What are the characteristics of the great cold solar terms?

1, severe cold solar terms, relatively stable atmospheric circulation, circulation adjustment period of about 20 days. When this circulation is adjusted, there will often be a wide range of rain and snow weather and strong winds to cool down. When the west of 80 degrees east longitude is a long wave ridge and East Asia is a coastal trough, under the influence of northwest wind and constantly supplemented cold air, China will have a sustained low temperature. Like slight cold, great cold is also a solar term indicating the degree of cold weather. Modern meteorological observation records show that in some areas of China, severe cold is not as good as slight cold, but in some years and a few coastal areas, the annual minimum temperature will still appear within the severe cold solar terms. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to do a good job in the cold protection of crops, especially to protect livestock from wintering.

2. In the severe cold season, the average temperature in most parts of southern China is 6℃ to 8℃, which is nearly 65438 0℃ higher than slight cold. The proverb "slight cold and cold, cold into a ball" shows that the great cold solar terms are also the cold period of the year.

3. For some crops, proper low temperature is necessary in a certain growth period. Wheat and rape with strong winterness need lower temperature through vernalization stage, otherwise they cannot grow and develop normally. Most of southern China is warm in winter all year round. Wheat and rape sown too early often grow too vigorously, bolting in advance, and their cold resistance is greatly weakened, which makes them vulnerable to low temperature frost. It can be seen that selecting crop varieties according to local conditions, sowing and planting in time and taking effective measures to promote and control are important links to win high yield.
