At 10:39 Beijing time on January 20, 2022,
We will usher in the last festival of the ugly year.
Like "Little Cold", at this time,
Cold waves frequently move south, and there are often strong winds to cool down or snowfall,
Shuo wind alone, wax tree silver mountain,
"Cold is against the pole", so it is called "great cold".
But "the harsh winter is over, and it's a good spring year again."
The great cold is at the end of the year, and the winter goes to the spring,
As soon as the great cold passed, a new cycle began.
Flowers and wood pipes are seasonal, and birdsong report agricultural time
The ancients divided the "great cold" into three seasons:
Wait for chicken milk
The hen senses spring and begins to hold the eggs and conceive the chicks
The second migratory bird is fiercely ill
Falcons hunt faster to replenish energy beyond the end of winter
Mizusawa belly is strong
The ice of the lake froze to the center, thick and firm.
In the cold season,
Agricultural production should grasp the law of cold and warm changes,
Rational management of wintering crops,
Particular attention should be paid to protecting livestock safely over the winter.
Do a good job of cold protection and antifreeze measures to avoid unnecessary losses.
At the same time, the maintenance of agricultural facilities should be done well.
Get ready for the spring of the coming year.
"After the great cold, it is another year"
The "Great Cold" solar terms often coincide with the end of the year,
It is closely connected with the Spring Festival of sending the old and welcoming the new,
Therefore, the mainland folk also have the saying of "the great cold to welcome the New Year".
As soon as the "great cold" arrives, it is getting closer and closer to the Spring Festival,
The "taste of the year" is also getting stronger and stronger,
People began to follow traditional conventions,
Busy sweeping the house to remove dust, remove the old cloth new,
Making New Year dishes, purchasing New Year goods,
Looking forward to family reunion,
Waiting for the arrival of "one year old in the sound of firecrackers".
Not just let us know the last phenological changes of the year,
More importantly everything about the year,
Slowly open in people's expectations.
As long as there is a high hope,
Every cold spring is born.
