Ancestral spirits abound. Which country celebrates the arrival of winter during Dongzhi?
Answer China
Dongzhi literally means "the arrival of winter" in Chinese. Falling on the shortest day of the year (aka Winter Solstice), the traditional holiday is celebrated with ancestral worship, the eating of a special meal, including fatty dumplings and warming herbs, like garlic and ginger. Such herbs provide high Yang energy, something the Chinese believe this time of year is low on.
