Because on the day of winter solstice, the nights begin to get longer, the days begin to get shorter, and the nights are cloudy, so Yin Qi begins to flourish, and this day is the day when Yin Qi prospers.
Beginning of winter means that it has entered winter, and the snowy day is coming, so winter is the heaviest day of yin.
We need to eat jiaozi in the winter solstice in the northeast and glutinous rice balls in the south. Different areas will have different customs, so we need to start preparing cotton-padded jackets and winter supplies.
In Zhouyi, the winter solstice is still a good day for self-cultivation, because after the winter solstice, internal heat will lurk, and people without internal heat will be much better for the liver.
Therefore, on the solstice of winter, you can eat more foods beneficial to the kidneys and liver for dietotherapy to regulate your body.
According to the festival, Ghost Festival should be a day full of yin, and it has been the most taboo day since ancient times.
There are three ghost festivals in China, one is Tomb-Sweeping Day, the other is Cold Food Festival, and the other is Ghost Festival, which is also the Central Plains Festival. But we say that a day full of yin is Halloween.
In ancient society, there is a legend that from the first day of the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell will be opened so that dead ghosts can go to earth to meet their relatives.
In the calendar of our country, it is recorded that the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the Mid-Yuan Festival and the Ghost Festival. So on this day, everyone will be shy, will go home as soon as possible, and will try not to let the children go out.
In ancient times, Ghost Festival was a very grand festival. There are many sacrificial activities on this day, and ordinary people themselves will burn paper money, worship and light river lanterns in private.
Actually, I just want to be practical. Worship on Halloween night, so try not to go out at night, and it is best not to let the children go out. Although superstitious, I try to avoid letting children see it. This day is still full of yin.
