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".
