What are the customs and traditions of the Minor Cold solar term?

As a solar term that reflects the climate, the Minor Cold solar term has relatively few traditional customs and activities, but because it is one of the two coldest solar terms, food customs are more valued.
As the saying goes, "Nourish yourself in the coldest days of winter and you will be free of illness in the coming year." This refers to the practice of eating mutton in winter to nourish the body. In ancient times, people in Rugao attached great importance to Minor Cold, but with the changes of the times, its importance has gradually faded, and people can only find traces of it in their lives. Residents' daily diet also tends to focus on warm foods, such as mutton and dog meat, among which mutton soup is the most common. Some restaurants also offer angelica and ginger mutton soup. Some traditional winter mutton dishes reappear on the table, recreating Rugao's cold winter food customs. However, "the weather during the Lesser Cold and Greater Cold is so cold that it freezes into ice", so young people should be careful not to get acne due to overeating of fatty, sweet, or spicy foods during this solar term.
1. Vegetable Rice
In ancient times, Nanjing people attached great importance to Minor Cold, but with the changes of the times, its importance has gradually faded, and now people can only find traces of it in their lives. The Lesser Cold season is also the busiest time for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and Chinese medicine pharmacies. Generally, all the paste prescriptions prepared at the beginning of winter are almost used up. At this time, some families will cook a little more and eat it around the Spring Festival.
2. Glutinous Rice
It is a Guangzhou tradition to eat glutinous rice in the morning of Xiaohan. To avoid it being too sticky, the rice is usually 60% glutinous rice and 40% fragrant rice. Chop the bacon and Chinese sausage, fry the peanuts, add some chopped scallions, and mix it with the rice.
Guangdong people pay great attention to diet therapy. Because Xiaohan falls in the middle of winter, the earth's energy is strong and the kidney's energy is weak. Therefore, the diet should reduce sweetness and increase bitterness, nourish the heart and lungs, and regulate the kidneys. Chi Xiaoling said that the so-called "replenishment in the 39th day of winter" should be taken, but remember not to take too much supplements during the Lesser Cold. In terms of diet, you can eat more lamb, beef, sesame, walnuts, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, corn, pine nuts, raisins, etc. You can also combine it with medicated food for tonic.
