On the winter solstice, the Big Dipper points to Zi, and the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 270°. It falls on December 21-23 of the Gregorian calendar every year. The Winter Solstice is one of the eight festivals of the year. In ancient times, people had the custom of worshiping gods and offering sacrifices to their ancestors on the "Eight Festivals". The winter solstice is regarded as a major festival in winter.The winter solstice was known as "the shortest day" or "the shortest day" in ancient times. The Di Lei Fu Gua, Yi Yi says: The ancient kings closed the country until the day, and merchants and travelers were not allowed to travel. Chen Zhisui's "Zai Jingtang Collection" records: "Summer ends on the Autumnal Equinox, and spring begins at 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. What are the customs and folk customs during the Winter Solstice?Winter Solstice customs: worshipping ancestors and eating traditional winter solstice seasonal food.Worship and worship ancestors Some coastal areas in the south continue the traditional custom of ancestor worship. Every household places ancestor statues and tablets in the upper hall of their home, sets up an offering table, and arranges incense burners and offerings. While offering sacrifices to their ancestors, some places also offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and land, and kowtow to the gods to pray for good weather, family harmony and prosperity in the coming year. Eat traditional food Speaking of food, different regions have different dietary customs during the winter solstice. Northern dumplings, Chaoshan glutinous rice balls, Southeast glutinous rice cakes, Taizhou lei yuan, Hefei pumpkin cakes, Ningbo sweet potato soup, Tengzhou mutton soup, Jiangnan rice, Suzhou wine, etc. ——Jiangnan Rice <br /> In the Jiangnan water town, there is a custom that the whole family gathers together to eat red bean glutinous rice on the night of the winter solstice. According to legend, Gonggong had an incompetent son who committed many evil deeds. He died on the day of the winter solstice. After his death, he turned into a plague ghost and continued to harm the people. However, this plague ghost is most afraid of red beans. Therefore, people cook and eat red bean rice on the day of the winter solstice to drive away the plague ghost and prevent disasters and diseases. ——Winemaking in Suzhou, Jiangsu <br /> The Suzhou region attaches great importance to the Winter Solstice, a solar term. There is a saying in the Suzhou region: "The Winter Solstice is like New Year's Day." Traditional Suzhou families drink winter-wine on the night of the winter solstice. Winter-wine is a kind of rice wine brewed with osmanthus flowers, which has a pleasant aroma. On the night of the winter solstice, the people of Suzhou drink winter-wine and also eat a variety of braised dishes such as braised beef and braised mutton. In the cold winter, brewing wine can not only ward off the cold, but also express the Suzhou people's beautiful wishes for life. —— Jiangxi Ma Ci <br /> Ma Ci is a specialty of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. It is also a traditional snack of Fujian people and an offering during sacrifices. After drying in the shade, glutinous rice cake can be steamed, fried, roasted or stir-fried. Mochi is also a famous snack in southern Fujian, among which the one produced in Yingdu, Nan'an is the most famous. Its raw materials are high-quality glutinous rice, lard, sesame, peanut kernels, rock sugar, etc. Mochi is sweet and delicious, and can keep you full after eating it. It has a sweet and smooth taste, and is soft, chewy and slightly icy. The finished product is bright white, smooth, tough and transparent ——Dumplings are commonly eaten in the north <br /> Dumplings are an indispensable festival meal for everyone, regardless of their wealth. As the saying goes, "On October 1st, the winter solstice arrives, and every household eats dumplings." This custom is left behind to commemorate the "medical saint" Zhang Zhongjing who gave out medicine on the winter solstice. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing you can grasp is your own "luck." Unexpected changes in the world may happen at any time.
