When is the winter solstice in 2022?

The winter solstice in 2022 is 65438+February 22nd.

The solstice of winter represents the arrival of cold winter. As early as 2500 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, China had determined the winter solstice by observing the sun through the soil return, which was the earliest of the 24 solar terms.

The winter solstice is the beginning of the number nine. The winter solstice every year is from 65438+February 2 1 to 65438+February 23. From this day on, the number nine is every nine days 19, making a total of 8 1 day. People call it "counting nine cold days" Counting nine is the process of the weather changing from cold to warm, among which March ninth is the coldest, and by September ninth, it is already spring back to the earth.
