The winter solstice is one of the four seasons and eight festivals, which is regarded as a major winter festival, and in ancient times there was a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year". Winter solstice customs vary in content or detail depending on the region.
In southern China, there are customs of ancestor worship and feasting on the winter solstice. In northern China, there is a custom of eating dumplings every year on the winter solstice.
Since ancient times, the literati inkers have also written a lot of poems about the winter solstice, let's take a look!
The winter solstice is three
Some ancient Chinese literary works divide the winter solstice into three seasons: "one waits for earthworm knots; two wait for elk horn solution; and three wait for water spring movement." This means that the earthworms in the soil are still curled up on their bodies, and the elk feels that the yin qi gradually recedes and dissolves.
Since the direct point of the sun returns to the north after the winter solstice, the sun's round-trip movement enters a new cycle, the sun's altitude rises from then on, and the day grows day by day, so the spring water in the mountain can flow and warm at this time.

"Winter Solstice"
Don Du Fu
Year to day long for guests,
Suddenly, the poor and the mud killed people.
Jiang Shang described me as an old man,
Celestial customs are self-related.
After the snow of the cane quinoa,
Mingyu came to scatter Zi Chen.
The heart is broken at this time without an inch,
Where to see the three Qins.
"Little to"
The days and hours of personnel are urged day by day,
The winter solstice is coming again.
Embroidered five-grained weak thread,
Blowing six tubes of floating ash.
Shore Rong waits for The General Shu Liu,
The mountain is cold and wants to release the plum.
Clouds and things are not different from each other,
Teach the child and cover the cup in the palm of your hand.

The southern end of the anode pole.

Also fasting at night.
Curtain sinking into the sky,
Lonely lights illuminate the sheets.

I'd rather forget about the old age.
ChuanTu trance,
The drool dried up.

Qingfeng Wind Gao has not resigned.
It's another balance day,
The subline returns from south to north.
