Is it getting longer and longer after the solstice in winter?

Yes, the darkness is getting longer and the days are getting shorter and shorter.

In all parts of the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is the shortest day in a year, and the farther north, the shorter the day. North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is below the horizon all day, which is the widest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. For the rest of the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is also the lowest day at noon in a year.

Meteorological change

The winter solstice has the shortest day and the longest night. After this day, the days began to get longer and longer. Therefore, the ancients believed that "the winter solstice is the sun, and the sun is quiet with the yin." In other words, the solstice in winter is a time when yin and yang alternate. From then on, Yin Qi declined and Yang Qi began to sprout, which is a sign that winter is over and spring is coming. ?

After the winter solstice, the climate in all parts of China will enter a coldest stage, which is often called "ninth year cold" and "ninth year cold". The so-called "number nine" refers to nine days from the date of winter solstice, which is called "nine". After nine nines, it happens to be 8 1 day, whether it is "nine out" or "nine out". From "September 19th" to "September 9th", the cold winter turned into a warm spring.
