The implication and symbol of three or nine days

Three or nine days symbolizes that the weather has entered a relatively cold stage. Count nine. It is usually the coldest day on March 9 and April 9 from the winter solstice, which is the coldest time of the year. Moral of Sanjiu: If it is between lovers, it is generally a homonym of "long-term", indicating a long-term hope or blessing for love.

A certain period in the traditional lunar year in China is also called "Sanjiu". There's a saying in China, "Practice dog days in summer, practice Sanjiu in winter". Corresponding to three nine is three volts. "March 9th" refers to the third "nine days" after the winter solstice, that is, the 19th to 27th days after the winter solstice. "The third nine days after the winter solstice" refers to "March 99", which is also the day when March 99 and April 99 intersect, not "March 99", that is, "March 99" is nine days instead of one day.

People often say, "If it's cold, it will be cold on March 9th.". "March 9th" generally appears in the winter from solstice to severe cold. The custom of old Beijing is to draw a "map of cold in September and September" from the solstice of winter, which has been recorded in the works of Ming Dynasty. This picture is a plum blossom picture, which depicts a plum blossom. It has 8 1 petal (representing 998 1 day).

Introduction of Sanjiu calculation method:

"March 9th" refers to the third "nine days" after the winter solstice, that is, the 19th to 27th days after the winter solstice. There is a saying of "Jiujiu" in China lunar calendar, which is used to calculate the seasons. The calculation method is from winter to the sun (it is called "Jiao Jiu" from winter to the sun, which means the beginning of cold).

Every nine days is a "nine", the first nine days are called "September 19th", the last nine days are called "September 29th", and so on until September 9th, that is, until the ninth nine days, it is 998 1 day. At this time, winter has ended and spring has arrived. Three or nine days is the time when people feel coldest. Three or nine days is easy to calculate. Every winter solstice, you start counting to nine. After that, as long as you are familiar with the traditional solar terms in China, you will know the schedule of cold and heat.
