The Winter Solstice is commonly known as the "Winter Festival" and "Little New Year". As the last solar term ending with the Winter Solstice, it is of great significance, and the time point is something that many people pay attention to. So, when is the Winter Solstice in 2021? What are the luck-bringing customs during the Winter Solstice? The Lesser Cold in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar has been considered stronger than the Greater Cold since ancient times. If you want to know more about the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021, please follow Mr. Shui Mo.What time is the winter solstice in 2021?The winter solstice of the Year of the Ox 2021 is at 18:02:12 on December 21. This is an unlucky time of the day, so you must be extra careful and bring good luck in time.The winter solstice in 2021 Xinchou Year belongs to the You hour: 17:00-18:59. The conflicting zodiac sign is the Rabbit, and the evil direction is the East. It will be very bad on this day and everything will be unfavorable. It was discovered in ancient times that the altitude of the sun at noon is different at different times of the year, and the length of the shadow cast on the gnomon will also change accordingly. The day with the longest shadow in the year is the winter solstice. Because the sun's tropical period is not exactly a multiple of the Earth's day and night period, a tropical year is approximately 365.2422 days. However, only the data at noon is valid in the gnomon shadow measurement method. The sun does not necessarily reach the winter solstice (the southernmost declination) at exactly noon. This error is inevitable and difficult to measure. What are the luck-bringing customs during the Winter Solstice?1. Worship your ancestors for prosperity:As early as the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor chose the winter solstice to hold suburban sacrificial ceremonies. Because the day is yang and the night is yin, the days gradually become longer after the winter solstice and the yang energy flourishes, making it the best time to offer sacrifices to heaven. On the day of the winter solstice, people worship their ancestors and pray for the prosperity of their descendants. 2. Buy new shoes and new clothes to welcome good luck: The Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year. Children who have not been home for a long time due to the epidemic may wish to take their parents out for a walk on this day. Especially daughters-in-law who usually have a bad relationship with their mother-in-law should use this day to give their parents-in-law a pair of new shoes or new clothes, which will help improve the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, promote family harmony, and help smooth your fortune. 3. Eat glutinous rice balls for a happy and fulfilling life: To change your luck on the winter solstice, the first thing to do is to eat rice dumplings. Red dumplings represent gold, which can attract romance and popularity; white dumplings represent silver, which can attract wealth and prosper your career. At least one red glutinous rice ball and one white glutinous rice ball. Glutinous rice balls symbolize reunion and perfection, and can make your last period of the Year of the Ox more fulfilling and satisfying. 4. Eating wontons increases wisdom: Wontons represent the interaction between heaven and earth, when yin and yang alternate in a chaotic state. All kinds of bad luck can be successfully replaced and all kinds of new energy can be welcomed. For some students who don't like studying and have poor academic performance, they can eat a bowl of wontons on the day of the winter solstice, which represents the "beginning of chaos" and increases wisdom. 5. Eating dumplings can bring wealth: Dumplings are shaped like ingots, and eating dumplings symbolizes the influx of wealth. Family members can also put coins into the dumplings they make. Eating dumplings is also in line with the Chinese stomach and eating habits, and is in line with the health-preserving principles of "eating and drinking in moderation", "being careful with the five flavors", and "being in harmony with the art of numerology". Although your life's destiny is already determined, you can understand and grasp your future fortune in advance. Click on the [Premium Calculation] below to calculate your latest fortune! |
