It marks the official start of winter. Cold air is cold for a long time, and slight cold means that the weather is cold but not extreme. The weather characteristics of slight cold are: it gets cold, but it is not cold yet.

As the saying goes, "Cold is on March 9th". Because the "March 9" in the middle of winter is basically within this solar term, there is a saying that "a slight cold is not as good as a great cold".

The archaic "slight cold" is Da Lian Road in Yuan Zhen, and a happy magpie builds a new nest. Picking up food to find a winding path, holding purple around the treetops. The frost eagle is near the north head, and the pheasant is hidden in the bushes.

Not strange but strict, spring and summer are in the first month. The coldest winter begins today. I like the deep silence in winter. There is something deeply buried, firm and firm, supporting the whole season.

Narcissus is the solar term flower of slight cold, which means respect, auspiciousness and reunion. Narcissus blooms for the Spring Festival. It blooms around the Spring Festival and is one of our common New Year's Eve flowers.

Wang Zengqi wrote in The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival: Narcissus, Chimonanthus praecox and Tianzhu are based on their bright colors. In the middle of winter, when the wind blows and the flowers wither, it is a pleasure for the elderly to sit at the sunny window with bright eyes. "

In ancient times, the importance of etiquette and customs was not the first month of the lunar calendar, but beginning of spring Day; Major sacrifices to the gods and ancestors, exorcising evil spirits, praying for blessings and welcoming the new are arranged in beginning of spring and a few days before and after; This series of festival activities not only constitutes the framework of the New Year's Eve Festival in later generations, but also retains its folk function to this day.
