Dongzhi Festival, also known as Nichinan Solstice, Winter Festival, and Asian Sui, has two connotations of nature and humanity. It is not only an important solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, but also a traditional Chinese folk ancestor worship festival. The winter solstice is one of the four o’clock and eight festivals. It is regarded as a big winter festival. In ancient people, there was a saying that “winter solstice is as big as a year”. The customs of the winter solstice have differences in content or details due to different regions.
