小寒料峭,
A spring for the New Year.
Xiaohan, the fifth solar term of winter,
It is also the first solar term of 2024.
The ancients:
The cold air accumulates for a long time and becomes cold,
Small, not to the extreme,
Although the cold has not reached the extreme,
But Xiaohan means the coldest time of the year,
It's already here.
This year's little cold time
Saturday, January 6, 2024
The twenty-fifth day of the winter month of the lunar calendar
The cold solstice, the beginning of the harsh winter,
When the wind blows and the snow falls, say hello to the winter,
愿三冬不寒，余岁安暖！
Kokan
The wind has a letter, and the flowers are not wrong
In ancient times, there was a trade wind, and it started from a small cold.
The flower trade wind is the wind that blows when the flowers bloom,
In the eyes of the ancients, before each flower bloomed,
They will all use the wind as a letter to convey the message of blooming.
And the cold season is the beginning of the trade wind.
In the cold winter wax moon, all things wither,
In the cold season, but in the coldest season,
There are the most beautiful flowers, which are about to bloom.
Wait for plum blossoms
The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow,
Dark incense floats in the moon dusk.
Plum blossom, the representative of the Chinese temperament,
From ancient times to the present, there are many people who rejoice,
Countless literati and writers are fascinated by it.
Or look at or appreciate, or poetry or painting,
All show their graceful style.
Someone patrolled the mountains for it:
Smell the plum blossoms and the wind, and the snowdrifts are all over the four mountains.
How can he be incarnated into 100 billion, a tree of plum blossoms and a release.
Some people praise its integrity:
My family washes the inkstone pond tree, and the flowers bloom with light ink marks.
Don't let people praise the color, only leave the air full of goodness.
A plum blossom, a few wisps of incense,
has no intention of fighting for spring, but it has its own poetry,
Reported the spring letter, full of innocence.

Erkei Mountain Tea
The camellia is like a fire,
The mountain city is full of cold smoke.
Some people say:
"Camellia has the bones of pine and cypress,
There is also a peach and plum posture. ”
Camellia is easily overlooked in winter,
Following it when the plum blossoms are in full bloom,
It's also easy to be hidden under the style of plum blossoms,
But it is never discouraged, and it is cold,
The fiery red and delicate color ignites the enthusiasm of Sandong.
Camellia is an existence that cannot be underestimated.
Some people compare it to peonies:
The poet of the scenery praised when he saw it, and he pitied Gao Yun and said black tea.
The peony uses the power of three springs in vain, and it is not a flower when it blooms.
Some people praise its good looks:
The old leaves are cold and strong, and the scarlet spots are in the snow.
May Xi Kwai Weed be loyal and courageous, how can it be to compete for the rich and noble.
Camellia is so beautiful that it is low-key,
But never lost to any flower,
It has beauty, it has character,
Take care of ourselves to blossom, and wait until we want to admire,
It brings happiness and good fortune to all.
Three-weather daffodils
Limbo Fairy Dust Socks,
Light steps on the water.
Daffodils, flowers are as their name suggests.
Born by water, not stained with dust,
fluttering like a smart fairy,
It is most suitable for the end of the year, praying for blessings and smelling incense.
Some people say that it is a fairy wind bone:
The water can be fairy and strange, and the cold fragrance is lonely and moves the ice muscles.
Who has the fairy wind dao bone today?
Some people praise him for his cleanliness:
The years are shaking and falling, and a kind of breeze is absolutely pitiful.
It is not allowed to invade the vegetarian with sludge, and it is all dependent on the wind and dew.
Although the narcissus is clear and the case is clear, it has its own style and bones,
Quietly open, quietly incense,
In the long time, accompany people through the cold at the end of the year.
Kokan
The bird knows where it returns, and there is an expectation
As the saying goes:
"Flowers and trees are in season, and birds are singing to report the agricultural time. ”
The cold season is the beginning of the trade winds,
It is also the beginning of the bird's perception of yang energy.
In the eyes of the ancients, "birds are the first to be angry." ”
Qi is yang energy.
After the winter solstice, yang energy will gradually arise,
When it comes to the cold season,
The birds are already feeling a little warmer.
And Xiaohan is completely a bird
Solar terms as phenological identifiers.

Xiaohan has three candidates:
一候雁北乡(xiàng)
Township, for the meaning of tendency.
In the eyes of the ancients,
The geese among the migratory birds migrate along the yin and yang,
Now that the little cold solar term, the yang energy has moved,
Therefore, the wild geese began to plan to move north,
Although I can't reach it, my heart yearns for it.
The second magpie first nests
Magpies, which are common birds in the north,
It's also in the cold season,
When you feel the yang energy, you also start to build a nest,
Come and prepare for the arrival of spring.
三雉始鸲 (qú)
The robin means to chirp,
In the cold season, the birds that hide their tracks,
will make a courtship chirp because of the feeling of yang,
It's the only bird song that can be heard all winter.
The bird knows the return, the year knows the cold,
Xiaohan solar term,
It's the beginning, it's also the expectation,
In the coldest weather,
With hope,
You can always see the poetic feeling.
Early skinny plum first
Thousands of miles of ice in the distance
The clouds are low and twilight
Fishing alone in the cold river and snow
Kokan
At the beginning of the harsh winter, wait for the spring to return
It is recorded in the "Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order":
"Little Han, December Festival,
At the beginning of the month, the cold is still small, so the clouds.
Half a month is a big deal. ”
Xiaohan is the solar term that marks the change of temperature and temperature.
And in many folk sayings,
changes in small cold weather,
It also brings a forecast of the temperature of the coming season.
Like what:
"Little cold, stinging cold;
The small cold is warm, and the spring is cold;
Xiaohan is not cold, Qingming quagmire. ”
As soon as the Xiaohan solar term arrives,
It represents us,
Approaching the coldest time of the year,
The small cold and the big cold freeze into ice masses.
And the solar terms corresponding to the small cold and the big cold,
It's a small heat and a big heat.
We all know that the big heat is hotter than the small heat,
So, as a rule,
The big cold is also colder than the small cold,
But in fact, the small cold is colder than the big cold,
As the saying goes:
"A small cold is better than a big cold, and it is not uncommon to see it. ”
And how to answer this question,
I like this answer:
The reason why Xiaohan is colder than Da Han,
It's because of the cold season,
We're just beginning to step into the coldest of times,
Our bodies have not yet adapted to the changes in the climate,
Therefore, even if it is a little cold, the cold does not reach the extreme,
I also felt extra cold.
And when it comes to the big cold,
We've gotten through it,
It's a very cold time,
Our bodies gradually adapt to the climate of deep winter,
And, after the great cold,
It's spring, and the warmth is coming,
Therefore, in the cold season, even if the cold reaches the extreme,
We don't think that's the case.
That's why we often say:
"Winter has arrived, will spring be far away?"
Only to endure the biting cold,
in order to understand the beauty of spring flowers;
And as long as we look forward to it,
will eventually cross the bitter cold,
Welcome another spring and Jingming.
Xiao Han, the beginning of the winter ending song,
We'll be in the coldest wind,
To look forward to, to wait for the greatest warmth.
The Xiaohan solar term has arrived
May the flowers always bloom and the moon always full,
People are Chang'an, the years are long, the days are long,
Winter Sui auspicious, wishful and safe!
At 4:49 on January 6, the Xiaohan solar term was ushered in.
愿你三冬不寒，岁月安暖，
May your days
Like the warm sun in winter, full of hope,
Xiaohan is healthy and auspicious.
