The winter solstice solar term is coming, and according to traditional Chinese Xi, the winter solstice is not only an important solar term, but also regarded as an important festival. On this day, the sun reaches the extreme of its southward rays, with the shortest daylight hours and the longest shadows in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the official beginning of winter. After the winter solstice, the sun gradually returns northward, and yang energy begins to grow slowly. The Xi of eating dumplings on the winter solstice is widely spread among Chinese folklore, meaning warmth and fortune, because the shape of dumplings resembles ears.
On the ninety-nine days after the winter solstice, the weather gradually gets colder, and the cold reaches its peak, which is called "counting nine". According to the agricultural proverb, the snow in the first nine days will indicate that the weather is gradually warming, and the warm weather in the nineteenth day is a good thing, which is beneficial to people's spring plowing and spring planting and the return of overwintering crops. If it rains in the first nine days, it means that there may be more rain and snow in the next nine days, and the benefits of cold winter are good for farmers, as snow can protect crops from frostbite and provide moisture for crop growth. If the weather is warmer during the first nine months, it indicates that there may be cold weather in the third lunar month, which will adversely affect the crops and fruit trees that have returned to green.
