The Winter Solstice, also known as the Shortest Day, Winter Festival, Sub-New Year, and Winter Worship, has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional festival among the Chinese people.
The Winter Solstice is one of the eight festivals of the four seasons and is regarded as a major festival in winter. In ancient times, there was a saying among the people that "the Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year", so the ancients called the Winter Solstice "the sub-year" or "the little year".
