As the old saying goes: "The winter solstice is as big as the year, and the world is a small reunion!".”
Time flies, the day after tomorrow is December 22, the winter solstice solar terms, the winter solstice is the shortest day in the northern hemisphere, the longest night day, after the winter solstice will completely enter the cold winter.
I don't know if you have noticed?This year's winter solstice is very unusual, there are 5 "strange phenomena", which are very different from previous years, let's take a look.
In previous years, it was generally two or three days around the winter solstice to start cooling, but this year it is very unusual, half a month ahead of schedule, and even the southern part of Jiangxi and northern Guangdong have ushered in sleet and frost weather.
This is a very rare phenomenon in previous years, in previous years, it is generally not until after the winter solstice, this kind of extreme cold weather will occur in northern Guangdong, not to mention the north, many northern areas of heavy snow for three days and three nights, there is a situation that is rare in ten years.
With the advent of early cooling, many fruit farmers and vegetable farmers have suffered great losses, such as Gannan navel oranges in southern Jiangxi, with the arrival of frost weather, many navel oranges have been completely frozen on the trees.
The number nine is also commonly known as: "winter ninety-nine", is the folk used to calculate the cold weather days of the method, generally the number nine is from the winter solstice solar terms, counting to the end of ninety-nine eighty-one days, then to the day of spring flowers.
But this year's winter solstice is very unusual, strictly speaking, this year's number nine does not start from the winter solstice, the folk proverb has a cloud: "the summer solstice three Geng several heads, the winter solstice every nine counts"!
This sentence means that the count of nine begins after the winter solstice, which means that this year's count nine should start on December 30, not the day of the winter solstice.
The folk proverb also says: "The winter solstice moon is on the head, and the old cattle freeze to death!."Therefore, this year's winter will be even colder, which is a typical cold winter, and everyone must pay attention to keeping warm and not careless.
As the weather gets colder and colder, so do the growers, so you may have noticed that this year's navel oranges, strawberries, sugar oranges and other fruits are more affordable than in previous years.
In the past, Gannan navel oranges cost five or six yuan a catty, but now the cold wave has come in advance, the frost weather has intensified, and the fruit farmers are in a hurry to ship, and the roadside stalls can buy 5 catties for 10 yuan.
Even the cherries that take the high-end route are more affordable this year, after all, even if the fruit is planted in the greenhouse, it will cause a lot of losses in the event of a blizzard and freezing weather.
In the past, when it was cold, everyone liked to go shopping in the mall, the mall was heated, and they could taste all kinds of food, and adults and children loved to go to the mall.
But this year is different, the weather is cold, coupled with everyone's income expectations are not as good as in previous years, there are fewer and fewer people willing to go to the mall, before driving to the mall, 30 yuan parking fee, everyone does not blink their eyes, but now they are reluctant.
In the past, the people who went shopping in the mall on weekends were simply crowded, shoulder to shoulder, but now when they go to the mall on weekends, they are no longer as lively as before, and there are more than half of the people, and everyone would rather stay at home and watch TV than go out and spend money.
In previous years, before and after the winter solstice, everyone liked to invite relatives and friends to eat and have dinner in restaurants to celebrate their great harvest and achievements in the past year.
However, around the winter solstice this year, there was no peak season for dining in previous years, and even many companies used to hold annual dinners before New Year's Day, but now many have canceled.
Street restaurants used to enter the peak season after 9:30 p.m., but now it is not yet 8 p.m., and the restaurants have already entered the low peak season in advance, and there are fewer and fewer people dining.
In addition to the reason for the cold weather, everyone is shy and prefers to stay at home rather than go out to eat, after all, cooking at home is more affordable.
