It is worth noting that because the earth is near its perihelion around the winter solstice and moves slightly faster, the time the sun shines directly on the southern hemisphere is about 8 days shorter than the time it shines directly on the northern hemisphere in a year. Therefore, the winter in the northern hemisphere is slightly shorter than the summer. The ancients said: When yin reaches its extreme, yang begins to be born, the sun reaches its southernmost point, the day is at its shortest, and the shadow is at its longest, so it is called "Winter Solstice". The ancients believed that from the winter solstice, the yang energy of heaven and earth began to rise and become stronger, that is, the next cycle began. The winter solstice is when yang is born and the yang energy of heaven and earth rises, which is a "lucky day."

It was formed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The 24 solar terms are determined based on the sun's movement cycle, so the dates of the 24 solar terms are all based on the Gregorian calendar. |
