Only through sexual intercourse can men and women reproduce, as the saying goes, "A single yin cannot produce life, a single yang cannot grow." However, sexual intercourse between men and women must be at the right time to achieve the harmony of yin and yang. Otherwise, the imbalance of yin and yang will not only not be conducive to the reproduction of offspring, but will also give rise to many disasters. Therefore, men and women must also observe taboos regarding yin and yang and time when having sexual intercourse. In ancient times, people believed that the yang energy was still weak at the winter solstice and the yin energy was still weak at the summer solstice, like sprouting plants, which were easily damaged, and the yin and yang could not be harmonized. Although it refers to the yin and yang in nature, it is also feared that they would infect the blood, qi and spirit of men and women. At this time, sexual intercourse might not be in accordance with the solar terms and lose the essence and blood, leading to fatigue and bringing disaster.You cannot go back to your parents’ home around the winter solstice.In some cities in northern my country, it is believed that one cannot return to one’s parents’ home during the winter solstice. This is due to the overly traditional customs and the feudal ethics of "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" that restrict daughters-in-law. In the past, daughters-in-law would return to their parents' home after the autumn harvest, so there was a custom of returning to their husband's home during the winter solstice. Although it would be very difficult to have freedom if we still have to strictly abide by traditional customs in modern society, if family members are particularly concerned about these traditional customs, as the younger generations it is best for us to discuss it with the family members in a friendly manner. The Winter Solstice is a festival of reunion and we must not lose harmony with our family members because of it.You can’t get married on the Winter Solstice.Generally speaking, it is not suitable to get married before or after the solar terms. The ancients believed that the day before the four solstices and four solstices should be avoided when getting married. That is, the day before the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Winter and the Vernal Equinox, Autumnal Equinox, Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice cannot be used as the day because the energy field of the universe is in a chaotic state. Traditional customs believe that these are the four absolute days and the four separation days and it is unlucky to get married at these times. Usually we are very cautious in choosing an auspicious day for marriage, so the editor recommends that you avoid the winter solstice and choose another day, so that the marriage can have a better start that everyone can feel at ease and satisfied with.You can’t travel far during the winter solstice.In the legend of the Winter Solstice, it’s not that you can’t go out, but that you can’t travel far. Because the day is the shortest on the winter solstice, there is a legend that this day is when the heavenly dog comes to the human world to look for an incarnation. So not only should you not travel far, you should also not walk around after dark. It is also said that when Pangu created the world, it was the winter solstice. At this time, because the sky had just been opened, all evil was at its root, and the world was wandering.
