What does the winter solstice solar term mean?

The solstice this winter is unusual. On the tenth day of the winter month, the rural elderly summed up two characteristics, namely: this year's winter solstice handed over early, belonging to the winter solstice at the beginning of the month; The winter solstice is at the beginning of the month, so there is no need to worry.

1, this year's winter solstice is handed over early, and the beginning of the month belongs to the winter solstice.

Because there is a leap month in the lunar calendar, the handover time from winter to Sunday is not fixed every year, but it must be 1 1 month in the lunar calendar, but the specific time is different. Some years are at the beginning of the month, some years are in the middle of the month and some years are at the end of the month. This year's winter solstice is handed over on February 22nd of 12, and the 10th day of November of the lunar calendar is obviously the first winter solstice and also the handover at the beginning of the month.

2. The winter solstice is at the beginning of the month.

This proverb means that if the winter solstice is handed over at the beginning of the month, don't worry even if there is no quilt in winter, which means it is not too cold in winter. In fact, this sentence is similar to the previous one.

Because the arrival of the winter solstice is also the beginning of the number nine, the early handover of the winter solstice indicates that the number nine is also ahead of schedule, and the solar terms of the severe cold will also be handed over in advance, so that the Spring Festival can avoid the 3949 and the slight cold, and it will not be too cold during the Spring Festival, but it will be relatively warmer.
