What is the significance of the Winter Solstice

Visiting graves to worship

1. In ancient times, the Winter Solstice was one of the important sacrificial festivals. Nowadays, many places still visit graves and offer sacrifices on the Winter Solstice. Generally speaking, the time for winter solstice sacrifices should be early rather than late, and most people will visit the graves to offer sacrifices on the winter solstice day.
2. The specific time for worship on the Winter Solstice is generally between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., because this is the time when the Yang energy is relatively strong in the day.
3. When offering sacrifices at the Winter Solstice, one should dress neatly and simply, and avoid wearing anything too bright or revealing. In addition, because the yin energy is heavier when visiting graves during the winter solstice, it is recommended that children and people with fragile bodies wear red to ward off evil spirits, such as red underwear, red socks, red rope accessories, etc.

Important Events

1. It is not suitable to get married during the winter solstice. According to folk sayings, the aura is in a chaotic state before and after the winter solstice, so this is not a good time to get married.
2. It is not suitable to move during the winter solstice, because with the arrival of the winter solstice, the coldest period of the nine cold days will begin. From the perspective of Feng Shui, a cold atmosphere will destroy the prosperity of the home.
3. There is also a folk saying that you cannot go back to your parents’ home on the Winter Solstice. It is said that going back to your parents’ home on this day will be very unlucky for your father-in-law. Although everyone thinks this is a rather feudal idea, no one dares to offend it intentionally.
