冬至到了，漢代以冬至為“冬節(jié)”，官府要舉行祝賀儀式稱為“賀冬”，官方例行放假，官場流行互賀的“拜冬”禮俗。《后漢書》中有這樣的記載：“冬至前后，君子安身靜體，百官絕事，不聽政，擇吉辰而后省事。”所以這天朝廷上下要放假休息，軍隊(duì)待命，邊塞閉關(guān)，商旅停業(yè)，親朋各以美食相贈，相互拜訪，歡樂地過一個(gè)“安身靜體”的節(jié)日。魏晉六朝時(shí)，冬至稱為“亞歲”，民眾要向父母長輩拜節(jié);宋朝以后，冬至逐漸成為祭祀祖先和神靈的節(jié)慶活動(dòng)。
唐、宋時(shí)期，冬至是祭天祀祖的日子，皇帝在這天要到郊外舉行祭天大典，百姓在這一天要向父母尊長祭拜。明、清兩代，皇帝均有祭天大典，謂之“冬至郊天”。宮內(nèi)有百官向皇帝呈遞賀表的儀式，而且還要互相投刺祝賀，就像元旦一樣。
冬至節(jié)亦稱冬節(jié)、交冬。它既是二十四節(jié)氣之一，是中國的一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，曾有“冬至大如年”的說法。冬至進(jìn)補(bǔ)，是我國傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)俗，俗語云：三九補(bǔ)一冬，來年無病痛。夏養(yǎng)三伏，冬補(bǔ)三九。冬至補(bǔ)一補(bǔ),一年精氣足。
