In the traditional Chinese solar calendar (农历) , there are 24 solar terms in a year. Start of Winter is the 19th solar term of the year. Here are some things about the Start of Winter.
Beginning of winter or not
In ancient (古代的) times, Chinese people took the Start of Winter to be the beginning of the winter. However, in fact, the weather every year is different, so the beginning of winter could be quite different. And China is so large that winter doesn’t start at the same time in every area.
Welcoming the winter in ancient times
The four beginnings of the seasons were important festivals in ancient times. Before the Start of Winter, the ancient emperor would take a shower and have no more meat. On that day, the emperor would hold the activity of “welcoming the winter” with his officials.
Eating dumplings
It’s said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-220) , a doctor, Zhang Zhongjing saved many people in Henan from the cold and their ears from being frostbitten around Start of Winter.

According to a recent report from the United Nations, the world population continues (继续) to grow. It could reach 8.4 billion in the year 2025. But during the past 10 years or so, there has been a large and rapid (快速的) drop in the world’s birth rate.
Families are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing countries (such as China and India) and developed countries (such as America and England). Some families don’t want to have more babies because they believe that it’s difficult for them to raise two or more children.
China is such a country that it has already cut its rate of population growth since 1970. Most Chinese families have no more than one child. And it reached a zero population growth rate in 2010. But in 2021, the Chinese government passed laws to encourage (鼓励) families to have three babies, because there are too many old people now. Some factories can’t find enough people to work. That’s terrible.
Several countries in Europe already have a negative growth rate. Experts say that these countries could face a serious shortage (短缺) of workers in the future. And those who are working could face higher taxes (税) to help support the growing number of retirees (退休人员).

C．The world population growth can’t be controlled (控制).
