The winter solstice is here!
When the sun hides in the arms of the night
The moonlight caressed the snow
The light that flows out is as bright as day
Unconsciously
The end of the year has come
Today at 23:59
We usher in the winter solstice
"To" has the ultimate meaning
On this day the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer
It is a year all over the Northern Hemisphere
The day with the shortest day and the longest night
The atmosphere of winter hiding is so extreme
The day of the winter solstice
Make a cup of tea
Listen to an ancient song
Feel the white expanse of the world
Accumulate the power of life
Since the winter solstice
We officially entered the "number nine" day
1929 did not shoot
Walk on ice in 3949
Five-nine-six-nine along the river to see the willows
Seven or nine rivers open, eight or nine geese come
Nine nine plus one nine, ploughing cattle everywhere
There are different versions of "Nine Nine Songs" everywhere
But all are vividly documented
Phenological changes from the winter solstice to the spring equinox of the following year
There are three seasons of the winter solstice
A waiting earthworm knot
Earthworms curl up and hug for warmth
Wait for the next year to warm up in the spring
It became once again the cultivator of the earth
Be diligent and hardworking
Second Elk Horn Solution
The ossified old horns of the male elk begin to fall off
New horns then grow
Year after year, the changes alternate
The horn records the wind and frost of the years
It is also their fragrance
Three waiting for the water to move
Even though it was still cold, the frost solidified
The bottom of the spring is darkly surging
If tomorrow the small building east wind
It's them that melt the ice and snow
Winter solstice poems
Ages
Winter always brings endless reverie
"Spring is not ice, winter solstice snow is sunny."
As a newspaper guest, Feng Nian Rui has become a success. ”
——(Tang) Yang Ning's "Snow Qing"
Practice blowing and slowly watering
That's it in winter
Spring is nurtured with care
"The intestines are not broken, the sideburns are first, and the new ones are thin and strong."
The sound of the horn blows through the small plum blossoms, and the night long people remember home. ”
——(Song) An excerpt from Zhao Changqing's "Ruan Lang Gui Ke Zhong Mei"
Whether it's viewing
A beautiful fairy tale accompanied by stars and moons
Or see
A lone plum blossom on a snowy night
What a view
None of them are home
"The wind is back together to make a dance, and the sky can blossom in an instant."
Just make the cold to the bone, may wish to peach and plum with age. ”
——(Song) Huang Tingjian's Excerpt from Wing Xue Bong Cheng Guang Ping Gong
Even though it was freezing outside the window
Even stepping on snow can turn into ice
Footsteps of spring
There will always be years passing
Quietly come to you and me
Winter solstice customs
Since the winter solstice, the yang of heaven and earth has gradually strengthened
Represents the start of the next loop
Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year"
On this day, people worship the ancestors of He Dong
Celebrate the arrival of the new year
"When the winter solstice arrives, every household eats dumplings."
This day of the winter solstice of the lunar calendar every year
Dumplings are essential holiday meals
An old and interesting saying is
It is cold in winter and it is easy to freeze your ears
And dumplings are like "ears"
Eating dumplings on the winter solstice can be protected
"Frozen Ears"
The Winter Solstice Festival is the same as many festivals
There are also many customs in the folk of old Beijing
Winter solstice, eat ravioli
In the past, old Beijing used to say "winter solstice wontons and summer solstice noodles". In the old Beijing, on the day of the winter solstice, we ate not dumplings, but wontons, representing the "beginning of chaos". Because the wontons are chaotic, which means that they are confused and do not open their minds, they say that eating wontons is "beneficial to be smart".
The days and hours of personnel are urged, and the winter solstice is yangsheng spring and spring are coming again, "Time is hurried, the winter solstice does not eat, when to stay? In the northern region, there is a custom of slaughtering sheep on the winter solstice, eating dumplings, and eating wontons.
Winter solstice, send shoes and socks
The winter solstice is also known as the "Long Walking Festival", and the gift of shoes and socks to the elders has the auspicious meaning of prolonging life. Old Beijing would send shoes to relatives on this day, and would also visit the door to boast about the new shoes and hats they received.
Young juniors give new shoes and socks to the elderly in time to help the elderly survive the winter; this custom is not only the filial piety expressed to the elders by the younger generations, but its more important significance is to enable the elderly to keep pace with the times with new steps and live a long and healthy life through such a dedication ceremony.
Winter solstice, number nine
From the winter solstice day counting, the so-called "continuous winter from nine", every nine days is one nine, to nine nine eighty-one days and cold, spring back to the earth, the weather warms, this is called "counting nine". This is a way for ordinary Chinese people to calculate the changes in cold and heat, and express the mood of looking forward to spring.
For a long time, folk in various places have circulated many "nine nine cold songs" or "winter solstice nine nine songs" and "counting nine songs" that reflect the local meteorological phenology of the local area. The "Nine-Nine Songs" in various places are not only seasonal proverbs, but also songs that reflect the lives of working people.
