About the introduction of solar terms from winter solstice?

Solstice is a traditional festival in ancient China, and people attach great importance to it. There used to be a saying that the solstice in winter is as big as a year, and there are customs to celebrate it everywhere. Then, this issue of the Old Yellow Calendar will show you the introduction of solar terms in winter from solstice.

The winter solstice is the shortest and the night is the longest. After the winter solstice, the sun slowly moved to the Tropic of Cancer, and Taiwan Province Province also approached spring from winter. The days in the northern hemisphere gradually became longer and the nights became shorter. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying that "winter solstice is sunset", which means that the spirit of the sun gradually picks up from winter solstice. After the winter solstice, the climate everywhere has entered the coldest stage, which is often called "entering the ninth". In China, there is a folk saying that "it's cold in March, and it's dog days".

The winter solstice is a very important solar term, and it is also a traditional festival in China's lunar calendar. Up to now, there are still many places where the winter solstice festival is held. The winter solstice is commonly known as "Winter Festival", "Dragon Solstice Festival" and "Asian New Year Festival". As early as 2500 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, China had determined the winter solstice by observing the sun through the soil return, which was the earliest of the 24 solar terms. The time is between February 22nd and 23rd of Gregorian calendar 12.

People have to test the future weather by the weather from winter solstice and the order of arrival. As the saying goes: "the solstice in winter is at the beginning of the month, and it should be cold at the end of the year;" The winter solstice is at the end of the month, and the first month should be cold; The winter solstice is in the middle of the month, without snow or frost "(this is based on the arrival of the winter solstice, and it is speculated that the cold current will reach Taiwan Province Province sooner or later).

As the saying goes: "the winter solstice is dark, and the new year's goods are rare; The winter solstice is sparse, and the New Year is dark "(meaning: if there is no sun on the winter solstice, the New Year will be sunny, on the contrary, if the winter solstice is sunny, the New Year will rain).

Now, some places still celebrate the winter solstice as a festival. The northern region has the custom of slaughtering sheep and eating jiaozi and wonton from winter solstice, while the southern region has the custom of eating glutinous rice balls and long noodles from winter solstice on this day.
