Lidong is the nineteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms. The handle points to the northwest and the sun’s yellow longitude reaches 225°. Lidong is a seasonal solar term, which means that winter has entered since then. Li, the beginning of the establishment; winter, the end, the collection of all things. Lidong means that anger begins to close, and everything enters a state of recuperation and collection. Its climate also changes from a dry and rainy autumn to a cold and rainy winter climate.
After the beginning of winter, the duration of sunshine will continue to shorten, and the height of the sun will continue to decrease at noon. Because the heat stored on the surface still has a certain amount of energy, it is generally not very cold in the early winter; as time goes by, the cold air activity gradually becomes more frequent, and the temperature decline trend accelerates.
Lidong is the first solar term in winter and represents the beginning of winter. Lidong is also one of the seasonal nodes that the people of our country attach great importance to. It is the time to enjoy a bumper harvest and recuperate. Through the recuperation in winter, we look forward to the prosperity of life in the coming year. Lidong was one of the “four seasons and eight festivals” in ancient society. It was a very important festival. In some areas of our country, there were customs such as ancestor worship and banquets.
