Is the Great Cold the coldest solar term?

Theoretically, the great cold is the coldest solar term, but this is not necessarily the case. Slight cold, like severe cold, is a solar term indicating the cold weather. In some parts of China, severe cold is not as cold as slight cold, but in some years and a few coastal areas, the lowest temperature in the whole year will still appear in the severe cold solar terms.

Is the Great Cold the coldest solar term?

"Twenty-four solar terms" is an important part of the long history and culture of the Chinese nation, which embodies the historical and cultural essence of Chinese civilization. We have recited 24 solar terms since childhood. The first solar term is beginning of spring, and the last solar term is Great Cold. Every year around 65438+10.20, when the sun reaches 300, it is called "great cold", which means the weather is extremely cold. Although literally, a bad cold is colder than a mild one. But in meteorological records, slight cold is often colder than severe cold. Although the great cold is not as cold as the slight cold season, the frequency of cold wave going south in the great cold season is higher. Cold waves and strong cold air usually bring strong winds, cooling, rain and snow.

Although the weather is cold during the great cold solar term, it will not be as cold as from heavy snow to winter solstice, because it is close to spring. And the great cold is coming, and it is not far from the Spring Festival. At this time, people are busy getting rid of old decorations, pickling new year's dishes and preparing new year's goods, and can't feel the cold of the great cold.
