The contents of the winter solstice handwritten newspaper are as follows:
The origin of the winter solstice-the winter solstice was the earliest one in 24 solar terms, but most people don't know that the origin of the winter solstice actually came from a national capital planning. As early as more than 3, years ago, Duke Zhou began to use Tugui method to measure the shadow, and measured the position of the world in Luoyi, which was a move of political significance at that time, but it became one of the festivals that affected future generations for thousands of years.
When Duke Zhou went to Luoyang, he measured that Luoyang was in the "world" by Tugui method, and then began to divine the auspicious land of the state. It is recorded in Shangshu Luogu that the Duke of Zhou "looked forward to Luoshi" and made an investigation in several places around Luoyang, and finally determined that Jianshui East, Zhuoshui West and Zhuoshui East were all "only Luoshi" (all good places to build a ancestral temple state). The historical fact that the Duke of Zhou selected the base site of Luoyi through the "Tugui survey" was recorded in ancient books and was regarded as the law of sealing the country and founding the country by later generations.
What is the Winter Solstice? The winter solstice, also known as' one-sun-born', is an important solar term in the China lunar calendar, and it is also a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. The winter solstice is commonly known as "Counting Nine, Winter Festival", "Long Festival" and "Ya Nian". As early as the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,5 years ago, China had observed the sun with Tugui and determined the winter solstice, which was the earliest of the 24 solar terms, and the time was between December 21st and 23rd of the Gregorian calendar every year.
on the winter solstice, the sun moves to 27 degrees of the yellow meridian (the winter solstice point), and the position where the sun shines directly on the ground reaches the southernmost point of the year. At this time, the sun almost shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn (also known as the winter solstice line), and the sun 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. For all parts of the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is also the day with the lowest height of the sun at noon all year round.
As far as Beijing is concerned, the daytime on the winter solstice is only 9 hours and 2 minutes, and the height of the sun at noon is only 26 42'. On the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere gets the least solar radiation, about 5% less than the southern hemisphere. After the winter solstice, the night sky stars are completely replaced by winter stars, and from today on, they will enter the ninth. At this time, the southern hemisphere is in the hot summer.
It is worth noting that around the winter solstice, the Earth is located near the perihelion, and its running speed is slightly faster, which causes the time of the sun in the southern hemisphere to be 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.
What are the traditional diets of the winter solstice? The winter solstice is a good opportunity for health preservation, mainly because "Qi begins at the winter solstice". Because from the beginning of winter, life activities began to turn from decline to prosperity and from static rotation. At this time, scientific health preservation helps to ensure vigorous energy and prevent premature aging, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging life. During the winter solstice, the diet should be diversified, and the grains, fruits, meat and vegetables should be reasonably matched, and high-calcium foods should be appropriately selected.
There are different customs in different places during the winter solstice. Most places in northern China have the custom of eating jiaozi during the winter solstice. After thousands of years of development, the winter solstice has formed a unique seasonal food culture. Eating jiaozi has become the winter solstice custom of most people in China. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the custom of drinking mutton soup on the day of the winter solstice in Tengzhou City, Shandong Province, which means driving away the cold.
The ancients celebrated the Winter Solstice. Although many people don't think it is a festival today, the Winter Festival is one of the "eight festivals of the year" anyway, and foodies will not miss this festival with various winter solstice specialties, such as northern dumplings, Chaoshan glutinous rice balls, southeast mashi, Taizhou Leiyuan, Hefei pumpkin cake, Ningbo sweet potato soup, Tengzhou mutton soup, Jiangnan rice, Suzhou wine making and so on.
