There were many winter poems in ancient times, from which we can also see the different moods and feelings of poets.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao wrote a poem entitled "Ten Days in Winter", which said: "Birds of prey crow in the morning, geese fly south, birds of prey lurk, and bears live in caves. The money stopped and the crops were harvested. Set the whole itinerary and dock the merchants. "

This poem describes the scenery of early October and winter in the north seen on the way back from Cao Cao's Northern Expedition to Wuhuan. In the morning, pheasants and birds are singing, geese are flying in the south, raptors are hiding, and even bears are sleeping in their caves. The farmers put down their farm tools and stopped working. The harvested crops are piled up in the grain fields, and hotels are being arranged to entertain merchants coming and going, expressing the poet's hard feelings of traveling south and north.

Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote a unique poem "Winter Scenery", saying, "The lotus is gone, but there are still branches in Ao Shuang. Good years must be remembered, especially when it is orange, yellow and green. " (It means that the lotus is withered, even the lotus leaf holding the rain is withered. Only the flower branch that has defeated the chrysanthemum is still in Ao Shuang. You must remember the best scenery of the year. The most beautiful scenery is in late autumn and early winter, orange and green. )

When writing early winter, the lotus leaves are defeated and the rain is uncovered; The chrysanthemums have fallen, and there are branches of Ao Shuang. In the poet's view, early winter is the best time of the year.

There are three periods in beginning of winter's solar terms. First, "water begins to freeze", and ice condensation begins to appear on the water surface, but it is not firm. Second, when the ground began to freeze, frost and cold began to condense on the surface of the land, indicating that beginning of winter has entered winter. Three days later, the pheasant began to catch big clams by the lake for the winter.

At this time, vegetation withered, insects lurked, crops were harvested and dried, and people began to make wine and pickle for the winter.

The ancients attached great importance to the change of seasons, and beginning of winter, as a symbol of solar terms at the end or beginning of the four-season cycle, was particularly concerned. In the farming society at that time, ancestors who worked for one year often used beginning of winter to take a rest and reward their families for their hard work. The proverb "beginning of winter fills the winter with an empty mouth" is the best metaphor.

On this day in beginning of winter, the emperor will lead the officials from Beijing to the northern suburbs of Beijing to welcome the arrival of winter. After the ceremony in early winter, the emperor will give colorful embroidered cotton-padded jackets as a reward.

Wu in the Southern Song Dynasty also recorded that officials were dreaming of beginning of winter Festival. After the emperor greeted beginning of winter, if the first snow in winter began to take care of the solar terms, then the court would give Cecilia Han 202,000 yuan (the name of the ancient army salary was graded) as a reward.

In the past, people celebrated solar terms in beginning of winter, and there was also the custom of preparing kimchi for winter. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Meng Fu recorded in "Dream of Tokyo" that vegetables were shipped from Xiyu Garden five days before the solar term in beginning of winter, and people used them to pickle for the winter. Because there were no vegetables on the market in Bianjing in winter at that time, people thought of the method of pickling, so the storage time was longer.
