When it's cold, we usually spend a period of nine days. We slowly feel the cold, and gradually spend the most difficult time in life when we can feel the winter temperature. At this time, we must pay attention to health preservation.
When is Xiaohan in 2022
Xiaohan is in January. According to our traditional practice, Xiaohan belongs to the intersection of winter and spring. This is the time when the representative of winter appears. It is the coldest time. But after this time, it means that the weather is gradually warming up, which is also the beginning of spring. On January 5, 2022, Xiaohan will be the 23rd solar term. Between January 5-7, the sun will be located at 285 ° of yellow longitude. For China, Xiaohan marks the beginning of the coldest day of the year. According to China's meteorological data, Xiaohan is the solar term with the lowest temperature, and only a few years of severe cold are lower than Xiaohan.
Xiaohan is the lunar month and date
Winter is the representative of Xiaohan. In the December of the lunar calendar, we gradually ushered in a very cold phase of winter. But at this time, there are many traditional folk customs that help us enrich this time. On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, "La Ji" means three things. First, it means not forgetting the origin of oneself and his family, and expressing respect and memory for their ancestors. The second is to offer sacrifices to hundreds of gods and thank them for their contributions to agriculture in the past year. The third is that people work hard all the year round. At this time, farming is over, so they can have fun. Another important folk custom in the Xiaohan solar term is to eat Laba porridge. It is recorded in ancient books that Laba porridge is cooked with yellow rice, white rice, millet, peeled jujube paste and other water, and externally dyed with red peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, etc. These foods are sweet and warm, and have the effects of regulating the spleen and stomach, tonifying the middle and qi, nourishing the blood, expelling cold and strengthening the body, promoting fluid and stopping thirst.
Xiao Han's Proverbs
In the seventh and eighth year of the lunar calendar, the dry ducks died of cold. Waqi Waba, frozen feet. Three nine, four nine, freeze broken mortar. Three nine, four nine, walk on the ice. There is heavy snow every year. There is no snow on March 9 and April 9, and the drought on May 9 and June 9 is still coming. It will be white on the third day of December, and wheat will be harvested in the coming year. Every family has wheat during the three white days of the twelfth lunar month. The third white lunar month is suitable for wheat and vegetables. The snow in December is half a foot thick, and the wheat is not enough. Nine miles of snow melts ten feet, and there is no place to put wheat. Nine miles of snow is as hard as iron. In the three fogs of the December, the road is formed on the bottom of the river. If the river is not closed on March 9, there will be more hail in the coming year. A little cold is better than a great cold, which is not rare. Small Cold Festival, 15 days, 78 days in 39 days.
