Minor Cold, with the word "minor" in it, seems to have relieved a lot of the chill in midwinter. So, when is Minor Cold in 2022 and how do we celebrate this day? As the saying goes, "The seventh and eighth days of the twelfth lunar month are so cold that crows freeze to death." The twelfth lunar month represents the arrival of cold winter. If you want to know more about the twelfth lunar month of 2021, please visit Mr. Shui Mo's website.When is the Lesser Cold in 2022?At 17:13:54 on January 5, 2022, the 39 days of the third day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2022 refer to the three cold days starting from the day of Ren on the winter solstice. It is the coldest period of the year. The specific calculation method is to take the day of Ren on the winter solstice as the starting point, and count every "nine days" as one "nine". The first nine days are called "the first nine", the second nine days are called "the second nine", and so on. The coldest period of the year is the "third nine days". Keep counting to "Jiujiu" eighty-one days, "nine peach blossoms bloom", at this time the cold is over and the weather is warm. The Minor Cold in 2022 belongs to the "Three Nines" stage.How do you spend this day?1. La FestivalThe "La Festival" during the Lesser Cold solar term was a very important activity in ancient times, and "La" means "union". The La Festival is a festival to offer sacrifice to all gods. This custom was divided into two sacrificial festivals in the Zhou Dynasty: "La" and "Dala". La was a festival to worship ancestors, while Dala was a festival to worship all gods. People generally designate the second day after the beginning of winter as "Zhengla", which is between the thirteenth and thirty-fifth days after the winter solstice, and no later than New Year's Eve. Since most of the time it is the Lesser Cold solar term, the twelfth month of the lunar calendar is also called the twelfth month. 2. Eat mutton "Xiao Han" is the coldest time of the year, and people are easily attacked by cold wind. The fastest and most effective way to resist the severe cold is not a cotton-padded jacket, but a bowl of steaming mutton soup. Lamb is the most cost-effective warm food. If you cook lamb with some angelica, yam, and carrots, and season it with green onions and ginger, it is recommended to eat it once a week. It will not only prevent you from getting a sore throat, but will also keep you warm throughout the winter. Angelica and ginger mutton soup, which uses "angelica and ginger" as the main ingredients, has the effects of warming the middle and replenishing blood, dispelling cold and strengthening the body. It is very suitable for white-collar workers with serious chronic fatigue and sub-health conditions. For those who suffer from severe weakness in the waist and knees and fear of cold, it is suitable for tonic "lamb kidney and red ginseng porridge", which has the effect of invigorating qi and strengthening yang.
