The old man often says that "the winter solstice comes early, and you don't wear a jacket during the Spring Festival", will it be cold during the Spring Festival in 2024?
As we all know, there are 24 solar terms in China, and the winter solstice is also an important solar term among the 24 solar terms. The arrival of the winter solstice means that the daylight hours will be shortened throughout the country, and when the daylight hours are shortened, long nights will appear. In fact, this is also a normal natural phenomenon, after all, the winter solstice is also the starting point of the sun's return, and it also means that the sun will carry out a new round of operation. Because of this, the winter solstice was regarded as an auspicious day in the eyes of the ancients.
Normally, the winter solstice usually occurs in the 11th month of the lunar calendar. But not all winter solstice days occur exactly at the same time. For example, in 2023, the winter solstice will be on the 10th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, and in 2022, the winter solstice will be on November 29 of the lunar calendar. If you push back further, you will find that the days are different. Although the lunar calendar dates are different, the solar calendar day is December 22.
It is precisely because of the difference in the corresponding days that there is a saying of early winter solstice and late winter solstice, and in the eyes of the older generation, the arrival of the winter solstice will also affect the temperature change in the future. So there is also a saying: "The winter solstice comes early, and the Spring Festival does not wear a jacket", so how to distinguish between the early winter solstice and the late winter solstice?This question is also something that many friends want to know, in fact, the method of judging in winter is also very simple.
If the intersection of the winter solstice is in the beginning of November of the lunar calendar, then it will be called the early winter solstice. If it is in the late November of the lunar calendar, it will be called the late winter solstice. Correspondingly, the temperature will be warmer on the early winter solstice, and you don't need to wear too thick during the Spring Festival, you can spend it. In the late winter solstice, the temperature will be colder, and when the Spring Festival comes, you need to add more clothes. So will the Spring Festival in 2024 be an early winter solstice or a late winter solstice?We need to look at the time of the winter solstice.
According to the calendar data, this year's winter solstice is on the tenth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, which happens to be in early November, so this year's winter solstice can be regarded as an early winter solstice. Now that we know that this year is the early winter solstice, then we can understand the saying that "the winter solstice comes early, and you don't wear a jacket during the Spring Festival". From this, we can also understand that the older generation is indeed more concerned about weather changes than we modern people.
The reason for this situation is not difficult to understand, after all, in the era of the older generation, almost all rely on farming, since it is a farming industry, the dependence on the weather is also particularly serious, if the temperature is too low, it will also have a serious impact on the growth of crops, and even affect the yield of crops. However, if you can predict it in advance, you can prevent weather changes as early as possible to avoid problems such as hunger and cold.
However, some people say that the current climate change is a bit difficult to understand, and it is difficult to judge using the old colloquialism. Even if it is the late winter solstice, there is no need to worry about the weather being too cold, after all, the impact of global warming is also very large, which makes the temperature in winter no longer as cold as before, and the situation of freezing to death has begun to become less and less, but even if the temperature rises, we still need to take corresponding measures to keep warm.
