Jilin great cold solar terms

This year's New Year's Eve is "connected by three sections", namely, the great cold of 65438+1October 20th, the New Year's Eve of 65438+1October 22nd and Spring Festival travel rush of 65438+1October 22nd. This seamless connection of Great Cold, New Year's Eve and Spring Festival has been going on for 100 years in the 20th century.

As the saying goes: "Three festivals are connected, and happy events are repeated.

"What's the point of connecting the three sections this year? It will be warmer in 2023, don't you think?

The Great Cold is the last of the 24 solar terms, which usually falls on the Gregorian calendar at 65438+1October 20th. It is also considered as the coldest period of the year, so it is called "Great Cold".

After the winter solstice, the direct point of sunlight will gradually move northward, and the heat in the northern hemisphere will always be lost. The heat absorbed during the day is less than the heat released at night, so the temperature in the northern hemisphere continues to drop from winter to the future, which is why the day is the shortest from winter to Sunday, but the temperature is not the lowest.

Theoretically, severe cold will be colder than mild cold, but in fact, according to China's long-term meteorological records, the severe cold in the north is higher than mild cold, while the severe cold in the south is colder than mild cold.

Due to the cold season, among the people, the great cold solar terms have the stress of "one must eat, the other must not do".

Doing nothing, staying up late.

Severe cold represents extremely cold weather. The severe cold solar term is from March 9 to April 9, which is the coldest season in a year. At the same time, this solar term is the intersection season of winter storage and spring birth, and it is the conversion season of retraction. Weather changes will cause strong "pressure" on the body, and any behavior that weakens resistance is not allowed. Staying up late is one of them. Therefore, you must not stay up late during the severe cold season. You must keep healthy and ensure adequate rest and sufficiency.

Second, don't do it, get angry.

Because anger can also cause stress to the body, leading to decreased resistance. It may not show up at that time, but it has already affected the body. Once stimulated again, it is easy to get sick, giving people a feeling of bad luck.

Therefore, the ancients believed that if you were angry on a cold day, it would affect the fortune of the whole year.

One must eat and eat glutinous rice.

The ancients had the custom of eating glutinous rice food on the day of the great cold solar term, and the rice cake was more common. As the saying goes, "rice cake, rice cake, high year by year" means high year by year.

After the severe cold, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer. The latest 150 years, the earliest year of the Spring Festival is in 1966, 1, and the latest year is in 1985, indicating that the severe cold is coming, the fastest day.

In ancient rural areas, there was a custom in the Great Cold. People will find some cooked straw and throw it on the side of the road, crush it, and take the homonym of "stepping on the old", meaning peace in the New Year and praying for a better life in the coming year.

The weather in recent days is completely in line with the "cold" state. According to China Weather Network, due to the influence of cold air, there will be a temperature drop of 6- 10℃ in Inner Mongolia, central Jilin, north-central Shanxi, northern Shandong, central Liaoning, western and southern Hebei, and the local temperature drop can even reach 12- 19℃.

During the Spring Festival, two cold air will affect our country one after another, and the temperature in various places will fluctuate lower. Due to the influence of the recent three cold air streams, the average temperature in most parts of the north will be 1-3℃ lower than that in the same period last year, and the temperature in Heilongjiang will even be 5-8℃ lower than that in the same period last year, and the average temperature in all parts of the north will reach or approach the lowest value in the same period last year.

By then, the lowest temperature in Jilin area will generally be below -20℃, and in many places in Heilongjiang, it will be below -30℃.

The temperature in the Spring Festival this year is low, because it is during the "April 9" period, but in fact, the temperature is expected to be warmer in 2023.

2023 is the "Double Spring Year", that is, there will be two solar terms in beginning of spring this year, namely "Spring at the end of the year", one is the 14th day of the first month and the other is the 25th day of the twelfth month. This is because there is a leap in February in the lunar calendar in 2023, which is exceptionally long, reaching 384 days.

An agricultural proverb says, "No one is warm in one winter for two years", which means that spring with two solar terms in a year is often not very cold.

In ancient China, the "Tiangan Chronology" was adopted, which combined the ten Tiangan (A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui) with the twelve branches (Zi, Ugly, Yin, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai).

Because water has the meaning of gathering wealth, there is a folk saying that "black rabbits get rich", and high temperature is conducive to crop growth, so there is also a saying that "double spring wheat is used as firewood".

After the cold weather in recent days, it is as warm as spring now.

This year's epidemic prevention and control measures have been optimized. After the temperature rises in spring, we will gradually come out of the epidemic and usher in a new life.
