<正>People in many ancient cultures believed that the Sun God became pale and frail1during winter and that is why we had the winter solstice2. Evergreen trees reminded them of the plants that would grow once more, when the Sun God recovered3.在许多古代文化中,人们相信太阳神在冬天变得苍白和虚弱,这就是为什么我们有冬至节气的原因。常绿的树木会让人们想起太阳神复苏后还会再次生长的植物。
