What kinds of flowers are there in Hua Xinfeng's Slight Cold?

"When flowers and trees are in control, birds sing to report farming time." The ancients in our country believed that the wind came from the flowering period. After long-term observation and summary, the days when Xiao Han arrived in Grain Rain were divided into eight qi and twenty-four solar terms, each corresponding to a flower, which is the so-called "twenty-four Hua Xinfeng". Then let the old calendar introduce you to the representative flowers of the slight cold season that began in Hua Xinfeng on the 24th.

There are 24 times when Hua Xinfeng started with slight cold and ended in Grain Rain. As Gao Dongzharu said, "There is hyacinthus orientalis in the south of the Yangtze River from early spring to early summer", and the ancients said, "Winter solstice is a sunny day". Although the solstice of winter is still winter, it has hidden the bud of spring, so when plum blossoms first bloom in the slight cold season, the first "flower letter" will begin. The Hua Xinfeng of slight cold solar terms is: plum blossom in the first phase, camellia in the second phase and daffodil in the third phase.
