Extended data:

The Great Cold is the last of the 24 solar terms. Every year around 65438+1October 20th in the Gregorian calendar, it is called "Great Cold" when the sun reaches 300 degrees along the Yellow Meridian, and it is from March 9th to April 9th. At this time, the cold wave frequently goes south, which is the coldest period of the year. There is a folk saying that "a slight cold is the most important thing, and it is cold without wind."

Great cold refers to extremely cold weather. Although the setting sun in the northern hemisphere is the most severe during the winter solstice solar term, the coldest time in a year is the slight cold and great cold solar terms after the winter solstice solar term, especially the great cold solar term; This is because after the winter solstice, the direct sunlight point will gradually move northward, but in the following time, the direct sunlight point will always be in the southern hemisphere, and the heat in the northern hemisphere will always be lost. The heat absorbed during the day is still less than the heat released at night. Therefore, after the winter solstice, the temperature in the northern hemisphere will continue to decrease, reaching the lowest point in the great cold solar term, and the great cold will become the coldest solar term in a year.
