What does it mean that the Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year?

People say "Winter Solstice is as important as New Year's Day", which literally means that the Winter Solstice is a very important day like New Year's Day.
As early as more than 3,000 years ago, after Zhou Gong used the gnomon method to measure the shadow, the Zhou Dynasty began to regard the eleventh month of winter as the first month and the winter solstice as the beginning of the year to celebrate the New Year. In other words, Zhou Gong chose the day with the longest "sun shadow" in the year measured by the gnomon method as the beginning of the new year.
Later, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty, the winter solstice was used as the beginning of the year. The Book of Han said: "On the winter solstice, the yang energy rises and the emperor's reign is prolonged, so it is celebrated." People believed that after the winter solstice, the days would get longer and longer, and the yang energy would rise, marking the beginning of a solar term cycle and an auspicious day that should be celebrated.
"Book of Jin" records that "On the winter solstice in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the emperor received congratulations from all countries and officials...the ceremony was second only to that of New Year's Day." This shows the importance of the winter solstice in ancient times.
The Winter Solstice is also called the "Little New Year". Firstly, it means that the New Year is approaching and there are not many days left; secondly, it indicates the importance of the Winter Solstice.
Celebrating the winter solstice as a festival originated in the Zhou Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and has been passed down to this day.
The first month of the Zhou calendar is the eleventh month of the Xia calendar. Therefore, the first month of the Zhou Dynasty is equivalent to the eleventh month today, so there is no difference between celebrating the New Year and celebrating the winter solstice.
It was not until Emperor Wu of Han adopted the Xia calendar that the first month and the winter solstice were separated.
Therefore, it can also be said that the celebration of the "Winter Solstice Festival" has only started since the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and has continued to this day.

About the Three Signs of Winter Solstice:

The ancient Chinese divided the winter solstice into three phases: "The first phase is when earthworms knot; the second phase is when elk horns shed; the third phase is when springs start to stir."
Legend has it that earthworms are creatures that bend when they are yin and stretch when they are yang. Although the yang energy has grown at this time, the yin energy is still very strong, and the earthworms in the soil are still curled up. The elk and deer are in the same family, but have different yin and yang. The ancients believed that the horns of the elk grew backwards, so they were yin, but when yang was born at the winter solstice, the elk felt the yin energy gradually retreating and shed their horns. Because the yang energy was just born, the springs in the mountains can flow and be warm at this time.
