It is the third month of winter and the fifth of the winter seasons, annually beginning on January 5-7 and corresponding to the first half of the month of the Ox.

The first day of this season is the winter solstice, which is the shortest day of the year. Since ancient times, this day has been celebrated in many countries and in China as the "Winter Solstice Festival". This holiday is important because this day marks the beginning of a new cycle.

The process of nature's transition from maturity to withering begins. There comes a period of harvesting and fruit ripening.
