It's getting cold, but it's not. The phenological characteristics of the slight cold solar term are "in Yanbei Township, magpies began to nest and pheasants began to pheasant".

Second, the custom of slight cold:

1, La Worship offered sacrifices to the gods:

Pray for a bumper harvest in La Worship. This is a traditional folk sacrificial culture with a long history. The ancients hunted in the twelfth lunar month and sacrificed the captured animals to their ancestors. According to "Custom Pass", "Wax hunters". Because hunting animals sacrifices ancestors, or catching wax, new ones are handed over, and hunting sacrifices are also rewarded. " It can be seen that "wax" means hunting, offering sacrifices with wild animals or poultry raised by oneself, first offering sacrifices to ancestors and then offering sacrifices to the gods.

2. Eat glutinous rice:

In Guangzhou, Han Xiao wants to eat glutinous rice in the morning. Glutinous rice is not just boiled glutinous rice. It will be served with fried "bacon" (commonly known as sausage and bacon in Guangdong), coriander, chopped green onion and other materials, which tastes particularly fragrant. "Leaving fragrance" is essential for cooking glutinous rice. On the one hand, it is high in fat and cold-resistant; On the other hand, glutinous rice itself is sticky, and rice smells heavy. It needs some oil to mix the flavor.

Meteorological changes of slight cold solar terms;

During the slight cold solar term, the East Asian trough developed the strongest and most stable, the Mongolian cold high and Aleutian low also reached the strongest and most stable, and the ridge scale of the westerly trough reached the maximum, which matched the strongest westerly intensity. The cooling process of cold air is frequent in the slight cold season, but few of them reach the cold wave standard. There is a saying in northern China that "slight cold is better than severe cold, which is common but not rare", meaning that the solar terms of slight cold are colder than those of severe cold, which is nothing unusual.

Slight cold usually occurs from February 9th to March 9th, which is the coldest time of the year in northern China. After the slight cold, the temperature of heavy cold rose slightly. The coldest in southern China is in April and September, which is colder than in March and September. In April and September, it was the great cold solar term, and the great cold in the southern region was colder than the slight cold. There is a folk saying that "it's 239 when it's cold, and it's shivering with cold", which shows the cold degree of solar terms.

During the slight cold season, most parts of China have entered a severe cold period, with frozen soil and rivers frozen. In addition, the cold air in the north keeps going south and the weather is cold. People call it "counting nine cold days" Although the south of China is not as cold as the north, the temperature drops obviously. The coldest time in the south is slight cold and severe cold, between rain and fright. It is dry and cold when it is a little cold, and it is wet and cold after the rain.
