Xiaohan is the twenty-third of the twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term in winter. Every year on January 5 or 6, when the sun reaches 285 degrees of yellow longitude, it is a small cold.

Mood swings can lead to poor qi in the body, which can easily lead to cardiovascular disease. Therefore, during the cold season, we should maintain a good routine Xi and avoid overwork and mood swings.
