Introduction:"Whether the Spring Festival is cold or not, it depends on the winter solstice", December 22, the winter solstice, the Spring Festival in 2024 is not cold?
The winter solstice is the 22nd of the 24 solar terms, also known as the short solstice, short day, and sun. It is the reaction of the sun leaving the linear line of solar terms, generally on December 21 and 23 of the calendar, when the sun's position reaches the cross-section of 270 degrees of ecliptic longitude.
The winter solstice is the southernmost point where the sun shines directly. On this day, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, and the sunlight is more inclined to the northern hemisphere, with the smallest solar altitude angle and the shortest time for the northern hemisphere to be exposed to the sun. As a result, the days are shortest and the nights are the longest everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere.
In addition, the winter solstice is also the turning point when the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, and after this day, it will"Get back on the road"From the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Cancer, the altitude of the Northern Hemisphere rises again, the sunshine hours increase day by day, and the sun's rays gradually increase.
The winter solstice is a public holiday, also known as:"Winter Festival"、"Grow to knots"、"Ya Sui"Wait. As early as 2,500 years ago, in the Spring and Autumn period, the winter solstice was one of the most important winter festivals"The winter solstice is as big as a year"said.
It is recorded in the Book of Han:"The winter solstice begins with yang energy, and the monarch is long, and it is advisable to congratulate"。It is believed that after the winter solstice, the days are longer than the day, and the yang energy rises, which is the beginning of the solar term cycle and the day of great luck, which should be celebrated.
In short, the winter solstice, which has natural and humanistic connotations, is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional festival for Chinese folk to worship their ancestors.
In the Gregorian calendar, the winter solstice corresponds to a relatively fixed date, usually celebrated between December 21 and 23 of the Gregorian calendar. However, the date of the winter solstice in the lunar calendar is not so fixed.
The winter solstice is in November in the twenty-four solar terms. Therefore, the winter solstice can only occur in the eleventh lunar month. In some years, the winter solstice falls in the first half of the 11th lunar month (early month), in some years the winter solstice is in the middle of the 11th lunar month (mid-month), and in some years the winter solstice is in the second half of the 11th lunar month (late month).
This year's winter solstice is unusual, the cross-section is on the first ten days of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, which coincides with the first day of the moon (New Moon), and is also known as the (early winter solstice) in folklore.
This year's winter solstice has arrived, in the folk,"The Spring Festival is not cold, look at the day of the winter solstice"。So"The Spring Festival 2024 is cold"What does that mean?Let's take a look at what the agricultural proverbs left by our ancestors say!
1. On the winter solstice, frost and snow are blind every year.
This agricultural proverb is not difficult to understand: if the winter solstice falls on these days at the beginning of the 11th lunar month, it indicates that the end of the year will be cold. In other words, when the Spring Festival arrives, the weather will be a little colder than usual.
In accordance with"Number nine"It is said that the coldest time is 3949, and it was not until 6979 before the Spring Festival that the weather began to warm up. If it doesn't warm up, it's also very cold, a sign of it"Pour the spring cold"The arrival of crops is not conducive to the return of crops and the beginning of spring ploughing.
Second, the winter solstice stays in the sun, and the cattle freeze to death during the New Year.
This proverb is used exaggeratedly"Frozen cows"to describe the cold weather.
The meaning of this proverb is that if the winter solstice is a sunny day, it indicates that the weather will be very cold during the New Year, and even the livestock in the family may be"Freeze to death", which means that the Spring Festival will be colder than usual.
If there is frost on the winter solstice, it will snow on Chinese New Year's Eve.
The literal meaning of this agricultural proverb is that if there is a frost on the winter solstice of the New Year, there is a high probability of heavy snowfall, indicating that the Spring Festival is cold.
Fourth, the winter solstice is at the beginning of the month, and the great cold is at the end of the year;The winter solstice is at the end of the month, and the great cold is in the first month"。
This agricultural proverb is to the effect that if the winter solstice falls in the first half of the 11th lunar month, it will be relatively cold during the Spring FestivalIf the winter solstice falls in the second half of the 11th lunar month, it will be relatively warm during the Spring Festival.
This year's winter solstice falls on the 10th day of the 11th lunar month, which coincides with the beginning of the year, and according to agricultural proverbs, this year's Spring Festival may be colder than usual.
Of course, agricultural proverbs were produced by the ancients under the conditions of the time, and they have a certain regionality, so the agricultural proverbs in many areas cannot be generalized, and can be simply referenced, and cannot be used as the basis for judging the current weather forecast of weather conditions. When forecasting the weather, we also need to make judgments based on local climatic conditions and weather forecasts.
