What do you mean, cold or not?

May 9 and June 9 are the fifth and sixth cycles from winter to the future. At this time, the weather has begun to get warmer, which is not too cold compared with the severe cold in December.

Five-nine-six-nine comes from "Nine-nine Songs". Origin: Compared with their descendants, the working people in ancient China, especially those in the north, lacked the conditions of keeping warm from the cold. The cold winter is regarded as a threat and punishment. They are afraid of freezing to death in the cold, which directly affects people's mood and even feels that winter is inexplicably long.

At that time, in order to survive the long winter, the people of China invented the method of "counting nine" to pass the time, so as to alleviate the psychological crisis under the threat of winter. At that time, it was a carefree state to count nine around your family.

Five nine six nine

"May 1969" refers to the fifth and sixth "nine days" from winter to the future, that is, the thirty-seventh to the fifty-fourth days from winter to the future.

There is a saying "Jiujiu" in the China lunar calendar, which is used to calculate the seasons. The calculation method is from the solstice of winter (counting from the solstice of winter, which means the beginning of cold), every nine days are called a nine, the first nine days are called a nine, the second nine days are called a 29, and so on until the ninth nine days, when the number reaches 998 1 day. At this time, winter has passed and spring has arrived.

The popular "99 Songs" went like this: "1929, don't shoot; 3949, walking on the ice; 5969, look at the willows by the river; Seven or nine rivers open, and eight or nine geese come; 99 plus 19, plowing cattle everywhere. " Popular rhymes are catchy and easy to remember.

As we all know, it is the coldest time for people to feel in March and September. Three or nine days is easy to calculate. Every year, on the day of winter solstice, you start counting to nine. After that, as long as you are familiar with the traditional solar terms in China, you will know the schedule of cold and heat.
