With the development of history and the integration of northern and southern customs and cultures, "Nine" has been widely spread and became popular in the northern region at the latest in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Zong Zong of the Liang Dynasty wrote in Jing Chu Sui Ji: "The winter solstice is 998 1 day, which is the end of cold."

There are several nine songs all over the country, but the lyrics are slightly different. People all over the country have compiled various proverbs, ballads and fluency according to different climatic conditions, scenery characteristics, agricultural phenology and customs.

Extended data:

The method of calculating cold and warm by number nine is suitable for areas where the temperature changes obviously from winter to around in China. The calculation of temperature and warmth changes is accurate to days. Judging from the number of days from winter to Sunday, the coldest period is "March 9, April 9", while counting to "998 1 day" is a late spring and warm day.

There are also some places that count to nine from the day of winter solstice. In some cold areas, the temperature in winter and spring is below zero degrees Celsius for a long time in the ice and snow, and the temperature change is not obvious from winter to around. "Nine days" is not much different from the temperature.

For the convenience of counting nine, counting begins from the date of winter solstice, that is, the date of winter solstice is called "cross nine", every nine days is "nine nine", and so on.
