The beautiful meaning of slight cold solar terms

Slight cold stands for moral: it has a taste of a year at first, and the year is coming to an end, so we begin to prepare for the new year.

Slight cold represents that we have entered a colder solar term in a year. Although it is not extremely cold, we need to be prepared to keep warm. The heat in the northern hemisphere will continue to disappear, less heat will be absorbed during the day, and the temperature difference between day and night will be greater.

The slight cold is still in the last few days of February 9, and it will take several days for the slight cold to enter March 9, and the slight cold in winter corresponds to the slight heat in summer, so it is called slight cold. The slight cold also hints at the taste of New Year to some extent. As the year is coming to an end, we begin to prepare for the new year.

Characteristics of slight cold climate change;

In ancient times, there were proverbs of slight cold, such as "slight cold, freezing into a ball" and "walking in the street, losing money", all of which described the coldness of this solar term. The season of slight cold is around "Sanjiu", as the saying goes, "Cold is in Sanjiu". The slight cold season is not the coldest time of the year, because during the winter solstice last year, the surface got the least sunshine and heat, but the heat in the deep soil supplemented this.

After the winter solstice, that is, around March 9, the heat in the deep soil was consumed. Although the sunshine and heat increased slightly, it still made ends meet, so the lowest temperature in the whole year appeared.
