How does China count the winter months
It’s wintertime. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, November, December, January and February are winter months. They include six solar terms (节气): lidong (beginning of winter), xiaoxue (light snow), daxue (heavy snow), dongzhi (winter solstice), xiaohan (lesser cold) and dahan (greater cold).
Winter begins at lidong (Nov 7-8), after which most parts of the country can start to expect cold weather. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy to take a break and spend some time with family. The northern part of China celebrates lidong as the “Small Spring Festival”. People have dumplings and eat mutton (羊肉) soup.
Xiaoxue (Nov 22-23) and daxue (Dec 6-8) come after lidong. During xiaoxue, northern China can expect snow and temperatures slowly fall below 0°C． Daxue means even more snow and bigger temperature drops.
When dongzhi (Dec 21-23) comes, it brings the shortest days of the year and the longest nights. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather yet. Ancient Chinese would often start counting “nine cold periods” (数九寒天) starting from dongzhi. Every cold period has nine days. They believed that after 81 cold days, spring would arrive.
Xiaohan (Jan 4-6) usually brings the lowest temperatures of the year. There may be high winds and sleet (雨雪).
Finally, during dahan (Jan 19-21), the sleety weather fills the fields with snow. All Chinese are ready to welcome the Chinese New Year after dahan. Spring Festival, China’s most important festival, falls at this time. After that, a new round of solar terms will start.
46．Winter months include ________solar terms.
A．four B．five C．six D．seven
47．The underlined phrase “take a break ” means________.
A．工作 B．休息 C．请假 D．打破
48．Temperatures in northern China fall below 0°C during________.
A．lidong B．xiaoxue C．dongzhi D．xiaohan
49．The temperature________ from lidong to dahan.
A．is higher and higher B．is constant (不变的)
C．is decreasing D．is the highest
50．What’s the passage mainly about
