20 19 lunar winter.

This year's winter solstice is unusual. On the tenth day of the winter month, the rural elderly summed up two characteristics, namely: this year's winter solstice handed over early, belonging to the early winter solstice; The winter solstice is at the beginning of the month, so don't worry.

1, this year's winter solstice is handed over early, belonging to the early winter solstice.

Because there is a leap month in the lunar calendar, the handover time of the winter solstice every year is not fixed, but it must be in the lunar calendar 1 1 month, but the specific time is different. Some years are at the beginning of the month, some years are in the middle of the month and some years are at the end of the month. This year's winter solstice is handed over on February 22nd of 12, and the 10th day of November in the lunar calendar, which obviously belongs to the early winter solstice and also belongs to the handover at the beginning of the month.

The winter solstice is at the beginning of the month.

This proverb means that if the winter solstice is handed over at the beginning of the month, don't worry even if there is no quilt in winter, which means that winter is not too cold. In fact, this sentence is similar to the previous one.

Because the arrival of the winter solstice is also the beginning of the number nine, the early handover of the winter solstice means that the number nine is also early, and the solar terms of severe cold and slight cold will be handed over in advance, so that the Spring Festival can avoid the 3949 and slight cold and severe cold, and it will not be too cold during the Spring Festival, but it will be relatively warmer.

On the winter solstice, northerners eat jiaozi and southerners eat glutinous rice balls, which is the most popular traditional custom in the south of the Yangtze River. According to historical records, as early as the Song Dynasty, there was a custom of wrapping jiaozi in the winter solstice, also called jiaozi, and jiaozi, which was eaten on the day of the winter solstice, was also called jiaozi. Because jiaozi is round, "round" symbolizes reunion and happiness, so we should eat round jiaozi on the winter solstice.
