Why do people say that winter is not cold on the solstice, but the coldest in the first month?

Winter solstice is the 22nd solar term. After entering the public area, people will eat a bowl of jiaozi at noon on this day. When I was young, old people would say "Eating jiaozi won't freeze my ears" on this day. Of course, this is just a saying in traditional culture. However, it will be the solstice of winter in a few days.

Some people say that winter solstice is a year. In fact, the year after winter solstice is called "solar year", but do you know? During the winter solstice, there is an old proverb that "the winter solstice is at the end of the month and the cold is in the first month". However, when I looked through the calendar, I found that this year's winter solstice falls on 65438+February 2 1 day in the solar calendar, which means it happens to be in the middle of the month.

According to this phenomenon, the cold weather this year should be in the first month. Speaking of this, it reminds me of what my grandmother used to say when I was a child, "1929 walked on the ice, but in 3949 my hands could not reach it." Then the "September 19" here refers to the ninth day of the calibration month, and the "walking on the ice" here refers to the freezing of the water surface due to the very low temperature.

It seems that the weather and temperature are really low this year. However, now that Shibin has entered the winter month, there are still few freezing temperatures in our northern region, which shows that the weather after the winter solstice is very cold, so we must pay attention to keep warm.

Prepare daily necessities for winter in advance, and eat some high-calorie food in cold January to resist the cold weather. In a word, I personally think this old saying is reasonable, so we must make preparations in advance.

Climatically, during the winter solstice, the average temperature in the northwest plateau is generally below 0℃, and the southern region is only about 6℃ to 8℃. In addition, the winter solstice begins to count to nine, and the winter solstice becomes the first day to count to nine. As for "Counting Nine", there is a folk song that goes like this: "Don't do it in September, walk on the ice in March and April, watch the willows along the river in May and June, open the river in July and September, geese come in August and September, and cows go everywhere in September and September." However, in the southwest low-altitude valley area, even in the coldest local165438+ in early October, the average temperature is still above 10℃. It can be said that autumn goes and spring comes, and there is no winter all year round.
