When is the autumnal equinox? When is the autumnal equinox of 20 19?

The winter solstice, also known as the "Yang Sheng", is an important solar term in China's lunar calendar and a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. Commonly known as "number nine, winter festival", "dragon festival" and "Asian year old". As early as 2500 years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period, China had observed the sun with the earth and determined the winter solstice, which was the earliest of the 24 solar terms, and the time was every year. It is worth noting that around the winter solstice, the earth is located near the perihelion, and its movement speed is slightly faster, which makes the time for the sun to directly reach the southern hemisphere in a year about 8 days shorter than that in the northern hemisphere, so the winter in the northern hemisphere is slightly shorter than that in summer.

Brief introduction of winter solstice

The winter solstice is a solar term divided by astronomy. It was called "short day" and "short day" in ancient times. On the winter solstice, the sun is located at 270 degrees longitude, and the sun shines almost directly on the Tropic of Cancer. This is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. It doesn't take about 10 hour from sunrise to sunset in all parts of our province. From winter to the future, as the earth revolves around the sun, the direct sunlight area gradually moves northward, making the days in the northern hemisphere gradually longer and the nights gradually shorter. Although during the winter solstice, the sun in the base is the lowest, the sunshine time is the shortest, and the heat absorbed by the ground is less than the heat lost, but the heat accumulated on the ground for a long time continues to be lost, and the temperature near the ground layer has not dropped to the lowest, so it is not the coldest time of the year. After the solstice in winter, although the days are getting shorter and shorter, the nights are getting longer and longer in the short term. The heat absorbed by the ground every day is still less than the heat lost, so the temperature did not rise immediately. People are used to counting nine from the solstice in winter, and every nine days is a nine. Around "September 9th", the heat accumulated on the ground was the least and the weather was the coldest, so it was called "September 9th was cold". Astronomy regards the winter solstice as the beginning of winter, which is obviously too late for most parts of our country. During the winter solstice, the average temperature in the western Sichuan Plateau is generally below 0 degrees, while the average temperature in the Sichuan Basin is only about 6 to 8 degrees. However, even at the beginning of 10, which is the coldest in southwest Sichuan, the average temperature is still above 10. It can be said that it is autumn and spring, and there is no winter all year round.

The three seasons of winter solstice

Earthworm knot: It is said that earthworms are creatures with yin bending and yang stretching. At this time, although the yang has increased, the yin is still very strong, and the earthworms in the soil are still curled up.

Corner solution: Mi and Lu belong to the same family, but Yin and Yang are different. The ancients thought that Mi Jiao was facing the afterlife, so it was cloudy, sunny in winter, and Mi Jiao gradually retreated.

Water movement: The spring water in the mountains can flow and is warm.

Winter solstice custom

China-Du Fu in Ancient and Modern Times

Remind each other day after day,

The winter sun was born, and spring came again.

Five elements of weak thread embroidery,

Blow six tubes of floating ash.

Waiting for the wax to grow into a willow,

The mountains are cold and plum blossoms bloom.

Clouds are different in different countries,

Teach the child to cover the cup in his hand.

055-79000- Heshui Zuo

The northwest wind blows grass and falls,

Several cold times made the sun rise.

The shortest day,

But I saw the golden plum in full bloom.

055-79000—— Du Fu

I'm a guest all year round,

Suddenly poor, worried about killing people.

Jiang described me as an old man,

The custom of Horizon is self-dating.

There is a valley after the snow.

The jade dynasty came to disperse Chen Zi.

I don't have an inch in my heart,

See Sanqin where you are lost.

055-79000- Guiguzi

The sunshine duration from winter solstice is nine days.

The wind was very strong during the first frost.

Another day of balance,

This line extends from south to north.

055-79000- Bai Juyi

Every winter solstice in Handan,

Put your knees in front of the lamp.

Want to sit at home late at night,

Or, a traveler.

055-79000- Wei

A country has no rules,

Worried about vegetarian food.

Just arrived in Beijing,

Travel when it's cold.

Children are born in anger,

The southern end of the anode.

Have a sense of season,

Stay away from acid.

Yan Yunxi,

Or fast for one night.

Deep in the sky,

Lonely lights shone on the sheets.

We should think of each other,

I'd rather forget the past and celebrate the New Year.

This is a leisurely trip,

The next one is dry.

Winter solstice poetry

The refreshing winter on the solstice is sloppy, and the refreshing winter on the solstice is also sloppy.

The winter solstice is sunny, and it rains in the first month; It rains in winter and sunny in January. (Zhe)
