When is the solstice in winter?

The winter solstice is the 22nd solar term in the "twenty-four solar terms", and the solar meridian reaches 270 degrees. It is held every year on the Gregorian calendar 65438+February 2 1-23.

The winter solstice is actually a 24-solar term. It is one of the 24 solar terms, just like the solstice in summer. However, winter solstice is more widely known than other solar terms, probably because the saying of eating jiaozi in winter solstice is more deeply rooted in people's hearts. The winter solstice is also called the Asian Winter Festival, which is a traditional festival in China since ancient times.

Every place has different ways to celebrate the winter solstice, but the date of welcoming the winter solstice is the same. The second hospital of the city is from 2 1 day to 23/day every year, usually after the arrival of the winter solstice, which means that the coldest time in winter has passed and the weather will begin to rise gradually. Now, the winter solstice is still a relatively dull way to celebrate, but in ancient times, the winter solstice was more important than the Spring Festival. Because the weather before the winter solstice is a period of short days and long nights, the weather after the winter solstice is also called a new beginning, so the winter solstice is also called a good day.
