1. "The Beginning of Winter"

The King of the Ming Dynasty Zhideng

The autumn wind blew away the old courtyard, and the yellow leaves and red maples passed by.

A little Zen lantern lights up the half-moon. It’s colder tonight than last night.

2. "The Beginning of Winter"

Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty

I am lazy to write new poems with frozen pen, and the wine is warm in the cold furnace.

Drunkenly looking at the ink flowers and the white moon, I feel like the village in front of me is filled with snow.

3. "The Frost on the Day Before the Beginning of Winter Feels About Chrysanthemums"

Song Qianshi

Last night the frost was cold and the catkins were cold, and the steps were covered with red leaves.

The west wind has swept away the garden, but only the yellow flowers live up to the autumn.

The beginning of winter means entering the cold season, and people tend to eat foods that can ward off the cold. The beginning of winter, commonly known as "Jiaodong" in Fujian, means the turn of autumn and winter, and the beginning of winter "makes up for winter". In the Chaoshan area of ??Guangdong, sugar cane and fried rice are eaten at the beginning of winter.

In Shantou, people eat fragrant rice made with lotus seeds, shiitake mushrooms, chestnuts, shrimps, carrots, etc. at the beginning of winter. These are also warm foods. In the north, the custom at the beginning of winter is to eat dumplings. Because the dumplings look like ears, people think that eating them will protect the ears from the cold in winter.

At the beginning of winter, the high-altitude westerly jet stream has been fully established in southern Asia. At this time, the strength and eastward movement of the southern branch of high-altitude westerly winds have a great impact on the precipitation weather in the Jianghuai region.

When the Asian region forms a zonal circulation and the south branch of the westerly fluctuates strongly, widespread rainy weather will occur. In addition, the zonal circulation will end and the meridional circulation will be established, and there will be cold waves and substantial cooling. Around the beginning of winter, precipitation decreases significantly in most areas of China.
