SUNWORLD® Culture | 立冬|Beginning of Winter
岁至凛冬,万物诉寒;
朔风始起,一片萧索。
秋丝落尽,曲谱庭幽;
黄叶丹枫,片不沾身。

The beginning of winter is the nineteenth of the 24 solar terms and the beginning of winter. The handle points northwest, the ecliptic longitude of the sun reaches 225°, and it intersects between November 7 and 8 of the Gregorian calendar every year. "Stand, build the beginning; Winter, the end, all things are collected. "The beginning of winter means that the vitality begins to be closed, all things enter a state of recuperation and collection, and its climate also transitions from a rainy and dry autumn to a rainy and freezing winter climate.
Spring planting, summer cultivation, autumn harvest, and winter storage are the laws of nature. Winter is the meaning of "end", that is, the meaning of the collection of all things, after the beginning of winter, all the crops in the field are harvested and sunburned into the warehouse, and the animals are in a hurry, hiding in their nests to avoid the wind and cold. The cold wind blows, everything withers, and people also feel the chill in the night.
