The winter solstice, also known as the southern solstice, the winter festival, the sub-year, etc., has both natural and humanistic connotations, which is not only an important solar term in the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional Chinese folk ancestor worship festival. The winter solstice is one of the four seasons and eight festivals, which is regarded as a big festival in winter, and there is a ** of "the winter solstice is as big as the year" in ancient folk.
Next, let's learn about the origin of the winter solstice with the little lion.
Describe millennial traditions.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people used the Gui table to observe the shadow of the sun, and found and then realized that the solstice of the cathode, the beginning of the yang energy, the solstice of the south of the sun, the solstice of the short day, and the solstice of the long shadow of the sun, so it is called the "winter solstice".
Since the beginning of the winter solstice, we have officially entered the "number nine" day, 1929 does not shoot, 3949 ice walking, 5969, along the river to see the willows, 79 rivers open, ** geese come, 99 plus 19, ploughing cattle everywhere. "Nine peach blossoms bloom", at this time the cold is exhausted, and the cold winter becomes warmer winter.
The ancients divided the winter solstice into three phases: "One is the earthworm knotting;The second waiting for the elk horn solution;Three waiting for the water spring to move. ”
Earthworm knot: Legend has it that the earthworm is a creature that stretches out of yin and yang, at this time although the yang energy has grown, the yin energy is still very strong, and the earthworm in the soil is still curled up in the body;
Elk horn solution: elk and deer in the same family, but the yin and yang are different, the ancients believed that the horns of the elk are born backwards, so it is yin, and the winter solstice is a yang, and the elk feels the yin qi gradually recedes and dissolves the horns;
Water springs: Due to the birth of yang energy, the spring water in the mountains can flow and be warm at this time.
