What do you mean by the rising of winter solstice and the freezing of cows in China New Year?

The winter solstice rises, and the cattle freeze to death in the New Year, which means that if it is sunny from winter solstice, it means that the temperature will be lower this winter, and the temperature will be the lowest before and after the Spring Festival. Even cows with thick fur may freeze to death before and after the Spring Festival.

In the past, because there was no technology and equipment to predict the future weather, intelligent working people could only guess what the future weather would be like from their life and work experience. It is found that if there is sunshine on the winter solstice and solar terms, the temperature will be very low before and after the Spring Festival. Although it may not reach the point of "freezing cattle", it will make people feel extremely cold.

From the winter of solstice, we began to count. As an old saying goes in the countryside, "March 9 and April 9 are the coldest", which means that it is the coldest from the 27th to 45th day after winter. Usually, the oscillation period of strong cold air is about 30 days.

If the winter solstice is sunny, it means that the cold air comes a little later than in previous years, so it will be coldest in Kyubi no Youko and early April, and this time is better around the Spring Festival, so there is a saying that "the winter solstice rises, and the cattle freeze to death in the New Year".

The custom of winter solstice

1, ancestor worship

Sacrificing ancestors is one of the important customs in our national customs, and winter solstice is one of them. On the solstice of winter, people will go to ancestral graves to pay homage to their dead ancestors to show their respect and gratitude. Sacrificing ancestors is not only a traditional family ceremony, but also an important way to inherit family culture. Through ancestor worship, people can feel the wisdom and strength of their ancestors and inherit the fine traditions of their families.
