What is the date of the beginning of winter in 2020?

Solar term Beginning of Winter: Saturday, November 7, 2020 7:13:46. The Beginning of Winter in 2020 starts at 7:13:46 on November 7.
Beginning of Winter, one of the 24 solar terms, occurs when the handle of the Big Dipper points to the northwest and the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 225°. It falls between November 7 and 8 of the Gregorian calendar every year.
Beginning of Winter is a seasonal solar term, indicating that winter has begun. Li means establishment and beginning; Dong means the end, when all things are stored.
In winter, yang retreats and yin grows, vital energy is stored, and all things begin to be stored. "Autumn harvest, winter storage", all things are closed and hidden in winter. Winter is the season to enjoy the harvest and recuperate.
The Beginning of Winter is one of the "Four Seasons and Eight Festivals" in folk culture. In ancient times, some places in my country would hold sacrificial ceremonies, banquets and other activities on the Beginning of Winter to celebrate it as an important festival.
Traditionally, "Lidong" is regarded as the beginning of winter. The dry and rainy autumn climate gradually passes and begins to transition to the rainy, cold and freezing winter climate.
After the beginning of winter, the daylight hours will continue to shorten and the altitude of the sun at noon will continue to decrease. Since the heat stored on the ground still has a certain amount of energy, the temperature in early winter (Mengdong) generally drops gradually, but it is not very cold. As time goes by, strong cold air moves south frequently and crosses the Nanling Mountains, and the weather becomes colder and colder. In the northern regions, it is already very cold before the beginning of winter.

When will the ninth lunar month be held this year?

This year, the time of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month in 2020 is December 25 (Renyin Day), and the winter solstice of 2020 is December 21. The first day of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the day of Renyin after the winter solstice.
Jiao Jiu, generally referred to as Jiu, is also known as Winter Jiujiu. It is a folk method used by the Chinese to calculate the dates of cold days and the beginning of spring.
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.

Customs of the Beginning of Winter
