Climatic characteristics of beginning of winter.
In ancient China, beginning of winter was divided into three periods, once every five days: when the ice started, the water waited; The second waiting place began to freeze; Waiting for the flood is a cockroach. "This kind of solar water can already form ice; The land also began to freeze.
In the third stage, pheasant refers to a big bird similar to pheasant, and pheasant is a big clam. After beginning of winter, big birds like pheasants were rare, but you can see big clams with similar lines and colors at the seaside. Therefore, the ancients thought that pheasants would become big clams in early winter.
Understanding "beginning of winter" can't just stay in the sense of beginning of winter. Tracing back to the source, the ancient people's understanding of "establishment" is the same as that of modern people, both of which mean establishment and beginning.
But the word "winter" is not so simple. The interpretation of "winter" in the ancient book "Twenty-four solar terms" is: "Winter is the end, and everything is harvested", which means that all the crops in autumn are harvested and put into storage, and all the animals are hiding and hibernating. Beginning of winter means that at the beginning of winter, everything is collected to keep out the cold.
