What does a winter solstice as big as a year mean? Analysis of the reasons why the winter solstice is as big as a year.

In ancient times, "the winter solstice lasted more than a year", and the Zhou calendar was popular in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Among them, the current 1 1 month is the first month, which clearly stipulates that the day before the winter solstice is the end of the year, which is now New Year's Eve. The solstice in winter is the day of Spring Festival. In the Han Dynasty, even though there is a difference between the winter solstice and the Spring Festival, the winter solstice is still an important festival, with five-day holidays and various celebrations, as lively as the Spring Festival.

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the winter solstice was as important as the beginning of the year. In the Tang dynasty, there was a seven-day holiday on the winter solstice (exactly the same as the Spring Festival now), and the festival was similar to the Spring Festival. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that Lu clearly put forward that "winter is as big as a year" that winter was paid attention to for the last time. At present, people feel nothing about the winter solstice, let alone celebrate it, and are basically absent.
