When is the date of the winter solstice?

The solar term of winter solstice is 65438+February 2 1-23 in the Gregorian calendar every year.

Every year in the Gregorian calendar (65438+February 2 1-23), the direct point of the sun moves southward to the extreme. On this day, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn (23 26' s), and the sun is most inclined to the northern hemisphere, with the smallest elevation angle, which is the shortest day and the longest night in all parts of the northern hemisphere. The solstice in winter is also a turning point for the direct point of the sun to return to the north. After this day, it will make a "turn back" and the direct point of the sun will begin to move north from the tropic of Capricorn.

There is a saying that "the solstice in winter is a sunny day"

The arrival of the winter solstice solar terms indicates that the height of the sun is the smallest and the day is the shortest in all parts of the northern hemisphere, which is not the day with the highest concept of yin and yang. "Yin-Yang and Five Elements" belong to the category of "trunk and branch", and the growth and decline of "Yin-Yang" is based on "trunk and branch", not on the deviation of direct sunlight.

According to the law of solar terms, beginning of spring is the starting point of the rising of "Yin and Yang" qi in Yang Qi. Since the beginning of spring, Yang Qi has changed and Yang Qi has risen. The solstice in winter is the starting point for the return of the sun. Since the winter solstice, the sun has returned to the north, and the days in the northern hemisphere have increased day by day.
