Can we visit graves and pay homage to our ancestors during the Beginning of Winter? What is the difference between Beginning of Winter and Winter Solstice?
Introduction: Time always flies so fast, and the annual Beginning of Winter is about to come again. I believe everyone is familiar with the Beginning of Winter. So do you know that you can visit graves and worship your ancestors during the Beginning of Winter? What is the difference between Beginning of Winter and Winter Solstice? 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.Can we visit graves and pay homage to our ancestors during the Beginning of Winter?Suitable: [Do not use on important days]Offering sacrifices, fasting and praying for blessings, taking office, opening the market, setting up tickets and seeking wealth, plugging holes to attract wealth Taboo: [Do not use on important days]Separation, laying beds, breaking ground, funerals, burials, building, groundbreaking, property purchase, embankment building, water release, marriage proposal, moving into new homes, travel, migration, erecting pillars, building housesAccording to the lunar calendar table of auspicious and inauspicious days, today is marked as [Do not use for important events on this day]. You cannot sweep tombs or worship your ancestors on this day. What is the difference between Beginning of Winter and Winter Solstice?The two have different meaningsa Lidong means the beginning of winter. “Li” means start; at this time the weather starts to turn from cool to cold. It is usually around November 7th in the Gregorian calendar every year. b Winter Solstice means winter is here, “至” means to arrive; at this time the weather becomes cold. The winter solstice usually falls around December 22nd of the Gregorian calendar every year. The climate is different a Beginning of Winter In ancient my country, three phases were set every five days after the Beginning of Winter: "The first phase is when the water begins to freeze; the second phase is when the ground begins to freeze; the third phase is when pheasants enter the big water and become clams." At this solar term, the water has already frozen; the ground also begins to freeze; the pheasant in the three phases of "pheasants enter the big 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 on the seashore you can see large clams whose shells have the same lines and colors as pheasants. Therefore, the ancients believed that pheasants would turn into big clams after the beginning of winter. b Winter Solstice 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 in the northwestern plateau is generally below 0℃, and in the southern region it is only around 6℃ to 8℃. However, in the low-altitude river valley areas of the southwest, even in early January, the coldest month there, the average temperature is still above 10℃. It can be said that autumn goes and spring comes, and there is no winter all year round. The winter solstice is the day with the shortest daylight hours in the year. After the winter solstice, the sun's direct point gradually moves northward, and the days in the northern hemisphere gradually become longer, while the nights gradually become shorter. Therefore, there is a saying, "After eating winter solstice noodles, the day will become a line longer." In addition, the winter solstice begins the "Nine Days of Counting Nine", and the winter solstice becomes the first day of the "Nine Days of Counting Nine". There is a folk song about the "Nine Days" that goes like this: "Don't go out on the first and second nine days, walk on the ice on the third and fourth nine days, watch willows along the river on the fifth and sixth nine days, the river blooms on the seventh nine days, swallows come on the eighth nine days, and oxen are everywhere on the ninth and tenth nine days." The two times are different a Lidong is one of the 24 solar terms, and also the end of the Xu month and the beginning of the Hai month in the Ganzhi calendar; the time point is between November 7 and 8 of the Gregorian calendar every year, that is, the sun is at 225° of the ecliptic longitude. b The Winter Solstice usually falls on December 21 or December 22 of the Gregorian calendar. Because the Winter Solstice is not fixed on a specific day, it is called a "live festival" just like Qingming Festival. The customs of the two are different a Beginning of Winter customs: welcoming winter, celebrating winter, and eating dumplings. b Winter Solstice customs include eating dumplings, Tengzhou mutton soup, Jiangnan rice, Taiwanese glutinous rice cakes, Taizhou Leiyuan, Suzhou wine, and Jiangxi glutinous rice cakes.
