The winter solstice, also known as the sun south solstice, the winter festival, the sub-year, etc., has both natural and humanistic connotations, which is not only an important festival in the twenty-four solar terms, but also a traditional ancestor worship festival in Chinese folk. 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.

The winter solstice is an auspicious day, as the Book of Han says: "The winter solstice is full of yang, and the king is long, so he is congratulated." "After the winter solstice, the days are getting longer and longer, and the sun rises, which is the beginning of a round-trip cycle of direct sun points, which should be celebrated."

On the day of the winter solstice, although the sun is low and the days are short, meteorologically, the temperature of the winter solstice is not the lowest. In fact, due to the "accumulated heat" on the surface, it is usually not very cold before the winter solstice, and the real cold is after the winter solstice. Due to the huge difference in climate across the country, this climatic winter is obviously late for most parts of the country. The solstice of the winter solstice marks the imminent entry into the cold season, and the folk begin to "count nine" to calculate the cold day (folk proverb: "The summer solstice three Geng into the ambush, the winter solstice every day number nine).
