Beginning of Winter or 立冬

Yesterday, Friday, November 7th, 20098 was in Lunar Calendar the Beginning of Winter or 立冬, conventionally observed by farmers and one of several solar terms that describes the seasonal or astrological changes of the year. With cultural significance, Beginning of Winter literally describes and signals the seasonal arrival of winter. All living things big and small make reservation for their respective restful moment to avoid the looming cold.
