The winter solstice, also known as the Southern Solstice, Winter Festival, Yasui, etc., has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional ancestor worship festival among Chinese people.
The winter solstice is one of the four seasons and eight festivals, and is regarded as a major festival in winter. In ancient times, there was a saying among the people that “the winter solstice is as big as the new year.” In southern China, there is a custom of worshiping ancestors and feasting during the Winter Solstice. In northern China, there is a custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice every year.
