In ancient my country, Minor Cold was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when wild geese fly north, the second stage is when magpies start to build nests, and the third stage is when pheasants start to crow." The ancients believed that among migratory birds, wild geese migrate according to the yin and yang. At this time, the yang energy has moved, so the wild geese begin to migrate north; at this time, magpies can be seen everywhere in the north, and they begin to build nests because they feel the yang energy; the third stage is "pheasants and crows," in which "crows" means to sing, and when it is close to the 49th day of the lunar month, pheasants will feel the growth of yang energy and crow.
