"Great cold" is also a solar term that indicates the degree of coldness of the weather
After the "Great Cold"
It will usher in a new year's solar cycle
Luo Shuwei, a historian and researcher at the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, said that on January 20 or 21 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 300 degrees of ecliptic longitude, the "great cold" solar term begins. Although the cold tide frequently moves south at this time, and the wind and snow make the weather cold from time to time, the earth is quietly warming, "the residual snow is dark with the ice shoots, and the new spring sneaks back to the willows." This means that the harsh winter is coming to an end and spring is coming.

Great Cold And Three Waits
In ancient times, the great cold was divided into three weathers:
Wait for the chicken to start milking
Chicken first milk, which means that the great cold festival chicken perceives the yang of spring in advance and begins to incubate the chicks.
The second migratory bird is fiercely ill
Sign bird sharp disease, sign bird refers to the eagle falcon and other birds, strong disease is fierce, fast meaning. The birds hover in the air to hunt for food to replenish energy against the cold.
Mizusawa belly is strong
The water is strong, and the ice in the water is frozen to the center, thick and solid. And where the cold is extreme, things will be reversed, and the spring aquatic life in the depths of the ice will be born.
Great Cold Customs
Tail Tooth Festival
According to the customs of the mainland, especially in the countryside, every cold festival, people begin to be busy removing old cloth and new cloth, pickling New Year dishes, and preparing New Year goods. During the period from the great cold to the spring, there are many important folk customs and festivals. Such as tail tooth sacrifice, sacrifice stove, etc. The Great Cold Festival is full of joy and joy, and it is a cheerful and relaxed festival.
Tail teeth are eaten with spring cake (called run cake in the south) like february 2, and on this day the traders have to set up a feast, and white chopped chicken is an indispensable dish on the feast. It is said that who the chicken head is facing, it means that the boss will fire whom the next year. Therefore, some bosses generally turn their chicken heads towards themselves so that employees can enjoy the food with confidence and have a safe new year when they return home.
Ice chisel storage
Due to the weather, there are not many outdoor recreational activities that can be carried out before and after the cold. In ancient times, out of the needs of life, when the cold came and the ice was harder and stronger, people began to chisel ice for storage in the coming year. In the past, there was no refrigerator, and in the summer people needed to ice to chill meat and fruits to facilitate freshness. Therefore, in the cold that is the thickest in the ice, you have to start storing ice.
In the Qing Dynasty, in the great cold, ice skating competitions were generally held, which was regarded as a "sport" in the court. Judging from the historical records, there were still many types of performances on ice at that time, such as playing ice hockey, as well as some performances on ice, acrobatics and the like, which were somewhat similar to today's figure skating.
Sticky stove king mouth
During the Great Cold, the twenty-third day of the lunar month is the festival of the sacrificial stove, and the custom of sacrificing the stove is naturally indispensable. According to legend, the Emperor of The Stove was a god sent by the Jade Emperor to each home to supervise people's daily good and evil, and returned to the Heavenly Palace at the end of each year to report the people's feelings to the Jade Emperor and let the Jade Emperor set rewards and punishments.
When offering the stove, the Kanto sugar is cremated and smeared on the mouth of the stove king, so as not to let the stove king say bad things. The commonly used Vesta God Association often writes words such as "Heaven says good things, returns to the palace to descend auspicious" and "Heaven says good things, and the netherworld guarantees peace".
All year round, the cycle repeats
In the blink of an eye, it's a new reincarnation
Have you fulfilled this year?
Do you have any regrets?
Let's look forward to the next spring
