In the land of China, there is a unique method of calculating the date of cold weather and spring flowers, that is, the "number nine" widely spread among the people.
This is a long-standing traditional Xi, and although it has a long history, it is impossible to verify the exact starting time.
However, this does not affect people's love and inheritance, because the number nine is not only a calculation method, but also an expectation of life and a yearning for spring.
The number nine, also known as winter ninety-nine, is a method for calculating the date of cold weather and spring flowers in China.
General "three. "Nine, forty-nine" is the coldest time of the year.
When you count to nine "nine days" (nine hundred and eighty-one days), it is time for spring ploughing.
Although this calculation method is simple, it accurately reflects the climate change in our country in winter, allowing people to prepare in advance for the arrival of spring.
In traditional culture, nine is the extreme number, the number of "to the yang", and the largest number, the accumulation of "the number of the yang" means that the yin is gradually decreasing, and the accumulation of nine times has come to the end, which means that the cold is warm and the spring is deep.
This is the origin of the number nine, which is not only a calculation method, but also an understanding of life and reverence for nature.
The method of counting nine has been passed down by word of mouth among the people in our country, and there is a history but there is a lack of records, and there is no exact information as to when it originated.
However, this does not affect people's love and inheritance, because the number nine has become a widely circulated Xi among the people of our country.
Every year from the winter solstice (it is also said that it is counted from the winter solstice), every nine days is counted as a "nine", and so on.
The so-called "hot in the dogs, cold in the four-nine", the coldest period of the year is"Three.
Nine, forty-nine days"。
Count nine until "ninety-nine" eighty-one days, "nine peach blossoms", at this time the cold has ended, the weather is warm.
However, due to the vast territory of our country, the climate of various places is very different, and the winter solstice is every day of "nine hundred and eighty-one days, nine peach blossoms, deep spring and warm days" correspond to only some parts of our country, not all parts of the country, some cold areas in the spring has not yet had the breath of spring.
The number nine is a unique method of calculating the date of cold weather and spring flowers in China, which is not only a calculation method, but also a kind of expectation of life and yearning for spring.
Although the origin of the number nine cannot be verified, this does not affect people's love and inheritance.
Every year when the winter solstice coincides with the day of the winter solstice or the beginning of the winter solstice, people will count the days according to the method of counting nine, looking forward to the arrival of spring.
This is the charm of number nine, which not only exists in the traditional culture of our country, but also exists in the hearts of every Chinese.
