The winter solstice is unusual, and the Spring Festival is unpredictable
Therefore, the winter solstice was also called in ancient times"Grow to knots"、"Changyang Festival", which was considered a very auspicious day in ancient times. Because of its importance, the winter solstice is also called"Winter Festival"、"The first year of the year"It is one of the four seasons and eight festivals in ancient times, and it is among the people"The winter solstice is as big as a year"said.
December 22 is the winter solstice, an important of the 24 solar terms that marks the beginning of winter. The explanation of the winter solstice in the Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order is:"Winter solstice, mid-November. The end of the hidden qi is extreme"。
And in our country there is also an ancient folk Xi: from the winter solstice, we will enter"Count nine cold days", commonly known as"Number nine"、"Handed over nine", the weather will enter the coldest time of the year.
But about this year's winter solstice, some say it"Unusual"And why?As the saying goes"At the beginning of the winter solstice, it is also winter", Is the Spring Festival in 2024 too cold?Let's take a look!
This year's solstice has been brought forward.
Since the 24 solar legislatures are based on the solar calendar, the time of year for each legislature is essentially fixed, but this is not the case with the lunar calendar, which can fluctuate widely.
This year's winter solstice is still on December 22, but it is different in the lunar calendar, coming earlier than usual to the 10th day of the 11th lunar month.
And the winter solstice in 2022 is the 29th day of the 11th lunar month (December 22, 2022);The winter solstice in 2021 is on the 19th day of the 11th lunar month (December 22 in the Gregorian calendar);The winter solstice in 2020 is also the 21st day of the 12th month of the lunar calendar, but it is equivalent to the 7th day of the 11th month of the Gregorian calendar.
As you can see, this year's winter solstice is much earlier than last year, and one of the reasons is that there is a leap February in the lunar calendar 2023.
Early winter solstice"How to say?
Regarding the winter solstice in different years, in different places in the lunar month, there are actually different sayings, the most classic of which is"On the winter solstice, it is also winter"It means that the winter solstice is at the beginning of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, so it means that the winter of the year will be warmer, even if the cover quilt can be in winter.
Some places say"When the winter solstice arrives, the weather is warm;The winter solstice arrives at the second time, and the weather is cold;The winter solstice arrives at three, and the cold is late", in fact, the meaning is almost the same, they all refer to the beginning of the month, so the winter of that year is a warm winter.
The winter solstice falls in mid-November and the weather will be colder. But in the second half of the month, the weather will be colder, and even after spring.
These proverbs are based on the location of the winter solstice in the lunar calendar to calculate the time. Because it is summarized based on the experience of ancient ancestors, it also has a certain reference value. So, will the Spring Festival in 2024 be so cold that you cry?
What is the weather like during Chinese New Year 2024?
This can also be based on the agricultural proverbs handed down by the ancestors**, such as in many places"The winter solstice is clear, and the first month is rainy;The winter solstice rains, and the first month is clear"said.
It means that if the winter solstice is sunny, the first month will be rainy and snowyIf the day of the winter solstice is a rainy and snowy day, there will be more sunshine in the first month.
There is also a way to say that"The winter solstice is warm and cold until mid-March;The winter solstice is cold, and next year will be warm in spring", which means that the winter solstice is still relatively warm, warmer than in previous years, so March of this year can still be relatively cold. However, if the weather is cold after the winter solstice, it will warm up at the beginning of spring next year, which means that it may be warm during the Spring Festival.
Although these proverbs are like a textbook that has been passed down through the ages and has a certain reference value, meteorological changes are as complex and changeable as ocean waves, and it is difficult to **. Therefore, we cannot rely solely on these proverbs to ** future weather conditions.
At the same time, we should pay attention to weather forecasts and related meteorological information. With this information, we can take precautions to keep warm for the cold weather. In this winter full of unknowns, let's prepare to meet the cold challenges like warriors.
