstice, people need to offer millet and sheep to Xuanming and their ancestors to worship their ancestors.
In fact, looking at the records of the winter solstice, the times of sending belts began to increase. Among them, "Dongjing Menghualu" also recorded that the capital was the most faithful to the winter solstice festival, and at this time people changed into new clothes, prepared food and drinks, and offered sacrifices to their ancestors.
