What are the customs in Fuzhou from winter solstice?

Winter solstice is one of the 24 solar terms, and it is usually designated as a winter festival. On the solstice of winter, people in Fuzhou rub pills. The pill rubbing ceremony was quite lively. S9t

The night before the winter solstice, the whole family sat around the round table, rubbing pills and singing. The lyrics contain the meaning of prolonging life: "It's silly when you rub it, and it gets taller every year;" Adults live longer, children are older; Red water party chrysanthemum, brothers and brothers. " Rub out small powder pills, cook small powder pills, and adjust sugar to eat; After the big powder pill is cooked, it is eaten in the bean powder mixed with sugar, which is called "eating". "Rub pills" means reunion. In the past, on the eve of this festival, people gathered in the hall and rubbed rice around the table. Grind glutinous rice into semi-dry, knead it into balls, cook it in a pot, pick it up and stick it with bean jelly. There are several red oranges, a bunch of red bamboo sticks, a pair of paper flowers, clay sculptures of boys and girls (children) and bottles of red chrysanthemums on the desk. S9t

When rubbing, the children burn incense and light candles, and sing children's songs in Fuzhou dialect: "Rub and rub, rely on milk, hurt my brother, rely on my brother to beg for a wife, and rely on my brother to be single. My sister-in-law is happy (pregnant) and so are my parents. When the baby festival (falling) falls, Yi Ge will be Lang (dad) immediately. " Rubbing the winter solstice means praying for happiness. That night, I had breakfast at the Winter Solstice Hotel in Rosty Yi.
