"Three whites appear during the Great Cold, indicating that farmers have enough food and clothing." The three whites refer to three heavy snowfalls. This saying has existed as early as the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Wencheng's "Chaoye Jinzai" recorded: "On the first day of the twelfth month, when three whites were seen, Tian Gong laughed brilliantly." There is a saying among the people that "auspicious snow indicates a good harvest". Why is this so? "La Snow" in Volume 11 of "Qing Jia Lu" says it well: "Snow in the twelfth month is called La Snow, also known as 'auspicious snow'. It kills locusts and indicates a good harvest in the coming year." La Snow can kill locusts, so it will be less likely to have insect plagues in the next year, and a good harvest will naturally be in sight. What traditional food do we eat during the Great Cold?Eat Eight Treasure Rice Pudding during the Great ColdThere is a folk saying that eating glutinous rice during the Great Cold solar term is because glutinous rice can nourish the body's positive energy. After eating it, the whole body will feel warm, which plays a role in keeping out the cold, nourishing the stomach and replenishing the body. The most typical food made from glutinous rice is Eight Treasure Rice Pudding. Steam the glutinous rice, mix it with sugar, lard and osmanthus, pour it into a container filled with red dates, coix seeds, lotus seeds, longan meat and other fruit ingredients, steam it and pour the sugar marinade on it.

"Xiaohan Gao" is a kind of rice cake. Not only because its glutinous rice has a higher sugar content than rice, it makes the whole body feel warm after eating it. It has the effects of warming up the wind and cold, moistening the lungs and strengthening the spleen and stomach. In addition, people choose to eat rice cake on the day of "Dahan", which also means "older year", bringing good luck, peace every year, and promotion step by step. Therefore, according to the old Beijing custom, on the day of the Great Cold, the whole family shares rice cakes, which not only bring auspiciousness but also can dispel the coldness in the body, so it is called "Xiao Han Cake". Eat glutinous rice during the Great Cold There is an old saying: "It is cold even in the Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold without wind."
