When does the 39th day of winter begin

The Chinese people have different opinions on different weather conditions. During the particularly cold period of winter, there is a saying called the "Three Nine Cold Days". This period can be said to be the coldest time of the year, and in some northern areas rivers will freeze, and most people will stay at home. Therefore, damp and cold weather will also appear in the relatively warm southern regions, but when does the calculation of the 39th day of winter weather begin?

From the day of winter solstice, China enters the coldest days of winter. According to astronomical experts, "Jiujiu" is a miscellaneous solar term that is more suitable in northern my country, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It starts from the day of the winter solstice and enters the "Nine Days", commonly known as "Jiao Jiu". After that, every nine days is a unit, called "Jiu". After nine "Nine", it is exactly eighty-one days, which is called "Chu Jiu". At that time, spring will come and flowers will bloom.

According to the algorithm of the Sanjiu days (the 19th to 27th day after the winter solstice), the Sanjiu days in 2014 started on January 9th.

After the beginning of the coldest days of winter, rivers and streams freeze over and are blocked. This is a very common phenomenon. As the saying goes: It is easy to stay at home for a thousand days, but difficult to go out for a moment. This refers to the cold weather during the coldest days of winter.

The best time to exercise is during the coldest days of winter

The best time to exercise is during the coldest days of winter

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, winter is the time when yin energy is stored, and the 39th day of winter is the apex of climate change, and also the peak of yin excess and yang decline. Yang is active and Yin is quiet. The human body has a natural temperature regulation center, which will naturally slow down blood flow when it is cold. If you don't exercise, your Qi and blood will become more likely to stagnate.

"The key is to get moving!" emphasized Bai Liqun, deputy chief physician of orthopedics at the Oriental Hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Strengthening exercise can not only help coordinate the balance of yin and yang, but more importantly, it can make Qi and blood flow and clear the meridians. For example, walking can stimulate the movement of multiple organs throughout the body, bringing many benefits to the whole body both inside and outside.

For office workers who are called "people in the box" due to lack of exercise, and most middle-aged and elderly people who suffer from waist and leg discomfort, Director Bai recommends a fitness walking method suitable for all ages - alternating walking.

Alternating walking means walking forward, backward, fast, and slow alternately, while inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. "Under normal circumstances, walking forward will cause stretching of the joints and muscles, which will cause muscle strain and joint aging over time," said Bai Liqun. Walking backwards is a reverse injury mechanism that can reduce wear and tear, relieve muscle pain, and promote the body's self-healing.

For outdoor walking exercise, you can choose to go out at 10 o'clock in the morning when the air quality is best. For patients with heart disease, bronchitis, hypertension, etc., in order to avoid cold stimulation, they can choose to do activities indoors with windows open, which can also achieve the effect of strengthening the body.
