天时人事日相催，冬至阳生春又来。”（杜甫《小至》）冬至是冬季的第四个节气，于公历12月21-23日之间交节。此日太阳直射南回归线，地球北半球白天最短、夜晚最长，这以后太阳直射的位置逐渐北移，北半球白天逐渐变长，正所谓“冬至日头升，一天长一针”。古人以阴阳二气的运动理解季节变化，以为“夏尽秋分日，春生冬至时”。民间有“冬至一阳生”的说法，阴阳二气自此开始逆转，生命活动也将趋于活跃。

"The days and people's affairs urge each other on ceaselessly; Winter Solstice arrives and spring follows suit." (Du Fu's "Minor Solstice"). Winter Solstice is the fourth solar term of winter, which occurs between December 21st and 23rd of the Gregorian calendar. On this day, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, resulting in the shortest day and the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. After this day, the position of the sun's direct radiation gradually moves northward, causing the days in the Northern Hemisphere to gradually become longer. This is the saying "Each Winter Solstice day, the sun rises higher, and the daylight grows longer by a thread." Ancient people understood seasonal changes based on the movement of Yin and Yang, believing that "Summer ends and autumn equinox comes, while spring begins at Winter Solstice." There is a folk saying that "Winter Solstice brings the Yang qi to life", meaning that from this day on, the Yin and Yang qi begin to reverse, and life activities will become more vigorous.
