今天18時02分冬至
「數九寒天」的開始
這是2020年最後一個節氣
我們離新年不遠啦！
冬至是我國農曆中一個非常重要的節氣，也是一個傳統節日，至今不少地方仍有過冬至節的習俗。
Winter solsticeis a very important solar term in Chinese Lunar calendar. Being a traditional holiday as well, it is still now celebrated quite often in many regions.
在二十四節氣中，冬至節是被最早制定出來的一個，時間約在每年12月22日至23日左右.
Early during the Spring and Autumn period, 2500 old years from now, Winter solstice was first determined as the Chinese traditional solar term among the total 24 terms. In Gregorian calendar, it is around Dec 22nd or 23rd.
冬至是北半球全年中白天最短、黑夜最長的一天，過了冬至，白天就會一天天變長，各地氣候都進入一個最寒冷的階段。
Midwinter day is the day in North hemisphere with the shortest day and longest night year-round. After it, daytime will become increasingly longer and the coldest clime will invade all the places on the Northern part of the globe.
冬至過後將迎來一年中最寒冷的氣候，也就是中國人常說的「進九」，我國民間有「冷在三九，熱在三伏」的說法。
Chinese always call it "JinJiu", which means once Winter solstice comes, we will meet the coldest time ahead.
北方地區有冬至吃餃子、吃餛飩的習俗，南方地區在這一天則有吃冬至米糰、冬至長線面的習慣。各個地區在冬至這一天還有祭天祭祖的習俗。
Northerners may have dumplings and wonton that day while southerners may have dumplings made by rice and long noodles. Some places even have the tradition to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth.
今天你是吃餃子還是吃湯圓呢？
