Is the winter solstice the end or the beginning of winter?

1. The winter solstice is neither the beginning nor the end of winter. Beginning of winter is the beginning of winter, and winter solstice is the fourth of the six solar terms in winter, namely beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, slight cold and severe cold.

2. The winter solstice is also called the solstice festival, because it is the arrival of the cathode, the beginning of the spirit of the sun, and the festival when the sun travels south. Because the New Year is coming after the winter solstice, there is a saying that the winter festival is as big as the New Year, which means that the custom of the winter solstice is almost the same as that of the New Year.

3. Since the Middle Ages, although the winter solstice (solstice) is not an annual festival, people used to regard it as the dividing point of the "solar year", because on the day of winter solstice, the day is the shortest and the night is the longest. After that, the night becomes shorter, the day becomes longer, the yin disappears and the yang becomes longer, and a new solar year begins.
