Extended data
Winter solstice, also known as solstice, winter festival, child year, etc. It has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional folk ancestor worship festival in China. The solstice in winter is one of the eight festivals in four seasons, and it is considered as a big holiday in winter. In ancient times, there was a saying that the winter solstice was as big as a year.
The custom of winter solstice varies in content or details due to different regions. In southern China, there are customs of offering sacrifices to ancestors and enjoying the winter solstice. In northern China, it is a custom to eat jiaozi from winter to Sunday every year.
The winter solstice is the 22nd solar term in the "24 solar terms", and the solar calendar reaches 270 degrees. Every year, the festival is held on 65438+February 2 1-23 in the Gregorian calendar. The solstice in winter is the extreme point of direct sunlight spreading to the south. On the solstice in winter, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the most inclined to the northern hemisphere and the solar altitude angle is the smallest. In all parts of the northern hemisphere, the days are the shortest and the nights are the longest.
The solstice in winter is also a turning point for the sun to return directly to the north. After this day, the direct point of the sun will go back. The direct point of the sun will move northward from the Tropic of Capricorn (23 26' s), and the daylight in the northern hemisphere (China is located in the northern hemisphere) will increase day by day.
In winter solstice, although the sun is low and the days are short, the temperature in winter solstice is not the lowest in meteorology. In fact, because there is still "accumulated heat" on the surface, it is usually not very cold before the winter solstice, and the real cold is after the winter solstice. Because of the great difference in climate in different parts of China, this winter climate is obviously late for most parts of China.
The winter solstice marks the beginning of the cold season, and people begin to count to nine to calculate the cold weather (folk proverb: "The summer solstice is three Geng, and the winter solstice is nine"). The winter solstice, known as the "southern solstice", is a solar term reflecting the direct sunlight movement. On the winter solstice, the sun goes south to the extreme, and the sun shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn. Since the winter solstice, the direct point of the sun has returned to the north. The solstice in winter is the turning point of "going south to north". Since then, the sun has risen in height and the days in the northern hemisphere have increased day by day.
The solstice in winter marks the rebirth of the sun and the round-trip movement of the sun into a new cycle. The solstice in winter is an auspicious day. After the solstice in winter, the days are getting longer and longer and the sun is rising. This is the beginning of a round-trip cycle directly pointed by the sun, which should be celebrated. Hanshu: "The sun shines on the winter solstice, and you are long, so congratulations."
