What is the explanation and significance of counting nine in cold weather?

I remember being afraid of the cold when I was very young and afraid to go out in winter. With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, the cold in winter is no longer, and snow dancing is even more difficult to see. Especially in the south, it is more and more common to see snowflakes all winter. Only in the north can we see the real winter and appreciate the significance of cold weather.

I specially collected and sorted out the relevant information about cold weather, which is to popularize the knowledge of the twenty-four solar terms.

Nine cold days, also known as "Winter Nine Nine", is a folk solar term in winter in China. "Nine" is a unit every nine days from the day of the annual "Winter Solstice". There are many customs of counting nine, among which 99 songs are the most extensive and have a long history.

Note: From the solstice in winter, September 19 is every nine days, and March 9 and April 9 are the coldest. The coldest day.

Meaning: 19 19 to 29 years, the weather is not the coldest, only 1929 years, I can't reach it. Most of March 9 and April 9 belong to the slight cold solar term, which is the coldest time of the year, so the bitch was frozen to death on March 9 and April 9. After May 9th, the earth gradually rejuvenated and the weather gradually turned from cold to warm, so in May 969, I watched the willows by the river. Seven nine eight nine, go alone. 1999, it was already a thunderous solar term, so 1999, the thunder was loud and the noise was persistent.

Custom: The custom of painting nine appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The so-called painting is actually a picture that calculates the warm date of spring after the winter solstice. Ming Dynasty's "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" contains: On the solstice of winter, a plum blossom was painted, which was one of the eighty petals. Dye a petal a day, and the petals will come out in 1999, and then the spring will be deep, saying that 99 will eliminate the cold. In addition, there are poems and pictures of' 99' in Qing Dynasty, which contain four * * * 36 sentences every nine days. From the rule of ancient Huang San to Hsi Chin in Qing Dynasty, it is an exquisite historical memorabilia.

After painting Nine, the custom of writing Nine appeared in Qing Dynasty. Writing nine is also very cultural. I often use weeping willows in front of the pavilion to remember the spring breeze, or use the spring gallery to send incense to the room (traditional, of course). First of all, I tick it into a picture and fill it in from the first day of the ninth grade (similar to painting red in calligraphy practice). Black with a thick brush, nine strokes per word, one stroke per day, and it takes just 8 1 day to fill in these nine words. Interestingly, after filling in a stroke every day, you have to use a fine brush to record the weather of that day on the strokes. So writing nine words in a row is also more detailed meteorological data in 99 days.
