The "Time-granting Tongkao Tianshi" quotes the "Three Rites and Righteous Sects": "The great cold is the middle, and the upper form is in the small cold, so it is called the big ... The reverse pole of the cold is called the great cold. "The Great Cold is the coldest festival of the year.

Great cold customs
The Great Cold is the last of the twenty-four solar terms, and after the Great Cold and the Spring, that is, the new year's solar cycle is ushered in.
Due to recent years, this festival period is full of joy and joy, and it is a cheerful and relaxed festival. People began to busily remove the old and decorate the new, pickle the New Year dishes, and prepare the New Year goods, because the most important festival of the Chinese, the Spring Festival, was coming.
As the last cold festival at the end of the year, although it is the agricultural leisure season, every family is "busy" - busy new year, which is the custom of "big cold to welcome the new year".
The so-called "Great Cold New Year" means that during the period from the Great Cold to the Lunar New Year, there will be a series of activities in the folk, which can be summarized as at least ten major customs. They are:
1. Glutinous food
It is the day of the Great Cold Festival, and the ancients popularly ate food made of glutinous rice.
2. Indulge in drinking
"Indulgence" refers to letting go of the feast and indulging in drinking. The Eastern Han Dynasty Cai Yong's book "Dictatorship" includes "waxers, year-end sacrifices, and indulgent officials feasting and drinking".
3. Do the teeth
"Making teeth", also known as "making teeth sacrifice", was originally a ritual to sacrifice the land father-in-law, commonly known as a meal as "tooth sacrifice", which is derived from this. There are "cephalos" and "tail teeth" in making teeth, the cephalonia are on the second day of February in the lunar calendar, and the tail teeth are on the sixteenth day of the last month of the year. Folk have the custom of the whole family sitting together to "eat the tail teeth". The "annual meeting" popular in modern enterprises is the relic of the tail tooth festival.
4. Dust removal
"Dust removal", also known as "removing Chen" and "dusting", is a big cleaning: "every house brushes the wall, sweeps away the ominous", and sweeps away the poor luck; on the contrary, "the waxing moon does not remove the dust, and the next year will attract the plague god". Dust removal is generally carried out on the 23rd and 24th of the Waxing Moon, that is, on the day of the "sacrifice stove", and when dusting, we should avoid words and pay attention to "making a fortune with muffled voices".
5. Paste the window
"Pasting the window" is to use new paper to frame the window, "paste the window, change the auspicious". In order to be beautiful, some people will cut some auspicious patterns and paste them on the windows, so they are also called "window flowers", which are generally placed on the 25th of the Waxing Moon.
6. Steaming
"Steaming offerings" is the offerings used to prepare sacrifices, and in the past, the past pastries and steamed buns used for offerings were steamed with noodles, so it was called.
7. Rush to get married
"Hurry to get married", the ancient saying that at the end of the month, the gods went to heaven to "report on the work situation of the year", at this time there was no taboo in the human world, and there was no need to pick a date for marriage at this time, and it was agricultural leisure, so the old folk scene was "the countryside is busy with marriage".
8. Take advantage of the ruins
"Take advantage of the market", buy daily necessities, and buy New Year goods. The period of the ruins is established according to the convention, and is divided into 147, 258, 369 days. Except for the tenth day, every day is a ruin day. In the old days, on the day of the ruins, whether it was a winding path or a smooth and wide avenue, the flow of people taking advantage of the ruins was endless.
9. Bathing
"Bathing", which has the same intention as "dust removal", is to do a good job of personal hygiene, which means to wash away the troubles and obscurity of the year. Therefore, at the end of the year, no matter how busy you are, you have to cut your hair and take a shower, that is, the old saying "have money to pay money, wash the New Year".
10. Paste the new year red
"Pasting Nian Hong", that is, the general name of pasting Spring League, Door God, Horizontal Batch, New Year Painting, Fu Zi, Window Flower, etc., because these are the red festive elements posted during the New Year, so it is called Sticking Nian Hong. Sticking red is a traditional New Year custom, adding to the festive atmosphere and placing people's good expectations for the New Year, new year and new life. When people post new year reds on their doorsteps, it means that the Spring Festival has officially begun.

Great Cold Poetry
Wing 24 Qi Poems : The Great Cold Mid-December
[Tang] Yuan Shu
The wine is self-contained, and the golden furnace beast is warm.
The cold should be close to the fire, and nothing should be opened.
Winter and spring alternate, stars and moons survive?
The Ming Dynasty changed the new law, and MeiLiu waited for YangChun.
Bitter groan
[Tang] Mengjiao
The sky is cold and green, and the north wind is called dry mulberry.
Thick ice without cracks, short days with cold light.
Knocking stones must not be fired, and the strong yin is seizing the sun.
Tune the bitterness and say nothing, and freeze into this chapter.
Watch the White Eagle
[Tang] Li Bai
Cold winter in December.
Goshawk eight or nine hairs.
Send words to the birds and birds do not peck at each other.
It's a sky high.
[Song] Land Tour
The cold snow has not subsided, and the closed house cannot come out,
Poor Cut Cloud Crown, bureau this room for knees.
My car is hanging, and I have been driving for a long time.
Whiskers take a part, relatively all day long.
The dead sheep ring dodecious, and the way of learning should be one,
Shinno Jong-ri, Bai Shi Duan can be deposed.
For the sake of the mountain, do not rest, meet with Gao Wei.
Although the age of decadence is forced, the widow has beauty.
Big Chill
[Song] Shao Yong
The old snow has not yet subsided, and the new snow has been crowded.
Frozen silver bed in front of the steps, ice stalactites at the eaves.
The sun is shining, and the wind is raging.
The population has its own tongue, and the words cannot be spit out.
After the great cold,
Spring is not far away!
