Is the solstice winter the beginning of winter?

The solstice of winter is not the beginning of winter, but the beginning of winter is the beginning of winter.

Winter solstice is the fourth of the six solar terms in winter, namely beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, slight cold and severe cold. The winter solstice, when the meridian of the sun reaches 270 degrees, is celebrated on the Gregorian calendar 65438+February 2 1-23. Winter solstice is one of the eight festivals in a year. In ancient times, there was a custom of "eight festivals" to worship the gods and ancestors. Winter solstice is regarded as a big holiday in winter. There is a folk saying that winter solstice is as big as a year, so the ancients called it "sub-year" or "off-year". The solstice of winter marks the arrival of cold winter. On the solstice of winter, the sun shines directly on the ground and reaches the southernmost tip of the year. The sun shines almost directly on the tropic of Capricorn (also known as the winter solstice daily line), and the sun is most biased towards the northern hemisphere. Therefore, in all parts of the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is the shortest day in a year, and the farther north, the shorter the day.
