Is the winter solstice one of the 24 solar terms?
The winter solstice is the first day of nine cold days. As the saying goes, "winter solstice is nine years old", it begins to count nine days, and the ninth day is regarded as nine days. After 998 1 year, winter has passed, which is called number nine. Therefore, there is a folk "Nine-Nine Cold Relieving Map" to record the process of counting nine. In ancient times, the solar terms from the winter solstice were the starting point for calculating the 24 solar terms, as well as the starting point and end point for calculating the year.

In addition, China people will observe the changes of clouds and gases at sunrise and sunset from winter to day, and judge the weather during the Spring Festival by predicting the wind, rain and sunshine. Zhejiang agricultural proverb says, "The winter solstice is sunny and the year is rotten, and the winter solstice is sunny and the New Year is sloppy." It means that there will be no rain and snow on the solstice in winter, but it will rain and snow in the Spring Festival, making the road slippery and muddy; or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium
