What day is November 7, 2017? Beginning of Winter?
Introduction: Each of the 365 days in a year is presented differently, and some days have certain meanings. So what day is November 7, 2017? Beginning of Winter? What is the origin? The falling leaves indicate the beginning of autumn in September, and the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves in September. September in late autumn is always filled with so many emotions and feelings. The Fortune Teller website interprets every bit of the ninth month in the lunar calendar.What day is November 7, 2017? Beginning of Winter?November 7, 2017, the 19th day of the ninth lunar month, is the Beginning of Winter. The Beginning of Winter is the winter solar term among the 24 solar terms, and it is also one of my country's traditional festivals. The "Lidong" solar term falls on November 7 or 8 every year. Traditionally, our people regard this day as the beginning of winter. Winter, as the meaning of end, refers to the end of a year's field work and the storage of crops after harvest. After the beginning of winter, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in my country will soon freeze over, and farmers across the country will gradually turn to basic farmland water conservancy construction and other farming activities.What is the origin of the solar term Beginning of Winter?During the Spring and Autumn Period, people used a gnomon (a pole used to measure shadows) to measure the length of the sun's shadow. The day when the shadow is longest and the sun moves to the southernmost point is considered the winter solstice. In ancient my country, the Beginning of Winter was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when the water begins to freeze; the second stage is when the ground begins to freeze; the third stage is when pheasants enter the water and become clams." At this solar term, the water can already freeze; the ground also begins to freeze; the pheasant in the third stage "pheasants enter the water and become clams" refers to large birds such as pheasants, and clams are large clams. After the Beginning of Winter, large birds such as pheasants become rare, but large clams with shells similar in lines and colors to pheasants can be seen on the seashore. Therefore, the ancients believed that pheasants would turn into big clams after the beginning of winter. Our understanding of "Lidong" cannot simply be limited to the meaning of the beginning of winter. If we trace back to the origin, the ancients' understanding of "li" is the same as that of modern people, which means to establish and start. But the word "winter" is not that simple. In the ancient book "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes", the explanation of "winter" is: "Winter means the end, and all things are stored", which means that all autumn crops have been harvested and dried, stored in warehouses, and animals have also hidden themselves to prepare for hibernation. To put it in full, Lidong means the beginning of winter, when all things are stored away to avoid the cold.Summary: Through the above article, we know the specific time and origin of the Beginning of Winter in 2017. I hope it can help everyone! |
