After the winter solstice of the 24 solar terms in our country, the "counting of nine" ushered in, which is the coldest time of the year. The so-called counting of nine means from nineteen to nine. Nine, the total number of days is ninety-nine and eighty-one. So in 2017, when is Wujiu Li or Wujiu Day? Let’s find out together.
Our country's lunar calendar has the term "Nine-nine", which is used to calculate seasons. The calculation method is to count from the winter solstice in winter (the beginning of the winter solstice is called "Jiaojiu", which means the beginning of cold). Every nine days is a "jiu", the first nine days is called "yijiu", and the second nine days is called "yijiu". It is called "Two Nine", and so on, until "Nine Nine", that is, until the ninth nine days, until nine nine and eighty-one days have been counted. At this time, winter is over and spring has arrived.
The popular "Nine-Nine Songs" in the past were like this: "One-nine-nine-two-nine, don't take action; three-nine-four-nine, walk on the ice; five-nine-six-nine, watch the willows along the river; seven-nine river Open, eight or nine geese are coming; nine or nine plus one and nine, the cattle are everywhere." It has a popular rhyme that is catchy to read and easy to remember.
In ancient times, the number of nines was based on a single day. That is, the winter solstice happened to be a single day in the lunar calendar, so this day was the first day of the first nine days, which was called "Lian Dong Jiu". If it falls on an even day, Then it is postponed one day, starting from the next day, which is called "Dongjiu". From then on, it seems to be a common convention that the number of days in the winter solstice is nine, and it lasts for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. The cold air has completely disappeared and the sun is shining brightly, so it is known as the "nine-nine sunny days".
