Dōng Zhì · Winter 冬 · 约 Dec 21–23 · 第 22 / 24 个节气
一年中白昼最短的一天。「冬至一阳生」，阴极而阳始，是一年中重要的传统节日。
The shortest day of the year. The tradition says that at the solstice the first yang is born — yin at its extreme gives way to light. It is a major traditional festival.
「冬至进补」的观念对应此时，但进补的具体方式须因人而异、由执业者判断。起居以早睡晚起、避寒保暖为要。
The idea of tonifying at the solstice belongs to this term — but how, or whether, is individual and a practitioner's call. In daily life: sleep early, rise late, stay warm.
一年中最厚的穿着；外出护好头面与手足。
The year's heaviest clothing; cover the head, face, hands and feet when out.
穿衣本应因人、因地、因体质而异，本页只给一般起居参考，不是健康指导。
日短之至。传统的节气饮食讲究「当令」——吃这个时节自然成熟的东西，把饮食与季节对齐。本页不给具体方子或剂量；若你想按体质调整饮食，请咨询持证的执业者。
日短之至. Seasonal eating means aligning the table with what ripens now. No formulas or doses are given here — for individual dietary adjustment, consult a licensed practitioner.
