In the confusion of cooperating with immune system to fight against the new coronavirus, I had a relatively good sleep last night. When I woke up, I suddenly found that today is the winter solstice. Time flies so fast. The countdown to December is about to end, and 2022 is almost over! Fortunately, I finally got out of the epidemic temporarily in 2022...

Today is the winter solstice

The winter solstice has always been regarded as a big festival in winter. There is a saying among the people that "the winter solstice is as big as the New Year", which shows that everyone attaches great importance to this festival. On the other hand, it should also mean that the New Year will be celebrated soon after the winter solstice. In our hometown, we have to eat dumplings today, because the cold winter starts nine days after the winter solstice. Eating dumplings on the winter solstice can guarantee that your ears will not be frozen, so you have to eat a warm meal of dumplings on the winter solstice no matter what. In Shanghai , today, I made glutinous rice balls with plasticine with the child who had recovered from the fever, and told her the origin of the winter solstice and related customs, so as to comfort her during the days when she could not go out due to illness.

Eating dumplings on the Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice is the 22nd solar term among the twenty-four solar terms . Yes, it is about to count to 24. It is almost the end of the year. On the winter solstice, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn , which is the extreme southward direction of the sun's direct point. Therefore, the sun's rays are most tilted towards the northern hemisphere, and the solar altitude angle is the smallest. It is the day with the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. Today is also the turning point for the sun's direct point to return north. After this day, it will "turn back". From then on, the daylight hours in the northern hemisphere will gradually increase day by day. As the saying goes, "Eating the winter solstice rice, one day grows longer", and spring is slowly returning...

Winter Solstice Yang Shengchun comes again

On the winter solstice, although the sun is low and the day is short, meteorologically speaking, the temperature of the winter solstice is not the lowest. In fact, because there is still "accumulated heat" on the earth's surface, it is usually not very cold before the winter solstice, and the real severe cold occurs after the winter solstice. The winter solstice marks the coming of the cold season. "The summer solstice is three months, and the winter solstice is nine." From this, people begin to " count nine" and "" count the cold weather until "the yellow dog lies in the shade of the flower."

Today’s antigen self-test has returned to the first line, but it is said that I need to take good care of myself to avoid causing any diseases. It coincides with the arrival of another cliff-like cooling wave, so I endured not washing my hair until it was thorough before cleaning it. Why does it sound like confinement? But I have to lament the power of this virus : It's already the fourth day, I still have a headache, a bad cough, stuffy nose, general weakness, I don't want to move, I just want to sleep... I guess I am a lazy sheep [I want to be quiet]

At present, I can be regarded as the Condor Hero, I don't know whether to be happy or worried. But it’s a pain for the children. Two children started to have a fever today. I went to the Internet hospital and bought a bunch of anti-inflammatory cough medicines. There were no antipyretics because the internal medicine clinic does not prescribe antipyretics. Antipyretics are currently exclusive to the fever clinic , and the maximum is 15ml per person. The online appointment for the fever clinic has been queued until next Tuesday. I am discouraged and can only count on antipyretic patches and general cold medicine...
