The solstice of winter is hot and cold until mid-March; Where is the folk proverb that the solstice in winter is very cold and spring is warm early?

This is an agricultural proverb circulating in the north of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains of the Yangtze River, which means that the winter solstice solar term is in the early November of the lunar calendar, that is, before the tenth day of the first month, and the weather is warmer, so quilts can be sold instead of old cows to farm. The winter solstice is in the middle of November of the lunar calendar, so the weather is relatively cold. If the winter solstice solar term is in the late 1 1 month of the lunar calendar, that is to say, the winter solstice solar term is after the 20th, and it will be quite cold in winter. In short, the later the winter solstice solar terms, the colder the winter weather will be.

Winter solstice is one of the most important solar terms in China, and it is also called "off-year" in China. People often say that the winter solstice is as big as a year, which shows that the winter solstice is also a very important traditional festival in a year. When the winter solstice comes, our rural areas in southern China will celebrate the harvest by offering sacrifices to our ancestors, and pray for a bigger harvest in the coming year. It is believed that the weather changes on the day of winter solstice have many connections with the subsequent winter climate. Therefore, from the winter of solstice, people should count to nine. Old people often say that "I am three years old on the solstice in summer and nine years old when I meet the African Union on the solstice in winter". On the third Geng day of the solstice, it began to count to nine.
