Winter tonic or solstice winter tonic?

Winter in beginning of winter and solstice can make up for winter.

On the day of winter solstice, although the sun is low and the days are short, the temperature of winter solstice is not the lowest in meteorology. In fact, due to the "accumulated heat" on the surface, it is usually not very cold before the winter solstice, and the real cold is after the winter solstice. Due to the great difference in climate in different parts of China, the winter with this climatic significance is obviously late for most parts of China, and the winter solstice marks that the cold season is about to enter, so the people begin to count nine (folk proverb: "The third watch in summer, the ninth watch in winter").

The winter solstice, known as the "southern solstice", is a solar term that reflects the direct movement of sunlight. On this day, the sun goes south to the extreme, and the sun shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn. From this day on, the direct point of the sun returned to the north. The solstice in winter is the turning point when the sun moves south and returns to the north. Since then, the sun has risen in height and the days in the northern hemisphere have increased day by day. The solstice in winter marks the rebirth of the sun and the movement of the sun back and forth into a new cycle.

The difference between beginning of winter and the winter solstice.
