Why is November in the lunar calendar also called "Winter Moon"?

Because the winter solstice falls on 1 1 month every year, 1 1 month is also the month when winter comes, so it is called winter month for good memories.

Roman emperors Augustus and Caesar both had their own months named after them. Roman citizens and the Senate asked the then Roman emperor Tiberius to name the month 1 1.

But Tiberius disagreed. He wisely told everyone that if every Roman emperor named the month after himself, what would happen if the 13 th emperor appeared?

So 1 1 month still keeps the old name Novem, which means "9" in Latin. This month was originally the ninth month in the old calendar.

English 165438+ 10/month1month evolved from this. Also known as Winter Moon, Frost Moon and First Frost Moon.

There are many other names for November in the lunar calendar: Midwinter, Midwinter, True Winter, Deep Winter, Snowy Moon, Leng Yue, Pingyue, Frosty Moon, Complex Moon, Yayue, Gu Yue, Bitter Moon, Paper Moon, Frosty Moon and First Month.
