The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms(节气). The Winter Solstice(冬至) is the 22nd solar term of the year. It usually falls on December 21st, 22nd or 23rd.
On the Winter Solstice, the northern hemisphere(半球) experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. It also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year.
There was a saying in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as important as the Spring Festival.” The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD). On this day, both officials and common people would have a rest.
