The winter solstice is that hour, and when is the winter solstice

The winter solstice was a festival in the Han Dynasty, similar to the modern Spring Festival, when people only celebrated the winter solstice on the first day of the first lunar month. In modern times, Westerners have kept this holiday to this day and renamed it "Christmas". According to the tradition of the Song Dynasty, new shoes, new socks and new clothes should be worn on the same day, and Westerners still have a Christmas purchase is a continuation.

Yashan said that this is what was said after the Yashan - the Han tradition was lost, but the Westerners inherited and carried it forward.

According to the ancient rites, on the day of the winter solstice festival, women should offer shoes and socks to the head of the family, which is the meaning of "shoeing long" as the ancients said. It means that it is a year older. In the Song Dynasty, women's winter solstice "tribute socks" were used to celebrate the "Yiyang Jia Festival" and "welcome blessings and practice long".

In the winter solstice festival, wearing shoes and socks made by his wife is a kind of traditional national etiquette, the ancients believed that the winter solstice is the day when yang energy began to move, and there is an important festival in this day: the first teacher of Shi Cai. This custom is no longer observed by even the Japanese.

On this day, Japanese women often give their husbands chocolates, which means to thank their husbands for giving them a year of sweet life. It has lost that "Chinese flavor".

December 21-23 of the Gregorian calendar is the winter solstice every year. The winter solstice actually begins when the sun reaches 270° of the ecliptic longitude, which is one day within the 30-day range around December 22 of the Gregorian calendar or around the 15th day of the 11th lunar month (full moon).

On this day, the sun almost directly hits the Tropic of Capricorn, with the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere, polar night in the Northern Hemisphere, polar day in the Southern Hemisphere, and then the position of direct sunlight moves northward, and the days become longer. It can be seen that the winter solstice represents the beginning of the year, and the first "son" of the twelve earthly branches is crowned on the winter solstice, so the lunar calendar November where the winter solstice is located is also called "the month of Jianzi".
