What are the activities of the Winter Solstice Festival?The Winter Solstice Festival has always been attached great importance to by the people. During the Xiantai period, customs and cultures in the north and south varied, and local customs had not yet been integrated and popularized. Many festivals had a history but lacked records. Many ancient festivals and customs are rarely recorded in written works.According to existing works, the Zhou people (in the Shaanxi area) regarded the eleventh month of winter as the first month and the first day of the eleventh month as the beginning of the year. The Zhou people's winter solstice on November 1st is the same as the winter solstice of the current "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" in the eleventh lunar month. Therefore, it is said that the Zhou people have been holding sacrificial activities on the winter solstice (November) since the Zhou period. "Records of the Grand Historian - Annals of Emperor Xiaowu" states: "Two years later, on the first day of the eleventh month on the winter solstice, calendar makers used the original system. The emperor personally went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the God of Heaven in the Mingtang on the first day of the eleventh month on the winter solstice, and performed Fengshan rituals every time." "Book of the Later Han Dynasty's Etiquette" states: "Around the winter solstice, gentlemen rest and keep quiet, and officials stop working." They also select "capable people" to play the harp and the sheng and play the "Huangzhong tune" to show celebration. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the winter solstice and the beginning of the year were equally important. Meng Yuanlao of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in his "Dongjing Menghualu": "November is the winter solstice. The capital city attaches great importance to this festival. Even the poorest people save money throughout the year and wear new clothes on this day, prepare food and drink, and worship their ancestors. The government opens the gates and celebrates the festival as if it were a New Year's Day." "The Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year." (Qing Jia Lu) Content extension: Eating mutton soup in Tengzhou, Shandong Province on the Winter Solstice The custom of eating mutton during the winter solstice is said to have started in the Han Dynasty. People eat mutton and various nourishing foods on the day of the winter solstice in order to have a good omen for the coming year. In Tengzhou, Shandong, this day is called "Shujiu". Before the festival, people will give gifts such as mutton to the elders. Every family will drink mutton soup on this day, which is a good omen for the individual, the elders and the family. Tengzhou mutton soup is mainly made by putting mutton bones into a large pot to boil the soup, then putting the fresh mutton cut into pieces and the cleaned mutton offal into the soup pot to cook. After it is cooked, take it out and drain it, then cut it into thin slices and blanch it in boiling water. Then pour it into a soup bowl, add boiling white mutton soup, sprinkle with green chopped green onions, and a bowl of steaming and fragrant mutton soup is ready. The mutton soup is made by mixing chili oil, pepper powder, salt, MSG, etc. Fate is predestined by heaven, and the eight characters have arranged the depth of your fate, whether you are destined to be together with another person.
