The eighteenth day of the winter month of this year's lunar calendar is the winter solstice, and the winter solstice is the dividing line of winter, representing that winter is about to pass halfway, so will it be cold before the winter solstice? As the old saying goes, "If it's not cold, just look at the fourteenth day of the winter month", what does it mean? The day after tomorrow is the fourteenth day of the winter month, what is the saying?
What are the characteristics of the fourteenth winter month?
I. "Closed Day"
In the "Book of History and Heavenly Officials", it is said: "The dou is the imperial car, transported in the central government, and the four townships are controlled." Divided into yin and yang, when the four are built, all five elements, moving the degree of knots, and fixing the ages, all are tied to the bucket." As the Earth rotates, the Handle of the Big Dipper is also moving, once a year. Bucket handle refers to the east, the world is spring; bucket handle guide, the world is summer; bucket handle refers to the west, the world is autumn; bucket handle refers to the north, the world is winter.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter four seasons, each season has "Meng Zhongji" three months, twelve months a year, the Big Dipper's handle runs once a year, after the spring back to the Yin position, called Jianyin. Therefore, the first month of Jianyin, February Jianji, May Jianwu, winter moon Jianzi, the so-called "construction" refers to the point of the Big Dipper's handle.
The winter moon is the month of Jianzi, that is to say, the child day of the winter month is the founding day, then the ugly day is the day of removal, the yin day is the full day, the day of the sea is the closed day, and the day after the sea is the closing day of the sub-month. Closed days and construction days are next to each other, and after closing days is the construction day, which represents the meaning of stubbornness and blockage, and is also the last of the twelve founding stars, representing the time when the old and the new alternate.
Second, the cold air gathers
Among the four seasons, the spring moon, the summer noon moon, the autumn unitary moon, the winter sub-moon represents the strongest month among the four seasons, and the sub-day of the sub-moon represents the intersection of the sub-moon forces, and is also the lord of the whole winter, the closer this day is to the day, the stronger the strength.
This year, the fifteenth day of the winter month is the day of Gengzi, and it is also the first sub-day of the sub-month, which is close to the day of looking, and its strength is particularly strong, and the forces on both sides will move closer to that day. Since there is no child day in the first half of the sub-month, it means that the power of the entire first half of the winter will move closer to that day, and the place where it converges is before the sub-day, that is, the fourteenth day of the winter month.
Winter belongs to water, water represents the cold of winter, and a large number of cold water before the fifteenth day of winter is gathered in the fourteenth of winter, which means that that day is the coldest day before the "sub-day" of winter this year. This means that from the beginning of winter to the "sub-day" of the fifteenth day of the winter month, the fourteenth day of the winter month is the coldest, that is, the day after.
Three, three will become water
The three months of winter are haiyue, sub-moon and ugly moon, haiyue is the month of water power enhancement, sub-moon represents the strongest water, ugly moon is the month of water weakening and disappearing, so "Haizi ugly" will become the water of the north. In fact, it is not easy for Haizi ugly to know water, it must be close to three, and the earth branch of the moon order must be one of the three.
The fourteenth day of the winter month is the ugly year, the sub-month, the sea day, perfectly will become water, and the earth branch of the moon is the child, the sub-month is the month with the strongest water power, so the power of the water in the day after tomorrow is particularly strong, the water represents the cold of winter, and the stronger the water, the colder the weather. And it is a closed day, which means that the water that comes together is closed, neither rising nor falling, lifeless, a kind of dry cold.
Therefore, the day after tomorrow is the coldest day since the beginning of winter this year, especially the three hours of "Haizi Ugly" at night, to say how cold it is, but compared to the winter this year, to the fifteenth, in this period of time, it is the coldest day. Because the fifteenth day of the winter month is the child day of the sub-month, after the fifteenth, it is another matter.
