Avoid travelingAfter the winter solstice, the days begin to get longer and the Yang energy begins to be generated, so you need to rest and recuperate. That’s why there is a saying that you should not travel during the winter solstice. 2. Avoid no rain In Hubei area, it is taboo to have no rain during the winter solstice. If it doesn’t rain on the winter solstice, the weather will get colder early next year. There is a proverb: "If there is no rain at the beginning of winter, watch the winter solstice; if there is no rain at the winter solstice, the winter will be sunny." 3. Avoid swearing In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, people are forbidden to curse or quarrel on the Winter Solstice. They are also not allowed to say unlucky words, such as "death", "illness", "injury", etc., otherwise they will bring bad luck. 4. Avoid sweeping the floor In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, people sweep the floors inside and outside the house the night before the winter solstice, which is called "sweeping the floor of the previous year." However, they cannot sweep the floor on the winter solstice, otherwise the good fortune will be swept away. 5. Avoid staying up late In Huzhou area, it is taboo for the elderly and children to go to bed late on the winter solstice. Locals believe that the yin energy is the heaviest on the night of the winter solstice, while the elderly and children lack yang energy, so they must go to bed early to avoid it. 6. Avoid going back to your mother’s home There is a saying among the people that "If you don't celebrate the winter solstice, your father-in-law will die." On the winter solstice, married women cannot go back to their parents' home for dinner and must go back to their husband's home, otherwise it will be unlucky for their father-in-law. 7. Avoid eating dumplings In Henan Province, people avoid eating dumplings during the winter solstice, as otherwise their ears will freeze off and it will be bad for the harvest. There is a proverb: "If you don't eat dumplings during the winter solstice, there will be no wind to thresh the crops." 8.
