The simplest characteristics of slight cold solar terms

The simplest characteristics of the slight cold solar term are: dry climate, sudden drop in temperature and dormancy of plants.

After the slight cold solar term, due to the temperature drop, the moisture in the air began to condense and the humidity decreased. At this time, cold air and hot air alternate in the air, resulting in large-scale evaporation of water, which reduces humidity and makes the climate dry.

In the slight cold solar term, most plants have completed their growing tasks and started to sleep. Leaves wither and fall to the ground, plants wither, and the vitality of the whole nature gradually stops. In this solar term, people can see withered leaves dancing with the wind, which seems to be that nature has entered a dormant state.

After the slight cold solar term, the daytime time is gradually prolonged, the sun rises earlier and sets later, and the sunshine time is gradually lengthened due to the change of the sun angle, which brings people a little warmth and hope.

Slight cold is the key solar term of agricultural activities. In rural areas of China, slight cold marks the beginning of annual sacrificial activities and farmland management. At this time, farmers are often very busy preparing for ancestor worship, and at the same time, they will also carry out agricultural activities such as ploughing, fertilizing and killing insects on farmland, laying the foundation for next year's bumper harvest.

The slight cold solar term is a symbol of popularity in winter. Since then, people have really felt the inconvenience and challenges brought by the cold, but it is this cold that has given birth to people's unique lifestyle and cultural connotation, and further stimulated people's enthusiasm for life.
