How many more days will the Lesser Cold last? When is Xiaohan?
The arrival of Minor Cold means the coldest time of the year has arrived. So how many days will Minor Cold last? When is Xiaohan? Let’s take a look at the following content!How many more days will the Lesser Cold last?Lesser Cold is the 23rd solar term in the 24 solar terms in China. It is the end of the Zi month and the beginning of the Chou month in the Ganzhi calendar, and it falls between January 5-7 every year. Chinese meteorological data shows that Minor Cold is the coldest solar term among the 24 solar terms, marking the beginning of the coldest days of the year.The Minor Cold solar term occurs when the sun reaches 285° of the ecliptic longitude on January 5 or 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Like the Major Cold, Minor Heat, Major Heat and End of Heat, it is a solar term that indicates changes in temperature. It also marks the end of the Zi month in the Ganzhi calendar and the beginning of the Chou month. With the start of the Lesser Cold solar term, temperatures begin to drop in most parts of the country, and it is wintertime everywhere. When is Xiaohan?What is the date of the Minor Cold in 2021? January 5, 2021, Tuesday, the 22nd day of the winter monthMinor Cold is the 23rd solar term in the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, marking the official start of the winter season. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" states: "In the twelfth month, the cold is still light at the beginning of the month, so it is called that. In the middle of the month, it becomes severe." Minor Cold means that the weather is already very cold. In most parts of my country, the Minor Cold and Major Cold periods are generally the coldest periods. Once Minor Cold is over, it enters the 39th day of the coldest days, when people have to "walk on ice when going out." In most parts of my country, the temperature from the "Minor Cold" to the "Major Cold" solar term is the lowest in the year. Ancient folk proverbs such as "walking on ice during the 39th and 49th days of winter", "freezing into a ball during the Minor Cold and the Great Cold" and "walking on the street and losing money" all describe the coldness of this season. Due to the very low temperature, wheat, fruit trees, vegetables, livestock and poultry are vulnerable to freezing. Origin of Xiaohan"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" states: "The cold is still mild at the beginning of the month...and severe in the middle of the month." In the Yellow River Basin, the Minor Cold is in the last few days of the "Second Nine Days", and the "Third Nine Days" begin a few days after the Minor Cold. The Minor Cold in winter corresponds to the Minor Heat in summer, so it is called the Minor Cold.The characteristic of Minor Cold is that the weather is gradually getting colder, but it is not very cold yet. However, the "Three Nines" of midwinter are basically within the Minor Cold solar term. Before and after the "Three Nines", the heat deep in the soil is also exhausted. Although the sunlight and heat increase slightly, it is still not enough to cover the expenditure, so the lowest temperature of the year appears, and there is a saying that "Minor Cold is better than Major Cold". |
