Is winter solstice a solar term?

The meaning of the winter solstice solar term is that the cold winter has arrived, so let's prepare for the cold and warm-up. From the solstice of winter, we will enter the well-known cold days, the temperature will drop day by day, and the days of strong cold wind will begin.

There is heavy snow before the winter solstice (node on February 7-9, 65438), slight cold from winter to the future (node on October 4-6, 65438/kloc-0+February 2 1), and node on February 23, 65438+February 23.

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. There is also the custom of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors in winter solstice in various regions.

After entering the ninth year, some literati engaged in so-called activities to cool down and keep out the cold. They chose a "ninth day" to meet nine people ("wine" is homophonic with "nine"), and nine dishes and bowls were used on the dining table. People who finish the table use "nine flowers" to mean "nine nine" to reduce the cold.
