Solar term entity

Winter Solstice (冬至)

Winter Solstice (冬至) is the solar-term window from December 21, 2025 to January 5, 2027. Winter Solstice marks the shortest daylight period in the northern-hemisphere solar cycle. It is a time to review the year's pace, not because the date determines wellbeing, but because routines become visible against a quieter seasonal backdrop. Choose a small form of restoration that fits real life: a calmer meal, a brief walk in daylight, a limited social plan, or a simple review of what has supported you through the year. Keep the focus practical and optional. After the solstice, the calendar begins moving toward more daylight even while winter continues. That makes this a useful moment for patience: preserve steadiness now and let future changes arrive without demanding an immediate transformation. TianJi derives the term date and the displayed Yunqi fields from @repo/yunqi-calc, not from generative text. The practical suggestions on this page are general lifestyle education, not diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for professional care.
