202 1 1 4 What day is it today?

The specific calculation method is: from winter to Sunday, every "nine days" is counted as a "nine", the first nine days are called "one nine", the second nine days are called "two nine", and so on, and the coldest period in a year is "three nine days, four nine days". Count to "999" 81 days, "nine peach blossoms bloom". At this time, the cold has passed and the weather is warm.

The date of winter solstice every year is Gregorian calendar 65438+February 2 1-23. From the date of winter solstice to the 81st day, that is, the end of March in the solar calendar (around the vernal equinox), it will be the time when "peach blossoms are in full bloom" and "spring is deep and the sun is warm". Because of China's vast territory, the climate varies greatly from place to place, not all over the country. Only some areas in China correspond to the number 9 "998 1 day, 900 peach blossoms, deep in spring and warm in the day".

Extended data

The method of counting nine cold days has a long history and is passed down from mouth to mouth among the people in our country. It has a history and lacks records. As for when it originated, there is no exact information. However, it was popular at least in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the Chronicle of Jingchu, Zong Yi of Liang Chao wrote: "The winter solstice is 998 1 day, which is the end of cold."

In China's traditional philosophy, the ebb and flow of yin and yang, the birth of yang and the extinction of yin symbolize the arrival of warmth and the departure of cold. In traditional culture, nine is the limit number, which is the largest, most and longest concept. Nine nines is eighty-one, which is the "maximum" number. Nine is the number of "Zhiyang", also called Lao Yang, and nine is the largest number. The accumulation of "Zhiyang" means that Yin Qi is decreasing day by day, and it is tired to the end for nine times, which means that the cold is getting warmer and "the spring is already deep".
