The winter solstice is a traditional folk festival in China, also known as the Winter Festival, the New Year's Eve Festival and the Long Day Festival. It has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional folk festival in China.
On the winter solstice, the solar meridian reaches 270, and the festival is held on the Gregorian calendar1February 2 1-23 every year. The winter solstice is one of the eight festivals of the year. In ancient times, there was a custom of worshipping God and ancestors in the "eight festivals". The winter solstice is regarded as a big holiday in winter, and there is a folk saying that the winter solstice is as big as a year, so the ancients called it "sub-year" or "off-year".
In some coastal areas of southern China, the traditional custom of ancestor worship in the winter solstice is still continuing. In some areas of northern China, it is a custom to eat jiaozi on the winter solstice every year.
The winter solstice marks that the height of the sun in the northern hemisphere is the smallest and the daytime is the shortest, but the temperature on the winter solstice is not the lowest. On the winter solstice, the sun shines directly on the ground and reaches the southernmost point of the year. The sun almost shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn (also known as the winter solstice line), and the sunlight is most inclined to the northern hemisphere. Therefore, the winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in all parts of the northern hemisphere, and the farther north it is, the shorter the day is.
It is worth noting that around the winter solstice, the earth is located near the perihelion, and its running speed is slightly faster, which results in that the time of direct sunlight in the southern hemisphere is about 8 days shorter than that in the northern hemisphere in a year, so the winter in the northern hemisphere is slightly shorter than that in summer.
