The great cold is the difficulty of the crop, and suffering is the practice of life.
Author: Insight Yimo
It was very cold on January 20.
The great cold is the last solar term of winter and the last of the year.
In the "Time-granting Examination", it is said: "The great cold is the middle, and the upper form is the small cold, so it is called the big ... The reverse pole of the cold is called the great cold. ”
Although it is called The Great Cold, in meteorology, for most years, the Great Cold is slightly warmer than the Little Cold.
The big cold carries on the small cold and the spring on the bottom, which is the turning point of the alternation of winter and spring.
Although it is still a miserable cold at the moment, in January, you can see the mountains and rivers thawing and everything recovering.
The cold winter days are coming to an end, and spring is coming.

Winter to spring, all waiting will not be disappointed.
The ancients said: "The great cold needs to guard the fire, and nothing is not to go out." ”
Although the temperature of the big cold is slightly higher than that of the small cold, the north wind and cold wave still often come.
Coupled with the fact that winter has lasted for nearly 100 days, the body's energy consumption is huge, and people have become more frost-resistant.
At this time, the body temperature is even colder than the small cold.
In the past, people had stopped their buddies at this time and hid at home, waiting for the cold winter to pass.
But as soon as you go out for a walk, you'll notice something different.
For example, plum blossoms and Ruixiang have bloomed, and the willow trees by the river can already see a little green buds.
Although the cold of winter is still there, the signs of spring are beginning to show.
There are three seasons for the great cold: one is chicken milk; the second is for birds to be sick; and the third is for water and the abdomen is strong.
By this time the hens had begun to lay and hatch; the birds began to hover in the air in search of food; and the ice in the water froze to the center of the water.
The animals felt the growth of the yang qi of heaven and earth and began to lay eggs and forage for food.
Although the river ice layer is thick, but deep in the ice, it has begun to slowly melt.
The poet said: "Spring water is born in the depths of the solid ice." ”
In the I Ching, Da Han belongs to the "Zhen" Gua.
In the extremely cold weather, the rivers freeze and the land freezes, at this time the sky shakes and the yang qi arises.
In the crevices of the land, a little bit of life emerges; under the frozen river, a little melts the cold of winter.
Winter and spring will come, and all waiting will not be disappointed.
On the eve of the turn of winter and spring, guard the loneliness of the heart; in the vibration of all things, keep the restlessness of the heart.
Don't act rashly, don't act presumptuously, be quiet, and wait for the flowers to bloom.

All suffering is a compulsory lesson in life.
As the saying goes: "It should be cold or not cold, not a year old." ”
If the temperature of the cold festival is high, or even a little warm, it will be a great test for the crops in the coming year.
The land is not frozen, and there will be many insect pests in the coming year.
Cold snaps to the north recur in the spring, causing severe frost damage after the crops have sprouted.
Therefore, the experienced old man in the past said: "The cold is not cold, and the people and horses are uneasy." ”
In the cold season, the weather is a little colder, it is best to come to a few snows, then next year is a good year.
This is true of the way of heaven, and it is also true of life.
Confucius said, "Years are cold, and then after knowing the pine cypress, it withers." ”
When the weather is really cold, we can know that after everything has withered, the pine is still upright.
Only by truly experiencing adversity can one truly become strong.
No one wants to sing the praises of suffering, but no one can escape it.
There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have bad luck and bad luck.
Many times, we have no choice but to accept.
Survive, survive, and life will turn around.
Starlight does not ask passers-by, and the years pay off.
Think of life's suffering as a practice.
Keep your heart and silently improve yourself.
One day, you can do your best.

Big things and small things will pass, and good things and bad things will eventually become a thing of the past.
Big cold and small cold, killing pigs for the New Year.
The great cold is in the waxing moon, approaching the most important season of the year - the Spring Festival.
Therefore, the custom of the great cold is the custom of welcoming the New Year.
In the harshness of the cold, people joyfully prepared New Year goods and cleaned up, without half a decadence.
People have to carry out a big cleaning, sweep away the bad luck of the year, and at the same time paint the walls to remove the poor luck of the year.
No matter how busy you are, you have to get a haircut, take a bath, and wash away the obscurity and troubles of the year.
In order to please a good head, people spread sesame stalks on the ground and let children step on them, which means that sesame blossoms are growing high.
Sacrifice ancestors and prepare "steaming offerings", which means "not steaming steamed buns" in the coming year.
Pasted with red window flowers and couplets, I hope that the coming year will be auspicious.
The theme of the great cold is to get rid of the old cloth and the new, abandon the old, in order to meet the new.
2020 is a difficult year.
The wandering of unemployment and the fear of the virus suppress our nerves all the time.
The epidemic has completely disrupted the rhythm of work and life, making everyone miserable.
Everyone gritted their teeth and survived little by little.
To this day, many places are still strictly preventing the epidemic, but we are no longer afraid.
In the movie "Party A and Party B", Ge You once said: "1997 has passed, and I miss it very much. ”
The Year of the Rat is also passing, and many people are also sighing, and the unforgettable heart of this year is unforgettable.
But when man is alive, he has to look ahead.
No matter what happened in the past year, no matter how much unhappiness there was in that year, it was all over.
Big things and small things, good things and bad things, will become a thing of the past.
The only thing we can grasp is the present, and the only thing we can expect is the future.
In half a month, it will be LiChun, and after LiChun, it will be the Year of the Ox.
There is no winter that is insurmountable, and there is no spring that does not come.
Survive the cold winter, spring is warm and blossoming; the plague of the Year of the Rat is gone, and the year of the ox is coming.
