Winter solstice is the most important solar term in health preservation, mainly because "winter solstice is born by the sun". It is the coldest season from the solstice to the severe cold in winter. People with heart disease and high blood pressure often get worse, and the number of people suffering from "stroke" increases, and it is easy to get frostbite in cold weather. The solstice in winter is the natural transformation of yin and yang, and this transformation of yin and yang is the best time to stimulate the rise of human yang.

Shao Kangjie was a famous Neo-Confucianist in Song Dynasty, and also a master of Yi Studies. He said: "On the winter solstice, the heavenly heart has not changed, the sun has just moved, and everything has not been born." The night of the winter solstice is twelve o'clock, which is half of the winter solstice. The mind of heaven remains unchanged, which is the study of flat tide. At this time, yang, the function of life, has just recovered, which is where the sun first moved.

Tianxin has not changed. "Tianxin is a Taoist saying in China's Book of Changes, which represents the truth of life. If you don't change it, you haven't moved. We should grasp it at this time. This time is "the first movement of the sun" and the foundation of life. " When everything is not born, it is what Zen says, which is a very quiet realm.

People live every day of their lives. If they don't need to cultivate themselves, they will make some physiological supplements every day and earn some money back, which will be very unfavorable. Don't think that after one year, you will be one year older, that is, another year of disability and another year of loss. Therefore, Lao Tzu said, "Strong things make you old." It is "unreasonable" that a thing will get old when it is strong, and it will die when it is old. Death is nothing. Death is the beginning of another life.

The solstice in winter is sunny, while the solstice in summer is cloudy. From the solstice in winter to the solstice in summer, the days will get longer and longer. From the solstice in summer to the solstice in winter, the days will get shorter and shorter. Winter belongs to yang, summer belongs to yin, and one yin and one yang cycle, forming the sun-moon cycle of sixty jiazi.

The solstice in winter is divination based on the Book of Changes, and the solstice in summer is divination based on mountains. Ray takes the initiative to be yang, and peeling is falling yin. One is rising and the other is falling, so the winter solstice is born in the sun, with five yin above and one yang below. Complex divination breeds vitality for the revival of everything. Today, I started to count to nine and hit six or nine spring heads. So everything has been alive these two months.

In the Book of Changes, there is spring in summer, long harvest in autumn and storage in winter. The solstice of winter is the season of storage, and storage is not to move the sun, but to keep it. On the solstice of winter, everything in the universe is in a state of neither dynamic nor static. Yang qi is transformed from yin qi. When the sun be the spirit is born, a blue aperture will appear in people's eyes, which is the sun be the spirit of Tai Chi. This light is human life, the life of all things in the universe. Keeping in good health from winter solstice is the effect of one year. Friends, don't miss it!

In the Eight Diagrams of Zhouyi, the winter solstice festival is the first of the 24 solar terms. Why? Because among the six hexagrams, the Yang predicted in Zhouyi is the ninth day, which is a complex divination, which represents the winter festival. Don't think that the frozen winter solstice is the main yin, and the solar term of the winter solstice is actually the solar term that begins at six o'clock when the yang recovers. The secrets and mysteries of heaven and earth are the wisdom of heaven and man of our great ancestors. The solar term from the winter solstice is the earliest of the 24 solar terms, ranging from 0 to 23 in the solar calendar 65438+February 265438. This day is the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere all year round. From this day on, the days slowly lengthen, such as line by line, moving to the summer solstice, and strangely, the gossip from winter solstice is a complex divination. The wisdom implied in this is very profound. The figures of the coldest and hottest solar terms are just the opposite. One yang leads the overall situation from extreme cold to spring, and one yin leads the overall situation from the hottest to winter.

The winter solstice is the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. This is like a turning point. From this day on, the nights are getting shorter and the days are getting longer and longer. The solstice of winter begins the coldest season of the year. After this solar term, the temperature often drops sharply, and the coldest time in winter is here.

The ancients believed that since the winter solstice, the yang of heaven and earth began to flourish and become stronger, representing the beginning of the next cycle, which is a good day. On this day, the wanderer will go home anyway and have a reunion dinner with his parents. Therefore, later, during the Spring Festival, customs such as ancestor worship and family dinners often appeared on the winter solstice.

"Winter Solstice Day" is the 22nd solar term among the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar and the fourth solar term in winter. The "solstice" of winter solstice is the ultimate meaning, and the spirit of winter storage is so extreme.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Meng Yuan's "Tokyo Dream China Record" also recorded:

"November winter solstice. The capital attaches great importance to this festival. Although it is in the hands of the poor, it is easier to get new clothes, prepare meals and enjoy the ancestors in a year. Officials let go and celebrate exchanges, just like the Chinese New Year. "

The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records: "Around the winter solstice, gentlemen lived quietly, and officials refused to listen to politics."

It can be seen that the solstice in winter is not only a grand celebration ceremony, but also a festival, and it is also a good opportunity to cultivate one's morality.
