每年的公历11月7~8日,我们会迎来立冬这一节气。立冬是二十四节气中的第19个节气,也是冬季的第一个节气,寓意着冬天的开始。《说文解字》中将“冬”字解释为“四时尽也”,即把冬季看作一年四个季节的终点。立冬时节的到来,敲响了“万物收藏”的第一声钟响。
Every year,on November 7th to 8th of the Gregorian calendar,we usher in the solar term known as Lidong,or the Beginning of Winter.It is the 19th of the 24 solar terms and marks the beginning of winter.In Shuowen Jiezi(Origin of Chinese Characters),the Chinese dictionary compiled during the Eastern Han Dynasty,the character for"winter"is interpreted as"the end of the four seasons",which positions winter as the culminating point of the year's seasonal progression.The arrival of Lidong signals the first chime for the"harvesting of all things"
