The origin of winter solstice:
Winter solstice is the earliest of the 24 solar terms, but most people don't know that the origin of winter solstice actually comes from the planning of a national capital. As early as more than 3,000 years ago, Duke Zhou began to measure the shadow with the method of soil rules and measure the position of the world in Luoyi, which was a move of political significance at that time, but it became one of the festivals that affected future generations for thousands of years.
When Duke Zhou arrived in Luoyang, he found that Luoyang was "in the world" by the method of returning to the soil, and then began to divine the Shangshu Luogu, which recorded Duke Zhou's "looking forward to Luoyi", and made an investigation around Luoyang, and finally determined that Jianshui East, Zhuoshui West and Zhuoshui East were "only Luoyi". The historical fact that the Duke of Zhou chose the base site of Luoyi through the "investigation of returning to the land" was recorded in ancient books and was regarded as the law of sealing the country by later generations.
