What is the meaning of the Great Cold solar term?

Dahan is the last solar term among the 24 solar terms. It occurs when the sun reaches 300° of the ecliptic longitude around January 20 every year. Dahan means the weather is extremely cold. "Shushi Tongkao Tianshi" quotes "Sanli Yi Zong": "Dahan is the middle one, it is better than Xiaohan, so it is called Dahan. It is the coldest time of the year in most parts of my country, with strong winds, low temperatures, and snow on the ground that does not melt, presenting a severe cold scene of ice and snow. The poem says, "The wax trees and silver mountains shine brightly, while the north wind whistles alone and quiets the three rivers. The old farmer still likes the snow in the sky, let alone the fragrance of wheat and fruits next year. (Zuohe Water)" Dahan is the last of the 24 solar terms in China. After Dahan, it is Lichun, which ushers in the cycle of solar terms for a new year.
As the saying goes: "Flowers and trees indicate the seasons, and birds' singing heralds the farming season." Flowers, trees, birds, animals and other animals all move according to the seasons, so their regular movements are seen as an important symbol for distinguishing the seasons. In ancient China, the Great Cold was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when chickens lay eggs; the second stage is when migratory birds fly fast; the third stage is when the bellies of fish in marshes become hard." This means that chicks can be hatched during the Great Cold. During the last five days of the year, the ice in the water freezes all the way to the center and is the strongest and thickest, so children can enjoy skating on the river (this activity is only allowed when the average daily temperature remains below -5℃ for several consecutive days, and this activity usually occurs in the area north of the Yellow River). 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.
