Which solar term is colder, Lesser Cold or Greater Cold?

Myth 1 about the colder Minor Cold and Major Cold:
Minor Cold, which falls on January 5th to 7th of the Gregorian calendar every year, marks a degree of coldness in winter.
Dahan, as the name suggests, means extremely cold and is the last solar term among the 24 solar terms.
Both Minor Cold and Greater Cold reflect the degree of coldness in winter. If we understand it literally, the Greater Cold should be colder than the Minor Cold.
The second theory about the colder Minor Cold and Major Cold:
However, there is a saying among the Chinese people that "the coldest days are in the 39th day of winter", and the "39th day of winter" happens to be during the Minor Cold solar term, so it is normal that the Minor Cold is colder than the Major Cold.
For people in the Yellow River Basin, the birthplace of the solar terms, according to meteorological records over the years, in most cases the temperature of the Lesser Cold is colder than the Greater Cold. Only in a small number of areas does the temperature of the Greater Cold have the lowest temperature of the year.

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.
Precautions
1. Do not laugh, play, run around or bump into anything around a 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. What is usually said during the sacrifice: what you plan to do at the grave, why you do it, and the hope that the ancestors will bless you, and everything will go smoothly and peacefully.
