On January 6,
We are ushering in the 24 solar terms
The penultimate solar term - Xiaohan.
"Little cold time at 239,
It was freezing and shivering. ”
This year's "Little Cold"
Beginning on the seventh day of the twenty-ninth day,
Ended on the third day of the 49th,
It's the coldest time of the year.
At this time, the wind is blowing strongly, and there are often cold snaps.
Rivers are frozen, soil is frozen,
All things in heaven and earth are even more lonely.
In the season of cold and freezing,
There's no shortage of steaming joy,
People dancing on the ice in skates,
Riding on skis in the snow,
Build snowmen and have snowball fights in the snow
……
Feel the unique charm of snow and ice.
Kokan Sankei
A waiting for Yanbei Township,
The first nest of the second magpie,
三候雉始鸲。
Extreme cold,
It often accumulates vigorous vitality.
In the cold season, the yang energy is gradually flourishing,
Wheat seedlings extend deep into the soil,
Magpies begin to nest and multiply,
The pheasants in the mountains and forests also began to chirp,
Add a breath of life to the cold winter.
"Don't blame Yan Ningche,
Spring and winter are at the turn of the first month. ”
At this time, although the weather is unbearable,
But it is about to usher in the intersection of winter and spring,
Creatures have begun to sprout,
The frost and snow will melt eventually,
Spring will eventually come.
"The clogs startled,
Hyacinth. ”
As the head of the "twenty-four flower trade winds",
Plum blossoms are the first to convey the message of spring,
The plum blossoms that are spitting in the wind and fragrant in the dark,
Remind people that spring is near.
With the "twenty-four flower trade winds" of the season,
The starting solar term is Xiaohan.
"Xiaohan"'s three "flower trade winds"
plum blossoms, camellias, and daffodils, respectively,
They are opened one after another in season,
Add a touch of color to the cold winter.
Plum blossoms are the fighters of winter,
It's also a spirit in the wind and snow,
Her noble character and elegant soul,
Attracting countless literati and ink writers to splash ink,
Leave many images of plum for the world:
"The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the moon dusk", the smart and elegant plum in the dusk,
"The plum is three points white and the snow is white, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum", the beautiful and refined plum,
"A few plums in the corner, Ling Han opens alone" in the proud snow and frosty plums,
"Don't let people praise the color, only leave the clear air full of good" in the cold and noble plum.
The snow is over the sky,
You might as well make an appointment with three or five friends,
Go to a plum blossom appointment,
Or treading the snow to find the plum or exploring the plum to find the fragrance,
In "Dark Fragrance Floating".
Looking for the earliest spring.
Xiaohan Xi
Eat sticky rice
In Guangzhou, there is a Xi of eating sticky rice in the morning of Xiaohan. Sticky rice is not just about cooking glutinous rice, it is served with stir-fried "cured meat" (sausage and bacon), coriander, chopped green onion and other ingredients.
Stuttering Yellow Sprouts
In Tianjin, there was a Xi of eating yellow sprouts in the old days. According to the record of "Jinmen Miscellaneous Records", after the winter solstice, the cabbage is removed from the stems and leaves, and the cabbage heart is about two inches from the ground to close the cellar, and the food is taken after half a month, which is extremely crisp and tender.
Ice play
In the northern part of the continent, after the winter, the weather is cold and the ground is frozen, the ice period is very long, people are in the place where the ice surface is particularly thick, there are ice beds for pedestrians to play, and there are also those who wear skates to race on the ice surface, which is called ice play in ancient times.
小寒料峭,
A spring for the New Year,
Let's enjoy the charm of winter to the fullest,
Looking forward to the arrival of spring.
