Isn’t there a lesser cold during the Great Cold?

Like Lesser Cold, Greater Cold is also a solar term that indicates the degree of coldness of the weather.
In some parts of my country, the Great Cold is not as severe as the Lesser Cold, but in some years and a few coastal areas, the lowest steam temperature of the year still occurs during the Great Cold solar term.
Lesser Cold and Greater Cold are the periods with the least rainfall in a year.
"Shushi Tongkao Tianshi" quotes "Sanli Yi Zong": "Dahan is the middle one, it is above Xiaohan, so it is called Dahan... It is the coldest time of the year, so it is called Dahan." At this time, cold waves frequently move southward, and it is the coldest period of the year in most parts of my country. It is windy, low in temperature, and the snow on the ground does not melt, presenting a severe cold scene of ice and snow, freezing weather and frozen ground.
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.

Why do we drink Eight Treasure Porridge during heavy snow?

In ancient times in the north, although the weather was cold during the Great Cold, it was close to spring, so people began to get busy cleaning out the old and decorating with the new, pickling New Year's dishes, preparing New Year's goods, and welcoming the most important festival for the Chinese people - the Spring Festival.
On the day of the Great Cold, traditional eight-treasure porridge is made with yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red cowpeas, peeled jujube paste, etc., boiled with water, and then dyed red with peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar, and grapes for coloring.
