What is the weather like in January?

The weather in the first month is still warm, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is large.

January of the lunar calendar, also known as the first month, is the beginning of the lunar year. Ying Zheng is taboo and renamed Duanyue. Legally, there are too many months to establish lunar calendar and month. ? In the first month or the middle of the first month, in most cases it only starts in spring (a small part of beginning of spring is in the second half of the twelfth month).

The first month is the off-season in the north, and it is also the month to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. In customs, the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month is usually called the Spring Festival. In ancient China, the first month was also called Yin Jian, Meng Chun, Yangyue, Taiqun, Taiyue and Wangchun.

Interesting customs:

Because "Chinese New Year is celebrated in the first month", there are many interesting customs in the first month, such as New Year greetings, walking away from all diseases, playing social fires, sending the poor to meet the God of Wealth, solve riddles on the lanterns, Lantern Festival and so on. In addition to these customs, there are some "old practices" in the first month, such as not shaving your head, not buying shoes, not getting married, not seeing a doctor, not sewing, not going far away, not moving, and so on.

Wang Laihua said that these "old examples" are old customs and habits accumulated by the people for a long time. Some of them are superstitious, but they can't all be simply regarded as feudal superstitions. It also reflects people's psychology of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. Of course, with the development of the times and the renewal of people's concepts, these "old examples" are being broken, reflecting the civilization and progress of society.
