Introduction: "The sun rises on the winter solstice, and the cow freezes to death during the New Year", today's winter solstice, is it cold for the New Year this year?
The winter solstice is the 22nd solar term in the 24 solar terms of the mainland lunar calendar, and it is the earliest solar term that has been measured, as early as 2,500 years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was measured by our ancestors with Tugui measurement of the sun.
The explanation of the winter solstice in the "Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order" is: "In the middle of November, the qi of the end is extremely good. It means that the day of the winter solstice is the time when the yin energy converges the heaviest and the yang energy begins to germinate, so it is the beginning of winter.
The winter solstice is an extremely important solar term among the 24 solar terms, and this day is the longest night and the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, so it is also called "the short solstice". After the winter solstice, the direct point of the sun gradually moves northward, and the days in the northern hemisphere gradually become longer.
The ancients divided the 15 days of each solar term into three phases, which were used to more accurately describe the characteristics of the solar terms, and the winter solstice was divided into three phases: one was for the earthworm to knot, the second was for the elk horn to be solved, and the third was for the water spring to move.
It means that "on the first 5 days of the winter solstice solar term, the earthworm intersects to indicate that the climate is cold and cold to the extreme; on the second 5 days of the winter solstice solar term, the moose feels the yang qi and unravels the horns, saying that the antlers are untied; and on the last 5 days of the winter solstice solar term, the water is born by the yang of Tianyi, and the yang is born and moves, and the yang is born at the beginning of this day, so the cloud ear." ”
There is a folk proverb that "the winter moon is earlier in the winter solstice, and the winter is colder", which means that the year when the winter solstice appears earlier often indicates that the winter will be colder that year.
So, how to judge that the winter solstice should be "early and late"?
The winter solstice is the middle of November in the 24th solar term of the lunar calendar, that is, the winter solstice must appear in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, if not, it must be leap one month, so that the winter solstice appears in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, so as to avoid being out of touch with the return year, adapt to the changes of cold and heat, and prevent being out of touch with the four seasons.
The so-called "morning and evening" refers to the corresponding lunar dates, specifically, appearing in the early eleventh lunar month is the "early winter solstice", and appearing in the late eleventh lunar month is the "late winter solstice".
This year's winter solstice is indeed a bit early, appearing on the 10th day of the 11th lunar month, which is earlier than in previous years. According to the folk proverb "the winter solstice is earlier in the winter moon, the colder the winter is", the earlier the winter solstice comes, the colder the whole winter will be.
There is also an old saying that "the sun rises on the winter solstice, and the cow freezes to death during the New Year", which means that if the day of the winter solstice is sunny, then by the time of the New Year, the weather will be very cold, and it is even possible to freeze the cow to death. Of course, an exaggeration is used here, meaning that the winter is colder.
