Who can tell me (what does it mean to celebrate the New Year in winter)

"Celebrating the New Year in winter" means that the solstice in winter (also called "Winter Festival") is bigger than the Spring Festival. The winter solstice is the last solar term of the Lunar New Year and a grand festival in ancient China. The ancients often said that the winter solstice is the beginning of a year, and people must make full preparations at the beginning of the next year's production. By the solstice of winter, although it is still in the cold season, spring is not far away. At this time, people far away from home will go home for the winter solstice, which shows that they will have a home at the end of the year. On the solstice of winter, every family will eat glutinous rice balls (there are also many places that choose to make up on the solstice of winter) and pray for family reunion and good health.
