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." "(See Gu Lu's "Qing Jia Lu" Volume 11). Since the Republic of China, the traditional customs of celebrating winter seem to have a tendency to be simplified. However, some activities have gradually become fixed, formalized, and more universal. For example, winter schools and apprenticeships are all held in winter.What’s interesting about winter swimming is that there are now innovative ways to celebrate the Beginning of Winter. In Harbin, on the Beginning of Winter, athletes from the Heilongjiang Province Winter Swimming Association cross the Songhua River to welcome the arrival of winter in this way. For winter swimming enthusiasts, they must have a certain foundation and proceed step by step. They should insist on going into the water every day when the weather is warm and continue exercising. In addition, you should choose a place for winter swimming where you are familiar with the water and the shore. If you are not familiar with the conditions in the water and the shore, do not go into the water easily to avoid accidents. Also, travel in groups so you can take care of each other. In the old days, people would hold activities to worship their ancestors and offer sacrifices to heaven on the day of the Beginning of Winter. Even the busiest farmers have to take a day off at home, slaughter chickens and sheep, and prepare seasonal delicacies. On the one hand, they offer sacrifices to their ancestors to fulfill their obligations and responsibilities as descendants; on the other hand, they offer sacrifices to the heavens, thank God for the good harvest and pray for good weather in the coming year; and the wine and food after the sacrificial ceremony can also allow farmers to reward themselves after a year of hard work.
