Dahan is the last solar term among the 24 solar terms. It occurs when the sun reaches 300° of ecliptic longitude around January 20 of the Gregorian calendar every year . It is in the period of 39th and 49th days of the lunar calendar. At this time, cold waves frequently move southward, and it is the coldest period of the year in most parts of China.
Dahan means the weather is extremely cold.
"Shushi Tongkao Tianshi" quotes "Sanli Yi Zong": "The Great Cold is the middle one, it is above the Lesser Cold, so it is called the Great Cold... It is the coldest time of the year, so it is called the Great Cold." At this time, cold waves frequently move southward, and it is the coldest period of the year in most parts of my country, with strong winds and low temperatures. Dahan is the last of the 24 solar terms in China. After Dahan, Lichun comes, marking the beginning of a new year's solar term cycle.
The "Pingqi Method" divides the solar terms into three phases: "The first phase is chickens laying eggs; the second phase is migratory birds flying fast; the third phase is the hardening of the belly of water birds."
Among them, the third phase particularly illustrates that the temperature of the Great Cold is extremely low: at this time, the ice in the water can freeze all the way to the center of the water, and is thick and solid.
In addition, the flower signs during the Great Cold are "the first sign is Daphne odora, the second sign is orchid, and the third sign is Alum (grown in the south of the Yangtze River)". It can also be used as an important indicator to judge the Great Cold.

Sacrificial Rituals

1. Place food, bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, tea and other offerings on the graves of ancestors, and then light three incense sticks in front of the graves.
2. Pour the first glass of wine after lighting the incense. After about 30 minutes or half of the incense is burned, one person will light three incense sticks for the second time and pour the second glass of wine.
3. When the incense is half burned, place offerings to the land god who looks after the grave, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors from harm.
4. When the three incense sticks have burned out, remove the offerings and leave a small amount of money and other belongings to be burned on other graves to prevent other ghosts from stealing money and clothes from the ancestral graves after the people who visited the graves leave.
Note: 1. Do not laugh, play, run around or bump into anything around the cemetery. Doing so is not only impolite, but also disrespectful to the ancestors.
Second, it is not advisable to wear bright red or bright green clothes, and pregnant women, the sick, and children under 7 years old should not go to sweep the graves.
3. When offering sacrifices, people usually say what they are going to do at the grave, why they are doing it, and hope that the ancestors will bless them, and everything will go smoothly and be safe.
