2021 Great Cold: Wednesday, January 20, 2021 (the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month)
Climate characteristics: Dahan is the coldest time of the year.

Which comes earlier, the Great Cold or the Lesser Cold?

The ancients particularly emphasized that "everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme", and believed that the "natural law" of the alternation of cold and hot weather is that the cold will quickly warm up before it gets cold. If the Great Cold comes before the Lesser Cold, there will be no feeling of "warming up" after the coldest moment, so putting the Great Cold at the end and letting the Spring return after the Great Cold is in line with the law of "everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme". There is another saying that the Lesser Cold in winter corresponds exactly to the Lesser Heat in summer, so it is called "Lesser Cold"; the Greater Cold in winter corresponds exactly to the Greater Heat in summer, so it is called "Greater Cold".

Which one is colder, Dahan or Xiaohan?

Like Lesser Cold, Greater Cold is also a solar term that indicates the degree of coldness of the weather. According to my country's annual climate data statistics, the coldest period of the year in northern my country is mid-January of the Gregorian calendar (10th to 20th).
The Minor Cold solar term every year starts from January 5th to 7th, and one solar term lasts for 15 days, with the middle of the month falling exactly within the Minor Cold solar term; therefore, for most areas in the north, the Minor Cold is indeed colder than the Major Cold.
But for most areas in the south, the coldest time is during the Great Cold solar term; the Great Cold solar term in the south generally starts on January 20, and late January is the coldest time of the year in the south.
