At 11:27 on December 22, there will be one of the 24 solar terms: the winter solstice.
The winter solstice is the beginning of the number nine cold winters, which means the arrival of the real midwinter.
The winter solstice counts nine, which means that it starts from the winter solstice every year, takes this day as one, begins to count nine, the ninth day is nineteen, and the next nine days are twenty-nine, and so on, until the end of ninety-nine, spring comes.
As the saying goes, "the winter solstice is as big as the year", it can be seen that the winter solstice is a very important day, and for the people of Hangzhou, the ritual sense of the winter solstice is also sufficient.
First of all, whether the winter solstice is sunny or rainy, everyone is very concerned, because there is a saying in the old foundation: "The winter solstice is rotten, and the winter solstice rain must be sunny every year", is there any scientific basis for this?
The Hangzhou Meteorological Observatory once said that at least as far as Hangzhou is concerned, there is no obvious reverse relationship between the winter solstice weather and the New Year's weather. According to the statistics of the precipitation of the winter solstice and the Spring Festival in the decade from 2008 to 2017, it was found that only half of the time the winter solstice was negatively correlated with the sunny and rainy days of the Spring Festival, that is, it was consistent with the proverb, indicating that the accuracy rate of the proverb was 50%.
Secondly, the old Hangzhou people said: "If you want to see the night of the winter solstice", not only because the winter solstice is the longest night of the year, but also because it is said that the dream of the "winter solstice night" is very accurate.
Then the question arises: Is the night of the winter solstice the night before the winter solstice, or the night of the day of the winter solstice? Hangzhou people generally believe that it is the night before the winter solstice. In the "Qing Jialu" record, on the night of the winter solstice, people are going to get together to eat and drink, "the night before the festival, commonly called 'winter solstice night'." It was night, and people drank it faster, which was called 'festival wine'. ”
In ancient times, many people would come to Yu Qian's Temple to spend the night on the night of the winter solstice and pray for Yu Gong's dreams. According to the Qing Dynasty Fan Zushu's "Hangzhou Customs and Relics": "The night before the winter solstice. Those who want to rest their lives will go to the temple to stay overnight, and after they have a dream, they can explain it in detail."
As far as this year's winter solstice night weather is concerned, whether it is tonight or tomorrow night, it is one word: the weather is cold and the ground is freezing.
Although the highest temperature in Hangzhou exceeded 0 °C today, the temperature was below 0 °C for 16 hours from 20 o'clock last night to 12 noon today. Tomorrow the daytime high temperature is 3°C, and tomorrow morning the minimum temperature is -5°C, with severe freezing.
So this year, this sentence will probably be changed: "to see (below zero) winter solstice night", so cold, whether it is the night before the winter solstice, or the night of the winter solstice is very suitable for early morning sleep.
Next is the "what to eat on the winter solstice".
In the past, the old Hangzhou people who paid attention to the winter solstice to worship their ancestors would buy rice cakes, oranges, and water chestnuts one day in advance to worship their ancestors on the first day of the winter solstice, and they also paid attention to eating rice cakes on the day of the winter solstice. Until now, Hangzhou people still have the Xi of eating rice cakes on the winter solstice, it is said that on the day of the winter solstice, the most extreme way for Hangzhou people to eat is osmanthus rose sugar rice cake for breakfast, fried rice cake with shredded winter shoot meat at noon, and rice cake with oil winter vegetable soup at night.
Tonight, many people in the orange circle have begun to bask in the winter solstice food and share the winter solstice Xi customs,
