Today is January 6, 2024, Xiaohan.
Xiaohan is the fifth solar term of winter and the penultimate solar term of the 24 solar terms, at this time, the sun is located at 285 degrees of yellow longitude, around the time of "39".
In the ancient book "Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order", it says: "On the December Festival, the cold at the beginning of the month is still small, so the clouds, the more half of the time, the bigger." ”
The arrival of Xiaohan marks the coldest day of the year. The cathode is the same, and the yang energy is reborn.
The ancients on the mainland divided Xiaohan into three waits, one waited for the wild goose to the north of the township, and the wild goose migrated along the yin and yang, and when they sensed that the yang energy had moved, they began to return to the north in groups.
The second magpie has the ability to know about climate change, and the second time it will get the solar terms of the next year, and begin to build a nest with grass and prepare to lay eggs.
The pheasant chirps as it approaches the fourth and ninth days of the year, as if calling for the arrival of spring.
After Xiaohan, in another month, it will be the beginning of spring. Animals have sensed the climate change and are taking action.
At this time, the northern region is frozen for thousands of miles, thousands of miles of snow drifts, and there is a white snow everywhere, everything in the south is collected, the mountains and rivers are lonely, and the earth is depressed.
When the cold is unexpected, the plum blossoms bloom in the cold, revealing the fragrance alone, the dark fragrance is sparse, and the poetry is charming.
"If it weren't for the cold bones, how could you get the fragrance of plum blossoms. ”
In these nine cold days, on the days when the snow falls, invite two or three confidants, enjoy the plum blossoms and listen to the snow, and talk around the fireplace at night, which has a special taste. On a sunny weekend, take your family for a stroll under the warm sun, and quietly feel the good times flowing through your fingertips.
The chill is deep, but the heart is warm. The wax moon is approaching, and the footsteps of the Lunar New Year are not far away. The wandering wanderers are eager to return home.
After a year of hard work, seeing that the day of reunion is getting closer and closer, I think of the loving and kind faces of my parents and the innocent smiling faces of my children, and my heart is warm.
All the hardships and fatigue are worth it, because there is the fullness and heaviness of the present, and there is the expectation and enthusiasm for tomorrow.
The people at home began to get busy, selling New Year's goods, loading sausages, smoking bacon, corned beef, and making cured pork ribs......
"Children, don't be greedy, children, after Laba is the New Year. ”
When I was a child, I smelled the strong smell of the New Year as soon as I arrived in the wax moon, and I stood on the threshold of time every day and tore the calendar, just waiting for the arrival of the year.
When there is hope in the days, the heart is always sweet. Think of a large family, sitting around, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, talking and laughing, family affection, and happiness, the picture is warm and happy.
There is expectation in the heart, the days are bright, there is warmth in the heart, and there is no fear of the cold years.
Today's Xiaohan, may you smile often, joy always accompany, may your heart have flowers, and the years are fragrant!
