"Whether it's cold or not, it depends on the day of Xiaohan", January 6, Xiaohan's solar term, why do you say that?
Time flies so fast, after the winter solstice, it ushered in the Xiaohan solar term, and for Xiaohan, it is also the coldest day of the year. At this time, the weather is cold and frozen, and it is closed into winter, and the scene in the northern region is thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow drifting.
Of course, Xiaohan is a solar term that reflects the temperature of cold and warm, and we can know from its name that the characteristic of this day is "cold". As for the degree of cold in Xiaohan, the agricultural proverb is also clear——— "When Xiaohan is in 239, the sky is cold and the ground is freezing and shivering".
Of course, as for whether this year's winter is a "cold winter" or a "warm winter", in fact, there are still some sayings in some rural proverbs, such as this sentence "Whether it is cold or not, it depends on the day of Xiaohan". So what does that mean, and why do you say that? Let me answer:
Characteristics of this year's Xiaohan solar term:
"Ancient Sayings" says:
"The cold air accumulates for a long time and becomes cold, and the small one is not extreme. ”
From the meaning of this sentence, although the climate characteristics of Xiaohan are cold, they are not yet cold to the extreme, hence the name "small". However, in the eyes of the ancients, the cold has a process of development, so the period that does not reach the coldest is designated as "small cold".
The Xiaohan solar term is the fifth solar term in winter, and the annual festival period is from January 5th to January 7th, and lasts for 15 days.
After the Xiaohan solar term, the weather continues to get colder, so the Xiaohan solar term is also the coldest solar term of the year, and only a few years of the Dahan solar term are lower than the Xiaohan. Therefore, after the Xiaohan solar term, people can do preparatory activities for the Spring Festival - Xiaohan and Dahan, killing pigs for the New Year.
For the characteristics of Xiaohan's solar terms, the ancient book "Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Moon Order" records as follows:
"Little Han, December Festival. At the beginning of the month, the cold is still small, so the clouds are cloudy, and the moon and a half are large. ”
The meaning of this sentence is that the Xiaohan solar term is generally "intersected" in December, that is, the lunar month, the beginning of the month of the month ushered in the small cold, and the half of the month ushered in the big cold.
But this year's Xiaohan solar term came a little earlier, on the twenty-fifth day of the winter month of the lunar calendar, so this year's Xiaohan belongs to the "early Xiaohan".
Of course, for the characteristics of Xiaohan, the ancients expressed it with "phenological phenomena":
First candidate: Yanbei Township,
The ancients believed that the geese migrated along the yin and yang among the migratory birds, so with the arrival of the Xiaohan solar term, the geese had sensed the germination of yang energy and began to prepare for the northward migration.
The second candidate: magpie nest,
The magpie is a resident bird, and 10~15 days after entering the Xiaohan solar term, the magpie that has already felt the yang energy is also very active at this time, and begins to build a nest to prepare for the reproduction of the little magpie.
The third candidate: the pheasant robin.
"Pheasant" means pheasant, while "robin" means chirping. At this time, entering the third phase of the Xiaohan solar term, that is, 10~15 days, the pheasant begins to chirp because of the growth of yang energy, and is ready to find a mate.
"Whether the Spring Festival is cold or not, it depends on the day of Xiaohan" means:
First, the agricultural proverb: "A little cold and warm baking, a single coat over 39", "A small cold rain blocks the door, and the beginning of spring takes off the cotton jacket".
A little cold and warm, single clothes over thirty-nine:
This agricultural proverb means that if the day of the Xiaohan solar term is very warm, then the following days are also very warm, even if it is the coldest "Sanjiu", it will not be too cold, and people can still wear single clothes to spend the winter.
This is why: we all know that the general Xiaohan solar term is between the 29th and 39th, and if the Xiaohan solar term is not cold on this day, then the 39th will not be too cold. Because in the Xiaohan solar term, there is no cold air in Siberia, there will be no snow in the north, and Sanjiu at this time is not cold.
A small cold rain blocks the door, and the beginning of spring takes off the padded jacket:
The meaning of this sentence is that if there is rain and snow on the day of Xiaohan, then by the beginning of spring, the weather is still very hot, and the hot can take off the padded jacket.
This is because: the coldest time is the Xiaohan solar term, which is also the Sanjiu season, if it is the coldest at this stage, then the cold climate has passed, and when it comes to the beginning of spring, the weather will be warm.
And this sentence has the same meaning as the previous sentence, which also shows the degree of warmth and coldness of the Xiaohan solar term.
Second, "the small cold is warm, and the spring snow blocks the door".
"Beginning of spring" refers to the beginning of the spring solar term, which is the first of the 24 solar terms. It is usually around February 4th. The "snow coming" refers to the heavy snowfall, snowflakes have fallen to the gate, which means that in the beginning of spring will be heavy snow weather, the temperature will be very low, is a "cold winter".
Therefore, the meaning of this sentence is that if it is relatively warm and the temperature rises on the day of Xiaohan, then there may be heavy snow around the beginning of spring.
Why is that?
According to the "rhythm" left by our ancestors, if the winter is too warm, it is easy to have a "cold spring" in spring.
This is because "warm in spring, hot in summer, cool in autumn, and cold in winter" is in line with the law of the four seasons, so the weather will be normal. However, if "it is not hot in summer and not cold in winter", then this will lead to the phenomenon of "whether it is cold or not cold is not a good year, and whether it should be hot or not hot and the grains do not bear", which is naturally not good.
Third, "a small cold and a big day, the cattle freeze to death in spring".
"Big sun" means sunny day. The "frozen cow" indicates that the spring is very cold, and there will even be a situation of "frozen cow", although this sentence is more exaggerated, but it also shows that the weather is abnormal.
So the meaning of this sentence is: if it is a sunny day in Xiaohan, and the temperature is very high, then after the beginning of spring, the weather will be very cold, and even the old cattle in the field will freeze to death.
Here's why:
In fact, the common people believe that there is a time for the coldness of winter, and the Xiaohan solar term should be the coldest season in winter. If the cold of winter is delayed, it will be extended to summer, and after the beginning of the spring solar term, the real cold weather will come.
Of course, this phenomenon is not good, because if it is not cold in winter, it will lead to "unknown seasons", and the phenomenon of "inverted spring cold" will occur.
Written at the end: Through the above, there are still some sayings about the agricultural proverb "whether it is cold or not, it depends on the day of Xiaohan", after all, the day of Xiaohan's solar term is not simple, it has the effect of cold and warm.
