What are the solar terms in beginning of winter?

The solar term in beginning of winter comes around Gregorian calendar 1 1.8 every year, which coincides with the turn of autumn and winter, also known as "mating time", and is the first solar term in winter. At this time, the sun rotates to 225 degrees of the yellow meridian, marking the beginning of winter climate. In southern China, sunny, warm and comfortable "Xiaoyangchun" weather often appears from beginning of winter to Xiaoxue. There is a folk saying that "it's sunny in October". As the saying goes, "it's warm in August and warm in September, and it's sunny in October". Generally, it is not very cold in early winter in the south, but with the passage of time, cold air frequently goes south and the temperature gradually drops.

The seventy-two phases compiled by the ancients in China divided the solar terms in beginning of winter into three five days, with one phase every five days: "Ice begins with water; The second waiting place began to freeze; Waiting for the flood is a cockroach. " At this point, water can already form ice; The land also began to freeze; The pheasant in the flood is a pheasant, which means a big bird like a pheasant. The pheasant is a big clam. After beginning of winter, big birds like pheasants were rare, but you can see big clams with similar lines and colors at the seaside. Therefore, the ancients thought that pheasants would become big clams in early winter.
