from: Du Fu's Xiao Zhi
Translation: The solar terms in nature and shu events in the world are urging each other day by day. When the winter solstice comes, the sun is the first to move, and spring is coming soon.
2. Every winter solstice in Handan Post, I am accompanied by a knee-hugging lamp.
From: Bai Juyi's
Translation: When I lived in Handan Inn, it happened to be the Winter Solstice Festival, and I could only tuck my knees in front of the lamp and accompany my own shadow.
3. The window is cold and shallow. Do everything possible to add a glimmer of hope. You must swim while holding a candle. The reduced copper pot was raised last night.
From: Ruan Yue's
Translation: After the winter solstice, the weather gets warmer and the chill is less. The shadow length is getting shorter and shorter, and the red line for measuring the shadow of the sun is also getting shorter. Starting from today, the time-keeping copper clepsydra that you carry when you enjoy the tour by candlelight at night will also reduce your chips.
4. There is no reason to see the beauty, but the coldness is not amiable.
From: Bai Juyi's Winter Solstice Night with Xiang Ling
How can you stand the longest cold night of the year, not to mention that you and I are both lonely and insomnia people.
5. The slight sunshine at the bottom of the well has not returned, and the rustling, cold rain, wet and withered.
From: Su Shi's Lonely Visit to Jixiang Temple on the Winter Solstice
At this time, the heating at the bottom of the water will return, and the earth is still cold and chilly, and the cold rain is rustling, wetting the grass roots on the ground.
