    The winter solstice (December 22) is the shortest day of the year.

    Reason: Because the sun moves back and forth between the Tropic of Cancer (23 degrees 26 minutes north and south), when it is winter in the southern hemisphere, the sun shines directly on the northern hemisphere and slowly moves towards the Tropic of Cancer, and when the southern hemisphere reaches the Tropic of Cancer on the day of the winter solstice.

    At this time, it can be understood that the sun is farthest from the southern hemisphere, that is, the sunshine time is short, the day is short, after that, the sun moves from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun is getting closer and closer to them, and the daylight time is getting longer and longer, so the winter solstice day is the shortest. In the same way, the summer solstice has the longest days and the shortest nights.

    The shortest daylight hours of the year are on the winter solstice.

    The winter solstice is the most important of the 24 solar terms. According to the Gregorian calendar, the winter solstice festival is generally on December 21-23 every year (this year is 18:44 on the 21st), this day the sun runs to the ecliptic longitude of 270 degrees, the southernmost latitude, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, the northern hemisphere has the shortest day, the longest night (within the Arctic Circle, 24 hours are nights), the height of the sun at noon is also the lowest, such as in Beijing, the sun height is only 26 ° 42, because the shadow of the noon of this day is the longest, so it is also called "long solstice".

    Ancient China attached great importance to the winter solstice, and stipulated that the month with the winter solstice was the "sub-month", which was the first of the twelve earthly branches. The winter solstice is also a traditional festival, commonly known as the "Winter Festival", "Long Solstice Festival" and so on. Starting from the winter solstice, the days will gradually become longer, and the ancients believed that this is "the solstice of the cathode, the beginning of yang energy", so the winter solstice is regarded as the real starting point of the annual cycle, the natural luck cycle, and the growth cycle of all things.

    In the hexagram representing the winter solstice, the bottom one of the six yin lines that was originally all yin has become yang, so the winter solstice is also called "one yang sheng".
