All government members would have a day off on this day. There is such a record in "Book of the Later Han": "Before and after the winter solstice, gentlemen rest themselves and relax, officials stop working and do not attend to government affairs, and choose auspicious days to do things." This means that on this day, court officials from top to bottom would rest, the army would be on standby, the border fortresses would be closed, businesses would stop operating, and relatives and friends would give each other delicious food and visit each other, happily spending a holiday of "resting themselves and relaxing." |
