Welcoming Winter The Beginning of Winter, Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer and Beginning of Autumn are collectively known as the Four Beginnings. It was an important festival in ancient society. On this day, the emperor would lead civil and military officials to the northern suburbs of the capital to set up an altar for sacrifice. In ancient times, on this day, the emperor would go out of the city to welcome the winter, and there was a system of giving winter clothes to his ministers and providing relief to the orphans and widows. 2. Burning incense: When the autumn grain is stored in the warehouse at the beginning of winter, this season becomes the active season for the Eight Banners of Manchu and Eight Banners of Han army to burn incense and worship their ancestors. The sacrifice of the Han Eight Banners is called "burning flag incense and dancing to the tiger god", while that of the Manchu Eight Banners is called "burning meat incense". 3. Eating dumplings: The word "dumplings" comes from the saying "the time of Jiaozi". The 30th day of the lunar new year is the transition between the old year and the new year, and the beginning of winter is the transition between autumn and winter, so dumplings must be eaten at the time of "Jiaozi". 4. Drink mutton soup In Tengzhou, Shandong, there is a custom of drinking mutton soup during the Beginning of Winter. In cold weather, drinking a bowl of steaming mutton soup is definitely a treat. Moreover, mutton contains a large amount of fat, protein and rich calories, which is excellent in keeping out the cold. 5. Celebrating Winter Celebrating Winter is also called "Baidong", a custom that has existed since the Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cui Ding's "Monthly Orders for Four Classes of People" stated: "On the day of the winter solstice, people offer wine and food, congratulate the emperor, teachers, and elders, just like on a normal day." In the Song Dynasty, on this day, people would change into new clothes and celebrate, just like on New Year's Day. In the Qing Dynasty, "the winter solstice is the day of the winter solstice. The scholars and officials would pay their respects to their elders and visit each other. The common people, both men and women, would also change into fresh clothes and greet each other. This was called "winter solstice." ” |
