Is the solstice winter the beginning of winter? Or is it over?

The solstice of winter is not the beginning of winter, but the beginning of winter is the beginning of winter. The winter solstice marks the minimum height of the sun and the shortest day in the northern hemisphere, but the temperature in winter solstice is not the lowest. 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, and the sun is most biased towards the northern hemisphere.

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. It is worth noting that around the winter solstice, the earth is located near the perihelion, and its running speed is slightly faster, resulting in that the time of direct sunlight in the southern hemisphere is about 8 days shorter than that in the northern hemisphere in a year, so the winter in the northern hemisphere is slightly shorter than that in summer.

Winter solstice is one of the 24 solar terms. The establishment of the twenty-four solar terms and December is the basic content of the calendar, which was concluded in ancient times (or ancient times). According to ancient records, Emperor Tiandi began to determine his age in the name of cadres and branches. Twenty-four solar terms are special festivals in the dry calendar that express seasons, phenology, climate change and the establishment of "December construction".
