The night before winter solstice is called "winter solstice night".

According to the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the winter solstice has the image of "One Yang is born", so it is also called "One Yang Festival".

According to Xiongxian Annals in the early years of the Republic of China, traditional China people would erect eight-foot table trees in winter solstice to test the flood and drought in the coming year. There was also a criterion for judging flood and drought in the Han Dynasty, that is, "water comes when you enter, and drought comes when you retreat."

In addition, China people will observe the changes of clouds and gases at sunrise and sunset from winter to day, and judge the weather during the Spring Festival by predicting the wind, rain and sunshine. Zhejiang agricultural proverb says: "The winter solstice is sunny and the year is rotten, and the winter solstice is sunny and the New Year is sloppy." It means that there will be no rain and snow on the solstice in winter, but it will rain and snow in the Spring Festival, making the road slippery and muddy; or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium
