Come and experience the beauty of November 2019 on the lunar calendar with Shuimoxiansheng.com.Is the Winter Solstice a solar term or a festival?《1》: The Winter Solstice is both a solar term and a traditional festival.——Winter Solstice as a solar term: The Winter Solstice is one of the “24 solar terms”. The "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" and the "Twelve Months" are the basic contents of the Ganzhi calendar, which was established in ancient times (or ancient times). According to ancient books, it was the Emperor of Heaven who first created the names of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to determine the year. The "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" are specific festivals in the Ganzhi calendar that represent seasons, phenology, climate changes, and establish the "Twelve Months". ——Winter Solstice as a festival: The Winter Solstice is a traditional Chinese folk festival and one of the eight festivals of the year. In ancient times, people had the custom of worshiping gods and offering sacrifices to their ancestors on the "Eight Festivals". The Winter Solstice is regarded as a major festival in winter. There is a saying among the people that "The Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year", so the ancients called the Winter Solstice "Second Year" or "Little New Year". In some coastal areas of southern my country, the traditional custom of worshiping ancestors during the winter solstice is still continued. In some areas in northern my country, there is a custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice every year. 《2》: There are three signs of the winter solstice "The first sign is that earthworms will knot knots; the second sign is that elk horns will fall off; the third sign is that springs will start to stir." = It is said that earthworms are creatures that bend in yin and stretch in yang. Although the yang energy has grown at this time, the yin energy is still very strong, and the earthworms in the soil are still curled up; =Elk and deer are of the same family, but they have different yin and yang. Ancient people believed that elk's horns grow backwards, so they are yin. However, when yang is born at the winter solstice, elk feel that the yin energy is gradually receding and lose their horns. =Because Yang energy is just beginning to emerge, the spring water in the mountains can flow and is warm at this time. The different meanings of the winter solstice——Astronomical significance:Modern astronomical science has determined that on the day of the winter solstice, the sun moves to 270° of ecliptic longitude (the winter solstice point), and the position of the sun directly above the ground reaches the southernmost point of the year. The sun almost directly hits the Tropic of Capricorn (also known as the winter solstice line), and the sunlight is most inclined to the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, the winter solstice is the day with the shortest daylight and longest night in the year in all parts of the northern hemisphere, and the further north you go, the shorter the daylight and the longer the night. The winter solstice is the day when the sun is most southerly in the year, and it is the extreme point of the sun's southward journey. ——Climate significance: In astronomy, the winter solstice is regarded as the beginning of the cold winter climate, which is obviously too late for most parts of my country. The winter solstice is the day with the shortest daylight in the year throughout the Northern Hemisphere. After the winter solstice, the sun's direct point gradually moves northward, the days in the northern hemisphere begin to gradually lengthen, and the altitude of the sun at noon gradually increases. ——Health significance: The Winter Solstice is the most important solar term in health preservation, mainly because "Yang is born" on the Winter Solstice. The season from the Winter Solstice to the Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold is the coldest. People with heart and hypertension diseases often have their conditions worsened, the number of people suffering from "stroke" increases, and they are also prone to frostbite in cold weather. Winter Solstice Proverbs <br /> A clean Winter Solstice brings a sloppy year, while a sloppy Winter Solstice brings a clean year. (Gan) 冬至晴，正月雨；冬至雨，正月晴。 (Zhejiang) Sunny on the Winter Solstice, rainy on New Year’s Day, rainy on Mid-Autumn Festival, sunny on the Winter Solstice. (black) Sunny in the Winter Solstice, rainy in the New Year; rainy in the Winter Solstice, sunny in the New Year. (Shandong, Hunan) The Winter Solstice is cold, but the Spring Festival is warm; the Winter Solstice is warm, but the Spring Festival is cold. (Hunan, Guangdong) The winter solstice is not cold, and the summer solstice is not hot. (Xiang) If the Winter Solstice is warm, it will be cold until mid-March; if the Winter Solstice is cold, it will be warm early next spring. (Gui) The winter solstice is warm, and we stay warm by the fire until Grain Fullness. (Gui) Northwest wind at the winter solstice means a dry spring in the next year. (Jin Dynasty) |
