Is it winter in beginning of winter?

Yes, China people think that beginning of winter is the beginning of winter. The "beginning of winter" solar term is1October 7th or 8th every year, 165438+. In ancient China, people used to take beginning of winter as the beginning of winter. According to the standard of dividing the four seasons by climatology, if the average temperature in the second half of the year falls below 10℃, it is winter, then the statement that "beginning of winter begins in winter" basically conforms to the climate law in Huanghuai area.

In the northernmost part of China, the areas north of Mohe and Daxing 'anling have entered the winter in early September, and the capital Beijing has already seen the winter scene in late June 10, while the winter in the Yangtze River basin didn't really start until around the "light snow" solar term.

Climatically speaking, the high-altitude westerly jet in South Asia has been completely established. At this time, the fluctuation of the south branch of the high-altitude westerly wind and its eastward movement have great influence on the precipitation weather in Jianghuai area. When the zonal circulation in Asia and the fluctuation of the south branch of the westerly wind are strong, there will be a wide range of rainy weather. In addition, the zonal circulation will end, the meridional circulation will be established, and there will be a cold wave and significant cooling. Before and after winter, precipitation in most parts of China decreased significantly. The land in northern China is frozen, and agricultural and forestry crops have entered the wintering period.

Beginning of winter is an important festival in October. During the Han and Wei Dynasties, on this day, Emperor Tiandi personally led the ministers to meet the winter weather, commended and supported the martyrs who died for their country and their families, asked the deceased to save their lives, and encouraged the people to resist the plunder and invasion of foreign enemies or evil bandits. Among the Han people, there are customs such as ancestor worship, feasting, and predicting the age of ancestors, so as to fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of future generations and pray for a bumper year for them in the coming year, and farmers themselves can get drinking. Some customs in early winter have been changed, and some have been passed down to this day.
