Which solar term is the coldest?

Slight cold is the coldest of the 24 solar terms in the whole year.

The slight cold solar term coincides with "March 9" and "March 949 on the ice", which is also the coldest day of the year.

As the saying goes, "it is not uncommon for a slight cold to be better than a severe cold", which means that it is nothing unusual for a slight cold solar term to be colder than a severe cold solar term. Slight cold usually occurs during February 9 and March 9, which is the coldest time in the north of China. After the slight cold, the temperature of heavy cold rose slightly.

Folk culture of slight cold solar terms

The slight cold solar term originally originated in the Yellow River Basin. It is said that in the early years, every farmer in the Yellow River valley used the "Nine-Nine Cold Map" to keep out the cold and keep fit.

Entering the slight cold, the flavor of the year is getting stronger and stronger. People are busy writing Spring Festival couplets, cutting window grilles, and going to the market to buy New Year pictures, colored lights, firecrackers, incense and so on. Prepare for the coming Spring Festival one after another.
