The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Beginning of Winter, (Chinese: 立冬), the 19th solar term of the year, begins this year on Nov 7 and ends on Nov 21. Beginning of Winter is the first solar term of winter, which means winter is coming and crops harvested in autumn should be stored up.
