Release Date:2022-12-22 word size

The Winter Solstice, also known as the South Solstice, Winter Festival, and Asian New Year, combines two major connotations of nature and culture. It is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional Chinese folk festival. The Winter Solstice is one of the four seasons and eight seasons, and is considered a major holiday in winter. In ancient times, there was a saying in folk culture that "the Winter Solstice is as big as the year". The winter solstice customs vary in content or details due to regional differences. In southern China, there is a custom of ancestor worship and feasting during the winter solstice. In northern China, it is customary to eat dumplings on the winter solstice every year.
