Introduction to the Great Cold

Dahan is the last of the 24 solar terms.
"Dahan" occurs around January 20th of the Gregorian calendar every year when the sun reaches 300° of the ecliptic longitude.
The "Tongkao of Shushi·Tianshi" quoted "Three Rituals and Meanings": " The Great Cold is the middle cold, which is higher than the Lesser Cold, so it is called the Great Cold... The cold air reaches its extreme, so it is called the Great Cold. "
There is a saying: " The Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold are extremely cold ." Literally speaking, Dahan should be colder than Xiaohan, at least for most parts of the south.
Cold waves frequently move southward, and late January is the coldest time of the year in southern China.
During the Great Cold, the sun's direct point is farther away from the Northern Hemisphere. The sun's angle of slant is low, so the radiant heat received by the Northern Hemisphere is still very weak.
The wind is strong, the temperature is low, the snow on the ground has not melted, and the cold air is strong. The world is filled with freezing weather, ice and snow.
The Great Cold occurs just after the 39th day of winter and the beginning of the 49th day of winter. At this time, there is a saying that " walk on ice during the 39th and 49th day of winter ".
However, after the Great Cold, it is the Beginning of Spring. "Winter hibernation" turns to "spring birth", and the new year's cycle of solar terms is about to begin, which always gives people more warm expectations.

Great Cold Welcomes the New Year

The Great Cold solar term often coincides with the end of the year.
Therefore, during this solar term, in addition to doing farm work according to the solar terms, people also have to rush around for the New Year.
Go to the New Year market, buy New Year's goods, write Spring Festival couplets, prepare various sacrificial offerings, sweep the house, get rid of the old and bring in the new, prepare New Year's goods, pickle various sausages and bacon, or fry and cook various New Year dishes such as chicken, duck, fish and meat.
Conclusion: On this important day, I hope warmth will be with you and Mr. Shui Mo will be with you.
