Brief introduction of great cold

The Great Cold is the last of the 24 solar terms. According to the usual thinking, this is a cold moment. Is that what we think? Let's see what the great cold means.

The severe cold is generally 65438+1October 20th -2 1 every year. Like slight cold, great cold is also a solar term indicating the degree of cold weather. In the traditional solar terms, the great cold is extremely cold. Some parts of our country are not as cold as slight cold, but in the southern coastal areas of our country, the lowest temperature will still appear in the great cold solar terms.

As soon as the great cold is over, the solar terms of the New Year come again. As the saying goes, winter goes and spring comes. At this time, people are busy getting rid of the old decorations, pickling new year's dishes, preparing new year's goods, offering sacrifices and cleaning things, because the most important festival of China people-Chinese New Year is coming.

The cold season is relatively cold, and the heat required by the human body also increases. Therefore, eating more foods with high fat content, such as mutton and beef, supplemented by medicated diet, can play a good role in keeping in good health and let people greet the arrival of the New Year with the healthiest attitude.
