What does the winter moon mean in the year of Gengzi?

Born in the winter of Gengzi.

Gengzi is one of the main branches, with a rank of 37. The former is Ji Hai, and the latter is Xin Chou. On Yin-Yang and Five Elements (the birthday is auspicious), the Geng of heavenly stem belongs to Yang Jin, and the son of earthly branch belongs to Yang Shui, which is the coexistence of gold and water.

"Winter Moon" is another name for November of the lunar calendar, also known as Gu Yue, Long Moon, Late October and Midwinter. If December of a year is represented by twelve earthly branches, then November is also called "Zi Yue" and "Jia Zi".

According to the lunar calendar, the solar term from the winter solstice must appear in November of the lunar calendar. If there is an error, it will be adjusted by setting a leap month. If there is no leap month in a year, 1 1 month in the lunar calendar is the first 1 1 month in a year, so it is also called winter month because 1 1 month in the lunar calendar is the month of winter solstice in the 24 solar terms.

According to "Historical Records", "The best way for the Yellow Emperor to get a treasure tripod is to be strong in old age, to win the winter solstice, to win the discipline of heaven and to start all over again." This shows that as early as the Yellow Emperor era, the winter solstice was regarded as New Year's Day, which is why the 1 1 month of the lunar calendar was called the winter month.
