The winter solstice is a traditional festival with a long history, also known as the winter festival, which is as long as New Year's Day, New Year's Day and New Year's Day. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were activities of offering sacrifices to gods to protect the country and defend the country.

From the ruling and opposition parties to the people, people wear new clothes, hold banquets, worship their ancestors and predict the future.

Count nine to get rid of a cold.

According to the traditional calendar, every nine days from the winter solstice is called a "nine", with a total of * * * 998 1 day, which is what we call nine cold days, which is the coldest day of the year. Count to nine cold, peach blossoms open at nine o'clock, which is the spring when the earth warms up and the geese return to the south.

In China, there is a folk custom of posting "Cold Map in September and September" on the solstice in winter. The cold terrain map is a "calendar" that records the sunny weather after entering the ninth year. It is called the "Cold Current Map of 1999" because it starts from the day of winter solstice, takes nine days as a unit, and even counts as nine days. After describing the last stroke, that is, when spring returns to the earth, people place their hopes on it to predict the abundance and shortage in the coming year.

On the winter solstice of the lunar calendar every year, jiaozi is an indispensable holiday feast in the north. As the saying goes: "On October 1st, when the solstice of winter comes, every family eats jiaozi." On the day of saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year, the best fillings in jiaozi are mutton, beef, celery and carrots rich in fiber.

In the south, "every family beats rice to make dumplings, knowing that it is the day from winter to the sun", and the custom of eating dumplings from winter to the sun is particularly popular. It means "going around to the dead" to celebrate "Yang Sheng". The solstice in winter was the first year of the year in ancient times, so there is a saying that "eating glutinous rice balls is one year older".
