What does the 30th day of the winter solstice mean? Another name for November in the ancient calendar.

1, winter to the sun and the moon is the winter month, which is another name for November of the lunar calendar in ancient calendar.

The ancients in China had various nicknames for twelve months a year. At present, there are still three months in the language of the older generation in rural areas, namely, the first month (January of the lunar calendar), the winter month (November of the lunar calendar) and the twelfth month (December of the lunar calendar).

This habit is conducive to the parallelism of the two calendars. For example, January and the first month, November and the winter month, December and the twelfth month need no explanation and will not be misunderstood. Why do some places call the winter moon "the solstice in winter"? Because old people are used to twenty-four solar terms from the first month, and winter to sunset is in the winter month (in fact, it is not accurate, there is a leap month in the lunar calendar).

The 30th day of the winter solstice is November 30th of the lunar calendar (not written as 1 1.30).

brief introduction

Winter solstice (English: winter? Solstice), also known as "Winter Festival" and "Happy Winter", is one of the twenty-four solar terms in China and one of the eight astronomical solar terms, which is opposite to summer solstice. The winter solstice begins when the sun reaches 270 degrees of the yellow meridian, which is about 65438+February 22 of the Gregorian calendar every year. According to legend, the solstice in winter is the New Year's Day of the Zhou Dynasty in history, and it was once a very lively day.

On the winter solstice, the direct position of the sun on the ground reaches the southernmost point of the year and almost directly reaches the Tropic of Capricorn (23 26' south latitude). On this day, the northern hemisphere gets the least sunshine, 50% less than the southern hemisphere. The days in the northern hemisphere are the shortest, and the farther north they are, the shorter they are.

More generally, there is a custom of eating jiaozi from winter solstice in northern China. As the saying goes, "When winter solstice comes, eat jiaozi." In the south, we eat jiaozi, but there are exceptions. For example, in Tengzhou, Shandong Province, the solstice in winter is called Jiujiu, and the custom of drinking mutton soup on that day is very popular, which means driving away the cold.
