What is the winter month on the calendar?

"Historical Records Guan Chan": "The magical strategy of the Yellow Emperor is to be old, win the winter solstice, win the celestial discipline, and start all over again."

Translation:

In the Yellow Emperor's place, the solstice in winter is regarded as New Year's Day, not just following the "Jane Zi Chun" of the Zhou Dynasty. The custom of winter solstice was originally a remnant of the annual custom of Zhou Dynasty. However, with the increase of age and the change of calendar, the winter solstice festival is gradually forgotten, and it is also called "winter month" because 1 1 month in the lunar calendar is the month of winter solstice in the 24 solar terms.
