The winter solstice is a special day for Chinese. It represents the longest dark night of the year, is one of the 24 solar terms, and is also a traditional festival. In ancient times, people paid no less attention to the winter solstice than to the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Experts recommend a holiday on the winter solstice
On the day of the winter solstice, the Xi of eating dumplings is known to everyone. Dumplings are an important holiday food, and the Xi of eating dumplings on the winter solstice has many beautiful meanings. Among them, the most important meaning is the alternation of the old and the new, which means that all bad things will pass, and the turning point for better is coming.
Xu Zhiyuan, a well-known writer, suggested that in order for young people to better experience this traditional festival, they should take a day off on the winter solstice. He believes that the holiday season can give young people more time to prepare and enjoy dumplings, and it can also give them a better understanding of the meaning of the festival.
Xu Zhiyuan's suggestion sparked a wide range of discussions. Many people expressed support for his point of view, thinking that it was a good suggestion. However, there are also some who oppose it, arguing that the holiday will affect work and Xi.
In any case, the winter solstice is an important festival. In this festival, we can make dumplings with our families and enjoy this wonderful moment together.
