The horns of the deer antlers are shed: The deer and the elk are in the same family, but have different yin and yang.

What should we pay attention to during the 2020 Winter Solstice?

Keep warm: Start from your feet <br /> The cold and yin energy is strong during the winter solstice, marking the beginning of the "nine days". In the health preservation during the nine cold days, the first thing we should pay attention to is to avoid the cold evil, so everyone should wear more clothes to avoid the cold evil, especially pay attention to keeping the feet warm.
Exercise: Seeking stillness in motion <br /> From the winter solstice, the Yang energy in nature begins to rise. How can the Yang energy in our body rise? "Movement creates yang, and stillness creates yin." Reasonable exercise can help us to raise the yang energy in the body, but excessive raising of yang energy will dissipate the true essence and is not in line with the health-preserving principle of hibernation in winter. When exercising in winter, we must first avoid the invasion of cold evil. Secondly, the amount of exercise should not be too much. We should seek tranquility in motion to achieve a state of peace of mind and tranquility. Peaceful exercises such as Ba Duan Jin and Tai Chi are good choices.
Diet: replenish body fluids <br /> In addition, it is also important to note that you should not eat too spicy food on the winter solstice. Excessive spicy food can only generate yang and fire, leading to internal heat accumulation and upward rush of stagnant heat. Overeating of fatty and greasy foods such as mutton and dog meat can easily lead to indigestion, accumulation of dampness, phlegm and heat. In the north, while supplementing with hot foods, people also need to eat some foods that replenish body fluids, such as water chestnuts, lotus roots, pears, radishes, cabbage, etc.
Nourishing the Heart: Being Generous and Open-minded <br /> The key to maintaining health is to nourish the heart. To maintain health, you must first cultivate a kind and generous heart. When your heart is open, you will be free from worries. Keep an open and optimistic spirit, don't worry about trivial matters, don't force fame and fortune, and don't worry about gains and losses. Children should take good care of their elderly parents and ensure that they are mentally well-nourished.

Will the temperature rise after the winter solstice?

Although the sun is lowest and the sunshine time is shortest on the winter solstice, the heat absorbed by the ground is less than the heat lost. However, the heat accumulated by the ground over a long period of time is still being lost, and the near-ground temperature has not yet dropped to the lowest, so this is not the coldest time of the year.
After the winter solstice, although the days become longer and the nights become shorter, in the short term the days are still short and the nights are long. The heat absorbed by the ground every day is still less than the heat lost, so the temperature does not rise immediately.
People start counting the nine days from the winter solstice, with every nine days being a "nine". Around the 39th day of the coldest winter, the ground stores the least heat and the weather is the coldest, so it is said that “the coldest day of the coldest winter”. In astronomy, the winter solstice is regarded as the beginning of winter, which is obviously too late for most parts of my country.
During the winter solstice, the average temperature on the western Sichuan Plateau is generally below 0℃, and in the Sichuan Basin it is only around 6℃ to 8℃. However, in the low-altitude river valley areas of southwestern Sichuan, even in early January, the coldest month in the area, the average temperature is still above 10℃. It can be said that autumn has gone and spring has arrived, and there is no winter all year round.
