99 solar terms are the general term used by the ancient people in China to indicate the date from winter to day or from summer to 8 1 day in the future. Winter to 8 1 day in the future is "winter 99", and summer to 8 1 day in the future is "summer 99". Folk generally refers to the "nine" is the winter nine nine. Every nine days is a nine, called nineteen, twenty-nine, thirty-nine, and until ninety-nine, it is called "counting nine cold days" for the winter in climate.

Winter 999 refers to nine days backward from the winter solstice every year. The process of "counting nine" is a process in which the extreme cold turns warm, the cold disappears, and the warmth becomes longer, so people often call this 998 1 day "nine days" and "counting nine cold days". The first nine days of "Jiujiu" are called "Jiujiu", the last nine days are called "Erjiu" ... and the last nine days are called "Jiujiu".

Extended data

Every year, during the winter solstice of the Lunar New Year, jiaozi is an indispensable holiday feast for both the rich and the poor. As the saying goes: "On October 1st, when the solstice of winter comes, every family eats jiaozi."

An ancient poem said, "Every family beats rice to make glutinous rice balls, knowing that it is the winter solstice of the Ming Dynasty." Eating glutinous rice balls on the solstice in winter is a traditional custom in China, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a folk saying that "eating glutinous rice balls is one year older". Tangyuan is also called jiaozi, and eating jiaozi on the winter solstice is also called "jiaozi on the winter solstice"; Tangyuan can be used for ancestor worship or as a gift to relatives and friends.

Another explanation is that the winter solstice is the longest night in a year. On the solstice of winter, before dawn, women get up and make a fire to cook jiaozi. First, they worship their ancestors, and then the whole family sit around and eat jiaozi. Therefore, eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter means not only the gradual return of the sun, but also reunion. Modern people prefer to regard it as a symbol of perfection.
