The weather is good during the winter solstice, how is the weather during the Chinese New Year?

According to the sayings "A refreshing winter solstice brings a sloppy year, and a sloppy winter solstice brings a refreshing year" and "Winter solstice rains in sunny years, winter solstice warms spring festival cold", it can be seen that if the weather is good during the winter solstice, the weather during the Chinese New Year may be relatively bad.

The winds are different in ten miles, and the customs are different in hundreds of miles. The common sayings about the winter solstice climate in different places are slightly different. In the Jiangxi area, there is a saying: "The winter solstice is refreshing in the sloppy year, and the sloppy winter solstice is refreshing in the year." It can be seen that the weather conditions at the winter solstice are opposite to those during the Spring Festival. If the weather is better during the winter solstice, the weather during the Spring Festival will be relatively worse.

The winter solstice is a very important solar term in China. According to observations and experiments by meteorologists, the period of the year with the most precipitation is almost always under the influence of typhoons and other weather events in summer. Therefore, to a certain extent, whether it rains on the winter solstice can still predict the local precipitation throughout the year. This is probably also the origin of the saying "it will be clear in the winter solstice and it will rain in the new year; it will rain in the winter solstice and it will be clear in the new year".

However, we cannot believe too much in these old sayings, because the weather conditions in different places are naturally different due to different regional conditions. In southern areas, such as the Jiangnan area, rains often fall after the Spring Festival on sunny days during the winter solstice; but in northern areas, it is uncertain.

Introduction to the Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice is a very important solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar and a very important festival in Chinese traditional culture. The winter solstice falls between December 21st and 23rd in the Gregorian calendar every year. On the day of the winter solstice, the sun reaches 270 degrees of ecliptic longitude, and the sunlight at the northernmost point on the earth is most oblique, making the days shorter and nights longer in the northern hemisphere.

The winter solstice is the earliest solar term among the twenty-four solar terms in China, and it is also the only solar term that begins with "子" in the geographical position. The origin of the winter solstice can be traced back to the ancient "Nian". At that time, people would hold grand sacrificial ceremonies on the day of the winter solstice to welcome the new year. Therefore, the winter solstice is not only a solar term, but also a manifestation of cultural traditions and folk customs.
