Infact,theStartofWinterisnotthebeginningofwinterintermsofmeteorology.Theclimateeveryyearisdifferent,sothebeginningofwintercouldbequitedifferent.AndwiththevastterritoryofChina,wintertimestartsatdifferenttimesindifferentareas.

事實(shí)上，從氣象學(xué)上講，立冬并非冬天的開(kāi)始。每年的氣候都是不一樣的，因而冬天開(kāi)始的時(shí)間也會(huì)有所差異。由于中國(guó)幅員遼闊，每個(gè)地區(qū)的冬季也不會(huì)在同一時(shí)間開(kāi)始。Beginningofwinterornot

立冬是否是冬天的開(kāi)始？Inancienttimes,theChinesepeopletooktheStartofWintertobethebeginningofthewinter.Howeverinfact,theStartofWinterisnotthebeginningofwinterintermsofmeteorology.Theclimateeveryyearisdifferent,sothebeginningofwintercouldbequitedifferent.AndwiththevastterritoryofChina,winterofeveryareadoesn’tbeginatthesametime.在古代，中國(guó)人把立冬當(dāng)作冬天的開(kāi)始。然而事實(shí)上，從氣象學(xué)的角度來(lái)看，冬天的開(kāi)始并不都是立冬。每年的氣候都不一樣，所以冬天的開(kāi)始可能會(huì)很不一樣。而且中國(guó)幅員遼闊，各地的冬天并不是同時(shí)開(kāi)始的。Eatingdumplings

EatingChinesepumpkins在天津，立冬這天人們要吃南瓜餡的餃子。南瓜是華北地區(qū)常見(jiàn)的蔬菜。一般情況下，南瓜要在夏天買回來(lái)，儲(chǔ)存到立冬時(shí)再拿出來(lái)吃。InTianjin,onthefirstdayoftheStartofWinter,peopleeatdumplingsstuffedwithChinesepumpkins.ItisacommonvegetableinNorthChina.Generally,thepumpkinsareboughtinthesummerandstoreduntiltheStartofWinter,whentheyaretakenout.古代的“立冬”WelcomingtheWinterinAncienttimes四季的開(kāi)始是古代的重要節(jié)日。立冬之前，古代皇帝要沐浴，不再吃肉。這一天，皇帝會(huì)帶領(lǐng)官員到郊外舉行“迎冬”儀式。Thefourbeginningsoftheseasonswereimportantfestivalsinancienttimes.BeforetheStartofWinter,theemperorwouldtakeashowerandhavenomoremeat.Onthatday,theemperorwouldleadhisofficialstothesuburbsandperformtheceremonyof“welcomingthewinter.”
