送君 See Off My Beloved - 黄丽卿 Irene Huang ☼ 冬至快乐！Happy Winter Solstice 2010 ☼

The tune might not have anything to do with Winter Solstice Festival that most of Chinese descent celebrates. However, it's an remade rendition from an old tune that it is so Chinese, to me. I would play this type of songs within the old time Chinese celebration Festivals seasons, just because I thought it is appropriately fit.

Music accompanied by The Stylers 时代乐队伴奏。

The Winter Solstice Festival or The Extreme of Winter (Chinese and Japanese: 冬至; Korean: 동지; Vietnamese: Đông chí) (Pinyin: Dōng Zhì), (Rōmaji: Tōji), (Romaja:Dongji) is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians during the DongZhi solar term on or around December 21 when sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest; i.e., on the first day of the DongZhi solar term. The origins of this festival can be traced back to the yin and yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the cosmos. After this celebration, there will be days with longer daylight hours and therefore an increase in positive energy flowing in. The philosophical significance of this is symbolized by the I Ching hexagram fù (復, "Returning"). Traditionally, the DongZhi Festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get-togethers (especially in the southern parts of China and in Chinese communities overseas) is the making and eating of TangYuan (湯圓, as pronounced in Cantonese; Mandarin Pinyin: Tāng Yuán) or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize reunion. In Korea, similar balls of glutinous rice (Korean: 새알심) , is prepared in a traditional porridge made with sweet red bean (Korean: 팥죽)(English pronunciation:Patjook). Patjook was believed to have a special power and sprayed around houses on winter solstice to repel sinister spirits. This practice was based on a traditional folk tale, in which the ghost of a man that used to hate patjook comes haunting innocent villagers on the winter solstice.
