Slight cold custom food

The custom food of Xiaohan is 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.

Because the traditional foods eaten in different regions are different, there are still many traditional foods eaten in the slight cold season. Slight cold is the 23rd solar term in 24 solar terms and the 5th solar term in winter. The slight cold to the severe cold coincides with March 9, which means that the day of going out and freezing into a dog is coming, so there is a saying that "the slight cold is frozen into a ball".

Weather characteristics of slight cold

It's getting cold, but it's not. In the slight cold season, the direct point of the sun is still in the southern hemisphere, and the heat in the northern hemisphere is still in a state of loss. The heat absorbed during the day is still less than the heat released at night, so the temperature in the northern hemisphere continues to decrease.

The climate in south and north of China is quite different. According to China's long-term meteorological records, the slight cold solar terms in the northern region are colder than the severe cold solar terms; But for most parts of the south, the big cold solar terms are colder than the small ones.

The average temperature during the slight cold in Beijing is generally around -5℃, and the extreme minimum temperature is below-15℃. At this time, the average temperature in Northeast China is around -30℃, the extreme minimum temperature can be as low as -50℃, and the average maximum temperature in the afternoon is only -20℃.

At this time, the average temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is generally around 5℃. Although the field is still full of vitality, cold air sometimes goes south, causing certain harm.
