Today's share: Big Cold
January 20th, the Great Cold, is also the last of the twenty-four solar terms. The great cold comes at the end of the year, winter goes to spring, and once the great cold passes, a new cycle begins.
"The Great Han Yin"
[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.
The festival of "great cold" is not only the festival of enjoying the plum and watching the snow, but also the moment when the cold tide continues to go south and let people wrap up the quilt. The arrival of the great cold has made the meaning of "cold" come to the face, and the birth of the word "cold" has also been interpreted.

In the "Explanation of Words", it is written: "Cold, frozen also." From the man under the bow, with the recommendation of the man, there is the bottom. The simple explanation is: cold, cold air freeze people; the glyph uses the meaning of "宀、人, 茻,仌", indicating the use of grass mattress cushion cover, the lower part of the glyph has "仌" to indicate that the weather cold water is frozen.
From the ancient text, the "cold" character's treasure cover represents the house, the same as the word "home", so now most of the characters with the treasure cover are related to "home"; and there are four 屮 (草) in the house, so in the seal book and the Lishu, most of the cursive characters are written "屮屮"; in the middle is a person; and the bottom of the person is 仌 (tongbing, pronounced the same as ice). To connect the above meaning is to sleep in a grass nest alone, with cold feet, so it is "cold".
Cold is a feeling that people can feel but can't see. So the ancients used the above four forms to create this word, and people bent indoors to avoid the cold with grass, indicating that the weather was very cold. Meaning: cold, cold; this is a true portrayal of the poor in ancient times. Later, it was extended to the meaning of poverty, such as Du Fu's "Song of the Hut Broken by the Autumn Wind", "There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the cold people in the world are happy." ”
The four "grasses" in the letter of cold have become three horizontal and two vertical, and the ice has made two points, so it is the "cold" word we see today. In this way, the ancients' ability to create words is really a must!
