What is the date of early winter this year?

The commonly used methods of season division mainly include "solar terms method" and "temperature method". China traditionally takes the "beginning of winter" with "twenty-four solar terms" as the beginning of winter; The winter divided by the "solar terms law" means that everything enters a state of recuperation. According to the "temperature method", winter begins when the average temperature of the day falls steadily below 10℃ for five consecutive days. Winter divided by temperature means cold weather.

Beginning of winter, which represents the beginning of winter, is one of the seasonal nodes that China people attach great importance to. Spring ploughing, summer harvest and winter storage, winter is the season to enjoy bumper harvest and rest. Beginning of winter is also one of the "four seasons and eight festivals" in ancient society, and it is a very important festival. In some parts of China, there are customs such as ancestor worship and drinking.

The custom of beginning of winter

Beginning of winter means that anger begins to close, and everything enters a state of physical support and collection.

In the north, the rule in early winter is to eat jiaozi, because jiaozi looks like ears. People think that if you eat them, your ears won't catch a cold in winter. In addition, jiaozi's homonym "jiaozi" means that winter begins at the turn of autumn and winter.

Meanwhile, have you ever heard of the proverb "beginning of winter fills the winter and fills the mouth"?

On this day in early winter, chickens and sheep are slaughtered or supplemented with other nutrients.

After the arrival of beginning of winter, the days became shorter and the nights became longer. I suggest you go to bed early and get up late, and don't be overworked. Only by sleeping well can you have more energy to deal with a cold.
