Counting the nine days means starting from the day of Ren that falls on the winter solstice (some say it starts from the winter solstice). Every nine days is counted as one "nine", and so on.As the saying goes “The hottest time of the year is in the dog days, and the coldest time is in the coldest days”. The coldest time of the year is the “Coldest Days”. The nine cold days continue to be counted until "jiujiu" (nine nines), eighty-one days. At the end of the nine nines, peach blossoms bloom. At this time, the cold is over and the weather has become warm. Due to the vast territory of my country, the climate varies greatly from place to place. Only some parts of my country correspond to the "ninety-nine days of eighty-one days, peach blossoms bloom, and spring is warm" on the day of Ren when the winter solstice falls, but not all parts of the country. The time for the nine cold days of winter solstice in 2020 is December 25 (Renyin Day) in the new calendar, which is the first Ren Day after the winter solstice (December 21).

Ancient activities related to the Winter Solstice Festival:The Winter Solstice Festival has always been attached great importance to by the people. During the Xiantai period, customs and cultures in the north and south varied, and local customs had not yet been integrated and popularized. Many festivals had a history but lacked records. Many ancient festivals and customs are rarely recorded in written works.According to existing works, the Zhou people (in the Shaanxi area) regarded the eleventh month of winter as the first month and the first day of the eleventh month as the beginning of the year. The Zhou people's winter solstice on November 1st is the same as the winter solstice of the current "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" in the eleventh lunar month. Therefore, it is said that the Zhou people have been holding sacrificial activities on the winter solstice (November) since the Zhou period. "Records of the Grand Historian - Annals of Emperor Xiaowu" states: "Two years later, on the first day of the eleventh month on the winter solstice, calendar makers used the original system. The emperor personally went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the God of Heaven in the Mingtang on the first day of the eleventh month on the winter solstice, and performed Fengshan rituals every time." "Book of the Later Han Dynasty's Etiquette" states: "Around the winter solstice, gentlemen rest and keep quiet, and officials stop working." They also select "capable people" to play the harp and the sheng and play the "Huangzhong tune" to show celebration. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the winter solstice and the beginning of the year were equally important. Meng Yuanlao of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in his "Dongjing Menghualu": "November is the winter solstice. The capital city attaches great importance to this festival. Even the poorest people save money throughout the year and wear new clothes on this day, prepare food and drink, and worship their ancestors. The government opens the gates and celebrates the festival as if it were a New Year's Day." "The Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year."
