What does Xiaohan represent?

Minor Cold is a festival that reflects changes in temperature. Han means cold and Xiao means the degree of coldness. Literally speaking, Xiaohan has not reached the coldest temperature. Dahan should be the coldest, but in most parts of our country, Xiaohan is the coldest time of the year. Since Minor Cold is in the last few days of the "Second Nine", it enters the "Third Nine" a few days after Minor Cold, and the Minor Cold in winter corresponds to the Minor Heat in summer, so it is called Minor Cold.
Cold air cooling processes occur frequently during the Minor Cold solar term, but not many of them meet the criteria of cold waves. As the saying goes, 'The coldest days are in the 39th day of winter'. The 39th day of winter is usually from January 9th to 17th, which happens to be within the Minor Cold solar term. But this is only a general rule. In a few years, the Major Cold may be colder than the Minor Cold. and.
In the winter of 1975, the coldest solar term was heavy snow.

In the northern part of Northeast my country, the average temperature at this time is around -30°C, and the extreme minimum temperature can be as low as 50°C. The average highest temperature in the afternoon is only -20°C. It is truly a world of ice and jade. In areas north of 45 degrees in Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang and the northern Tibetan Plateau, the average temperature is below -20°C, and it is a severe winter.
The winter in southern my country is significantly warmer. In January, midwinter, there is frost and snow, and freezing is common. The lowest temperature is around -10°C. However, the lowest temperature in northern South China rarely drops below -5°C, and low temperatures below 0°C are even rarer in southern South China. The low-altitude river valley areas are the warmest places in most parts of southern my country in midwinter, with an average temperature of around 12°C in January, and only in a few years can temperatures drop below 0°C. Generally speaking, the coldest time in the south is the period between the Lesser Cold and the Rain Water and the Waking of Insects. It is extremely cold during the Lesser Cold, and it is damp and cold after the Rain Water.
