What are the traditional activities of the origin and meaning of the slight cold solar terms?

Xiao Han, when it comes to this word, the first impression that may be given is that the weather is cold. But we should not be misled by the word slight cold. This slight cold time has reached the stage of 3949, which is the coldest time in winter. Pay more attention to keep warm at this time.

The origin and meaning of slight cold are the same as great cold, slight summer heat, great summer heat and summer heat, and they are all solar terms indicating temperature changes. "Twenty-four solar terms" says that "the cold is still small at the beginning of the month ... but it is big in half a month", that is to say, in the Yellow River basin, the cold at that time was colder than the small one. And because the slight cold is still in the last few days of February 9, it will enter March 9 in a few days, and the slight cold in winter corresponds to the slight heat in summer, so it is called slight cold. The great cold solar term, located after the slight cold solar term, is also very cold on April 9, when "sleeping like camping in Kuya". The great cold in winter corresponds to the great heat in summer, so it is called the great cold. The slight cold is characterized by getting colder and colder, but it is not cold yet. The "March 9th" in the middle of winter is basically within this solar term, so there is a saying that "slight cold is better than severe cold". This is because on the solstice of last winter, the surface received the least sunlight and heat, but the heat in the deep soil supplemented this, so it was not the coldest time of the year. From the solstice after beginning of winter, around the "March 9th", the heat in the deep soil was also exhausted. Although the sunshine and heat will increase a little, it will still make ends meet, so there will be the lowest temperature in the whole year.

The traditional custom of the slight cold solar term is 1. There is a proverb among people who eat soybean sprouts: a slight cold and a great cold make ice hockey. It can be seen that the degree of cold in the great cold and slight cold seasons. Literally, the great cold is greater than the slight cold, but in fact, the slight cold is usually on the sixth day of February 9, and then three or four days is the time period of March 9, so it can be said that the slight cold solar term is the coldest solar term in a year. In order to keep out the cold, Chinese teenagers will have some special physical exercises when they have a slight cold, such as rolling iron rings, squeezing oil residue (against the wall) and fighting cocks (propping up on one foot and fighting independently). Rural Hunan is also very popular until now. According to "Miscellanies of Jinmen", there was a custom of eating soybean sprouts in Tianjin in the old days. Soybean sprouts are a specialty of Tianjin, made of Chinese cabbage buds. In winter to the future, cut off the stems and leaves of cabbage, leaving only the heart of cabbage, about two inches from the ground, covered with manure, airtight. After half a month, it is crisp and tender, which makes up for the shortage of vegetables in winter. Modern people's living standards have improved, and all kinds of vegetables and meat are available all year round. They are no longer worried about the scarcity of vegetables in winter as in the past.

2. Eating Laba porridge in slight cold is generally between slight cold and great cold. Speaking of slight cold, it means the Spring Festival is coming soon. On Laba, there is a custom of drinking Laba porridge all over the north and south. According to legend, this custom originated from Buddhist temples. On one occasion, Shi Amuni fainted because of hunger in the process of spiritual practice, and was only able to survive after being fed glutinous rice porridge with wild fruits by a kind shepherdess. This day is the eighth day of February in 65438, and Buddhists cook porridge for the Buddha on this day. The porridge cooked on this day is called Laba porridge, and Laba becomes "Buddha Enlightenment Day". After spreading to the people, it has been spread to modern society. Laba porridge has many ingredients. According to Yanjing Lunar New Year Laba Porridge, Laba Porridge is cooked with yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, water chestnut, red beans and peeled jujube paste. Covered with red peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, sticks, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar and trivial things.
