When is the solstice in the winter of 2022?

The winter solstice in 2022 is 65438+February 22, 2022.

The solar calendar from the winter solstice in 2022 is 65438+February 22nd, 2022, and the lunar calendar is 1 1 29th, 2022. The winter solstice is the 22nd of the 24 solar terms, and the longitude of the sun reaches 270 degrees. It meets on the Gregorian calendar 65438+February 2 1-23 every year, and the winter solstice is this day.

In fact, because there is still "accumulated heat" on the surface, it is usually not very cold before the winter solstice, and the real cold is after the winter solstice. Because the climate in China is very different, the winter with this climatic significance is obviously late for most parts of China, and the winter solstice marks the coming cold season, so people begin to count nine (folk proverb: the summer solstice is three years old, and the winter solstice is nine years old).

Traditional customs of winter solstice

1, eat jiaozi

In many parts of northern China, it is a custom to eat jiaozi every winter solstice. In northern China, people eat jiaozi on this day, because jiaozi means "driving away the cold". Up to now, there has been a saying among the people that "jiaozi bowls are not delicious in winter, and nobody cares about frozen ears".

Step 2 eat glutinous rice balls

Eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter is a traditional custom, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. "Tangyuan" is an indispensable food in winter solstice, and "round" means "reunion" and "perfection". Eating jiaozi in winter solstice is also called "winter solstice yen". There is a folk saying that eating jiaozi is one year old.

Step 3 draw nine

The so-called painting nine is actually a picture to calculate the warm days from winter to spring in the future. The Ming Dynasty's "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Forbidden City" contained: "On the winter solstice, draw a plum blossom, one petal is 80 petals, and one petal is dyed every day. When the petals are exhausted, the meaning of spring is deep, which is called "the cold map of 99". There are three kinds of patterns in "99 Cold Map", which are characters, circles and plum blossoms.
