Which one is colder, Lesser Cold or Greater Cold?

There is a folk saying in my country: "Minor Cold is better than Major Cold, it is common and not rare." But according to meteorological experts, it cannot be generalized which solar term is the coldest, Minor Cold or Major Cold, but it varies from north to south and from year to year.
According to my country's annual climate data statistics, the coldest period of the year in most parts of northern my country is mid-January (10th to 20th). The Minor Cold solar term starts from January 5th to 7th every year. One solar term lasts for 15 days, and the middle of the month falls within the Minor Cold solar term. Therefore, for most areas in the north, Minor Cold is indeed colder than Major Cold.
But for most parts of the south, the coldest time is during the Great Cold solar term. The Great Cold solar term usually starts on January 20, and late January is the coldest time of the year in the south.
However, there are always some areas that are "different". The coldest time of the year in western Sichuan and most of Yunnan is in late December, which is probably during the winter solstice. The coldest time in parts of Tibet and Xinjiang is in early January.
According to national climate statistics, there are more years when the Lesser Cold solar term is colder than the Greater Cold solar term.
