一起来了解一下关于立冬的8个小常识。

 

 

Beginning of winter or not

立冬标志着冬季的开始?未必。

 

In ancient times, the Chinese people took the Start of Winter to be the beginning of the winter. However in fact, the Start of Winter is not the beginning of winter in terms of meteorology. The climate every year is different, so the beginning of winter could be quite different. And with the vast territory of China, winter of every area doesn’t begin at the same time.

在古代,中国人认为立冬节气代表着冬季的开始。事实上,从气象学上看,立冬这天不一定就是冬季的开始。每年的气候都不一样,因此冬季开始的时间也大不相同。中国的国土这么辽阔,各个地区的冬季也不是在同一时间来临。
