{{solar terms}}
The traditional [[Chinese calendar]] divides a year into 24 [[solar term]]s. '''''Lìdōng''''', ''Rittō'', ''Ipdong'', or ''Lập đông'' ({{CJKV|t=立冬|s=立冬|p=lìdōng|j=立冬|r=rittō|k=입동|rr=ipdong|v=lập đông|l=start of winter}}) is the 19th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the [[celestial longitude]] of 225° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 240°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 225°. In the [[Gregorian calendar]], it usually begins around November 7 and ends around November 22.
Lidong signifies the beginning of winter in East Asian cultures.
