Hundred Families Help Plan In the blink of an eye, 2023 has entered a state of "insufficient balance", and now there are less than two months left before the Spring Festival in 2024. Is the Spring Festival cold in 2024?Just look at the number nine timetable, how many nines is the New Year?
1·“ What does "number nine" mean?
Among the 24 solar terms in a year, there are two "solstices", one is the summer solstice and the other is the winter solstice. The summer solstice is the apex of yang energy in nature and the starting point of yin energy;The winter solstice is the apex of yin energy and the starting point of yang energy. In ancient times, people would count "Xia Jiujiu" from the summer solstice and "Dong Jiujiu" from the winter solstice.
"Summer ninety-nine" starts from the summer solstice, every nine days is a unit, and the count ends with nine nines. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the folk appeared "Xia Jiujiu Song", which said:
The summer solstice enters the first nine, and the fan does not leave the hand;Nineteen and eighteen, lose his hat and wear Rosha;39 and 49, paving the streets;Fifty-nine is as hot as a tiger, and sixty-nine walks in the temple;Seventy-nine sixty-three, looking for a sheet in the middle of the night;**Seventy-two, go out and wear a jacket;Ninety-nine eighty-one, every family fights charcoal.
"Summer 99" is from the hot starting point, counting the days and waiting for the arrival of cool weather. This Xi probably originated around the Tang Dynasty and slowly disappeared until modern times.
"Winter ninety-nine" starts from the winter solstice solar terms, the same as the summer counting method, but it is from the apex of the yin to count the days, waiting for the arrival of spring warmth, and the folk "Winter Jiujiu Song" also has the same effect as the summer ninety-nine.
It is believed that "nine" is the largest yang number. The summer solstice is the apex of yang energy, and the ninety-nine number is the process of gradual reduction of yang energy;The winter solstice is the starting point of yang energy, and the ninety-nine number is the process of yang energy enhancement. And the hottest time in summer and the coldest time in winter are during the "39 and 49" period.
2. 2023 "Number Nine Schedule".
According to folk Xi, from the day of the winter solstice, "count nine", every nine days as a unit, until nine nines. On the 10th winter solstice of the 11th lunar month of the lunar calendar this year, the "count of nine" begins on this day. The schedule is as follows:
As you can see from the table, the coldest time of the year is "three.
"Nine, forty-nine" is the end of the eleventh lunar month to the middle of the lunar month of the period of time, the big cold solar term in the tenth month of the lunar month, is the fourth day of the "forty-nine".
The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the lunar month is the last day of the "Five Nine", and there is "" in the folk ninety-nine songsFive-nine-forty-five, open the door to find warmthIt means that there is already warmth in the sun at five or nine o'clock, and you can open the door to bask in the sun.
Sixty-nine fifty-four, willow head evergreen silkIt is said that during the June 9 period, poplars and willows have begun to sprout, and there is already a faint greenery in early spring in nature.
The first day of the "big year" in 2024 is already the seventh day of June and Nine;The Spring Festival holiday is on the ninth day of the first month, and it is already the fifth day of "Seven Nine", and after the annual leave, it will basically reach the stage of "** wild goose".
3. When is the coldest time of the year?
There are also clear records of when it is the coldest time of the year. In the "Jingfang Yi Zhan" of the Western Han Dynasty, there is "".After the winter solstice, it was extremely cold on the 30th", and ".The third day after the winter solstice is the coldest in the lunar month".
This year, 30 days after the winter solstice, is the beginning of the lunar month.
Nine, that is, before and after the great cold, during the forty-nine period;The third day after the winter solstice is the thirteenth day of the lunar month, which is also on the forty-ninth day.
According to the song "Ninety-Nine", the coldest time of the year is in Sanjiu and Forty-nine, which is similar to that recorded in ancient books. In other words, this year's "coldest stage" should end around the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and it should not be too cold during the Spring Festival.
And during the Spring Festival, the beginning of the spring has also passed, and the yang energy has been significantly stronger than the yin energy. Although the early spring is prone to "cold spring" weather, it will be detrimental to the growth of crops, which is another topic. Either way, the cold of spring and the cold of winter are not the same.
