What month does Xiaoyangchun in China refer to?

For a long time, China used the "summer calendar" to call 1 1 month as the beginning of the year. Traditionally, 1 1 month is called "Xiaoyangchun".

"Xiaoyangchun" originally refers to the beginning of the winter solstice and the light snow festival, which is the month of the lunar calendar. Because of China's long-term use of the "summer calendar", the October of the summer calendar (lunar calendar) corresponds to the Mengdonghai month of the dry calendar, and it is customary to call the October of the lunar calendar "Xiaoyangchun".

The months with "Xiaoyangchun" climate are also called early winter, Mongolian winter, Shang winter, Kai winter, Kun moon, Yang moon and Hai moon, which correspond to October of the lunar calendar. Xiaoyangchun refers to a month in October of the lunar calendar.

In early winter, the height of the sun in the northern hemisphere becomes smaller, the daylight time is shortened, and the amount of solar radiation obtained by the northern hemisphere is less and less. However, due to the heat stored on the surface and some energy in the second half of this year, it is generally not very cold in winter (early winter) in southern China. In some places, sunny, warm and comfortable October "Xiaoyangchun" weather often occurs when there is no wind, so Meng Dong is called "Xiaoyangchun".
