"Dahan" is the last solar term in winter. So what are the knowledge and customs about Dahan? What is the significance of Great Cold? Let’s take a look at the following content!What is the knowledge and customs about the Great Cold?1. Welcoming the Kitchen GodCommonly used couplets for the Kitchen God often include phrases such as "Speak good things to the gods in heaven, and bring good luck back to the palace." and "Speak good things to the gods in heaven, and keep the world safe." In addition, on the night of New Year’s Eve, the Kitchen God will come to the human world with other gods to celebrate the New Year, and there will be ceremonies of "welcoming the Kitchen God" and "welcoming the gods" on that day. Hence the saying goes, “It goes away on the 23rd and comes back on the 1st at five o'clock.” At the end of the year, stalls selling New Year pictures also sell images of the Kitchen God for posting during the "welcoming the Kitchen God" ceremony. The Kitchen God in the image is a handsome young man with delicate features. Therefore, there is a saying in northern my country that "men don't worship the moon and women don't worship the Kitchen God". This is to show that men and women should not touch each other. In some places, where the Kitchen God and the Kitchen Goddess are worshipped together, this saying does not exist. 2. Eat Laba Congee Fifteen days after Xiaohan comes Dahan, which is also the last solar term of the 24 solar terms in the year. Although the weather is cold at this time, it is almost spring, so it will not be as cold as during the period from heavy snow to the winter solstice. At this time of year, people begin to get busy cleaning out the old and decorating with the new, pickling New Year's dishes, and preparing New Year's goods, because the most important festival for the Chinese people - the Spring Festival - is coming. There is also a very important day for people in the north - Laba, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, people use grains, peanuts, chestnuts, red dates, lotus seeds, etc. to cook a pot of sweet and delicious Laba porridge, which is an indispensable staple food for people during the Chinese New Year. What is the significance of Great Cold?Dahan is the last solar term among the 24 solar terms. It is the coldest period of the year in most parts of China, with strong winds, low temperatures, and unmelted snow on the ground, presenting a severe scene of ice and snow and freezing weather. As the saying goes: "Flowers and trees indicate the seasons, and birds' singing heralds the farming season." Flowers, trees, birds, animals and other animals all move according to the seasons, so their regular movements are seen as an important symbol for distinguishing the seasons. |
