When does winter begin? Is there any reason?

Beginning of winter is one of the twenty-four solar terms and the first solar term in winter. In ancient China, people used to regard beginning of winter as the beginning of winter. The origin of the earliest solar terms in beginning of winter was for beginning of winter. Later, people got used to the 24 solar terms. When they arrived in beginning of winter, they knew that winter had officially arrived.

Beginning of winter and beginning of autumn are the same. The ancients also used divination to see the warmth and coldness of winter in this season, such as "sunny in beginning of winter, cold in winter"; Early winter is cloudy (rainy), and one winter is warm (warm winter).

Beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter, collectively known as the four seasons, are important festivals in ancient society. On this day, the emperor will lead officials from the people and the army to set up an altar in the northern suburbs of Beijing for sacrifice. Now, when people enter the early winter, they should also celebrate. Beginning of winter's food supplements vary from place to place. Most northerners want to eat jiaozi in early winter, but in southern China, people like to eat chicken, duck, fish and so on in early winter.

Meteorological changes in early winter

In southern China, sunny, warm and comfortable "Xiaoyangchun" weather often appears from beginning of winter to Xiaoxue. There is a folk saying that "it's sunny in October". As the saying goes, "it's warm in August and warm in September, and it's sunny in October". It is generally not too cold in early winter in the south. With the passage of time, after the winter solstice, cold air frequently goes south, and the temperature gradually drops.

Rain and snow will cool down in most parts of northern China in early winter. The first snow in parts of North China often falls at this time. In the northeast and northwest regions, it is already a scene of heavy snow, especially in the northeast Heilongjiang region, which is extremely cold and has already presented a scene of winter long before the arrival of beginning of winter. The continuous exertion of cold air has also caused the northern region to enter the heating season.
