What are the customs of Xiaohan? What is the ranking of Xiaohan among the 24 solar terms?
As the saying goes, "Minor Cold and Greater Cold, it's so cold that things turn into ice." The arrival of the Minor Cold solar term means we have officially entered the cold winter season. So do you know what customs there are in the Minor Cold? What is the ranking of Xiaohan among the 24 solar terms? Let’s take a look together!What are the customs of Xiaohan?First: DietIn our country's traditional customs, almost every solar term is associated with food. Xiaohan is no exception, and the food eaten in different places is also different. In Tianjin, eat yellow sprouts: Yellow sprouts are a specialty of Tianjin, made from cabbage sprouts. In fact, it is pickled cabbage, which makes up for the shortage of vegetables in winter. In Nanjing, eating vegetable rice: When the Minor Cold comes, people in Nanjing usually cook vegetable rice. The contents of vegetable rice are different. Some are made with dwarf yellow vegetables, bacon slices, sausage slices or diced pressed duck, and some chopped ginger cooked with glutinous rice. It is fragrant and delicious. In Guangzhou, eating glutinous rice: According to Guangzhou tradition, people eat glutinous rice in the morning of Minor Cold to reduce the effects of the cold. Second: Health care As the saying goes, "Eat a chicken on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and you'll be healthy in the coming year." The human body needs more energy and nutrition in winter. Drinking chicken soup can replenish the kidneys, improve immunity, and is a good tonic in winter. In winter, Yang energy is in a hidden state, and people should follow nature and go to bed early and get up late. This is also the simplest and most natural way to nourish the kidneys. Chinese medicine believes that kidney yang is strongest from 5 to 7 in the morning, and weakest from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. It is advisable for everyone to go to bed early and nourish their spirits at night, and go to bed before 11 p.m. to prepare for sleep! You can also achieve the effect of health preservation, kidney nourishment and kidney protection by massaging acupoints. The recommended acupoints are Yongquan acupoint and Yangchi acupoint. What is the ranking of Xiaohan among the 24 solar terms?Minor Cold is the 23rd solar term among the 24 solar terms, followed by Major Cold, and then the next cycle begins from the Beginning of Spring. Lesser Cold, like Greater Cold, Lesser Heat, Greater Heat and End of Heat, is a solar term that indicates changes in temperature. The so-called Minor Cold means that the weather has turned cold, marking the official beginning of the winter season. Because Minor Cold falls during the 39th day of winter, and there is a folk saying that "it's hot in the 39th day of winter and cold in the 39th day of winter", one can imagine how cold it is during the Minor Cold.For the south, Xiaohan is indeed the coldest day of the year. Although compared with the north, the lowest temperature in the south during the Minor Cold period is unlikely to reach -5℃, especially in southern South China, where even snowflakes will not float. However, the people in the south who have no heating are already freezing cold and restless, and have to rely on shaking their feet to keep warm. Fortunately, after the Minor Cold, the southern region will gradually warm up due to the inversion effect, and the "hard days" of the southern people are basically over. |
