Winter solstice is one of the 24 solar terms. From ancient times to the present, people say that the winter of solstice is like a year. People pay special attention to the winter solstice and think it is as important as the beginning of the year.
In the pre-Qin period, the winter solstice was the beginning of a year. Every winter solstice, the king no longer asks about state affairs, and people can listen to music at home for five days. In the Han Dynasty, "winter solstice" was called "solstice". Officialdom will hold ceremonies to celebrate festivals and holidays, and folks will pay homage to their parents. In the Tang Dynasty, "Beijing paid the most attention to this festival. Although it is for the poor, it is easier to get new clothes, prepare food and drinks and worship ancestors in a year. "
