Today's winter solstice, I should eat dumplings as usual, but this duty, that duty, I can go home to eat at noon. Think about a person who should live well, take care of his mood, take care of his stomach, and be worthy of the breadth and profundity of thousands of years of culture. A person also has to make dumplings, otherwise how is it good to have frozen ears, hehe!
The Winter Solstice Festival embodies the wisdom of the ancestors. The Winter Solstice Festival is one of the earliest of the 24 solar terms, and the winter solstice was determined by using Tugui to observe the sun in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The legend of eating dumplings on the Winter Solstice Festival was invented by Zhang Zhongjing to treat frostbitten people, which contains the compassion and kindness of traditional Chinese culture.
In the north, the winter solstice is not just a solar term, the winter solstice is as big as a year, and the folk have made it a festival. In the coldest season, it is wrapped in delicious dumplings.
Today, the sun is almost straight over the Tropic of Capricorn, and the day is almost the shortest day of the year. As the old saying goes: after eating the winter solstice meal, a day grows a line. It is the extra time for a woman to spin one more thread during the day, according to my grandmother, it is to pull the thread from the spindle and slowly stretch her arms so long, I compared it to about a meter long, so this is just a metaphor for the gradual lengthening of the day, not a precise number. Modern scientific measurements show that the average daily growth time is about one minute, and it may actually be affected by climate change, etc., I looked it up, and tomorrow sunrise to sunset will be one minute less than today. It seems that the shortest day on the winter solstice is not absolutely accurate.
The winter solstice begins to count nine, seventy-nine ** river to see the willows, ninety-nine ploughing cattle everywhere.
The extremes of things must be reversed, it is in line with the Tao, the winter solstice is coming again, it is really the winter solstice, will spring be far away?
