Ode to the twelve solar terms

The extremes of things must be reversed, and the extreme cold must revive.

Great cold, the end of the 24 solar terms, the beginning of the four seasons cycle.

A slight cold is not cold, but a big cold. After the big cold, the weather gets warmer. As the name implies, it is the coldest time of the year. Although the north wind at this time is like a sword, it is biting cold, but it also has a charm.

An ode, when it is cold, is especially enchanting in the ice and snow, with wax trees and shady mountains. Trekking in the snow, skating, Xun Mei, enjoying the lights, a pot of soju, three or two friends, chatting around the stove at night, waiting for the return of spring.

Second, spring water was born in the depths of hard ice, pregnant with the vitality of spring in the cold wind, and sprouted the buds of life under the cover of ice and snow. After the great cold, beginning of spring was ushered in, where everything was su, the trees were green and full of vitality.

Three ode, the Great Cold is the prelude to the Lunar New Year. We are about to usher in the biggest national carnival, offering sacrifices to the gods and ancestors, receiving blessings, exorcising evil spirits, getting rid of the old and getting rid of the new, and decorating with lanterns, He Xinchun.

Only when the cold dissipates can spring return to the earth, and only after tempering can it break ground and be reborn.

Life is also cold, we should praise it, face all difficulties and setbacks with a smile, keep ourselves, keep the sun up, and wait for spring to return to the earth.
