What does the solstice mean in winter?

The arrival of winter solstice means the official arrival of winter.

The winter solstice is the year with the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. According to modern astronomical science, on the solstice in winter, the sun shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn, and the sun is most inclined to the northern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere has the shortest day and the longest night. After the winter solstice, the sun gradually moves northward, and the days will be longer day by day. This day means the official arrival of winter.

The ancients said this about the winter solstice: As soon as the cathode arrived, the yang began to grow, the sun went south, the day was short and the shadow was long, so it was called "the winter solstice". After the winter solstice, the climate everywhere has entered the coldest stage, which is often called "entering the ninth". In China, there is a folk saying that "it's cold in March, and it's dog days".
