Congratz to my sister who passed her Driving Test today. (: Another driver in my family.
Formerly, China was an agrarian country, namely most of its population are farmers. When they planted agricultural crops, they ought to take into account and understand the climate change. Thereby they could understand when they should plant a type of agricultural plant, so that it could produce good harvest.
In the past, people in China divided 1 year into 24 節氣 Jie Qi (a day stating a part of 24 parts of Solar Year in Chinese calendar /Imlek). Based on each Jie Qi, to plant a type of agricultural crops, so that such crops could grow luxuriantly, then it produced produces. Then, farmers’ family greatly prioritized this Jie Qi.
The origin of 冬至 Dong Zhi {Hok Kian =Tang Cueh, the 22 nd of 24 Jie Qi. Literal meaning = the peak of Winter} was as follows:
An early part of half month was 大雪 Da Xue (the 21 st of 24 Jie Qi, literal meaning = Big Snow), then the last past of half month was 小寒 Xiao Han (the 23 rd of 24 Jie Qi, literal meaning = Small/Light Cold). Dong Zhi Day fell on the 11 th month of Chinese calendar (Imlek), but there was no definite date on it. Sometimes fell in the 10 first days in the 11 th month of Chinese calendar, sometimes on the last 10 days in this 11 th month (Chinese calendar). But based on calculation of almanac, Dong Zhi was usually fell on the 22 nd day or the 23 rd day of December Anno Domini.
Based on explanation of Astronomy, the revolution of Sun when it reached this Dong Zhi period, accidentally passed 冬至點 Dong Zhi Dian (Peak Point of Winter). Then, Northern Hemisphere & Southern Hemisphere had a very great different; in Northern Hemisphere daylight was shorter than nighttime, while in the Southern Hemisphere daylight was longer than night.
There was an ancient Chinese Book entitles 周禮 Zhou Li , whose contents were written: [at the time of Dong Zhi; daylight = 40 Lou Khe, nighttime = 60 Lou Khe , while at the time of 夏至 Xia Zhi (Peak of Suimmer), 春分 Chun Fen (Spring), 秋分 Qiu Fen (autumn), are otherwise, namely daylight = nighttime = 50 Lou Khe ].
In the past, Lou Khe counted his time by using a device (Klepsidra = a time measuring tool pursuant to the fall of the flow of water) that was perhaps invested by Emperor 黃帝 Huang Di .
Lou Khe was to use a copper kettle containing with water, in the bottom was made a tiny hole, when in the kettle was put an arrow, on the arrow was engraved (cut) number of degree; flowing water was getting lower and lower, number of degree also decreased, on the arrow amounting to 100 Khe, water clock precisely indicated 1 period of daylight and & nighttime, the time is so accurate.
1 (one) Khe is equal to 15 minutes in current time. In the past, 1 (one) Khe was 14 minutes and 24 second. It is the difference between Solar Calendar (Christian Calendar) and Chinese Calendar/Imlek (Chinese traditional calendar that sometime is also called Farmer’s Calendar).
Most of employees & students use Christian Calendar, only farmers who still use Chinese calendar. But, Chinese people in performing marriage ceremony or mourning ceremony, still often seek for Good Day (Hari Baik) of Chinese calendar.
In this Dong Zhi day, Chinese people make onde-onde (round fried cake made of glutinous rice with/without stuffing inside which is eaten/ served with dressing) for worshipping to the ancestors. In addition to, considering after eating onde-onde, meaning that to have included passing 1 year, and everyone has had age for 1 year.
