It's ugly, the solar longitude reaches 300, and it's celebrated every year at 65438+1October 20th to 2 1 day. Great cold, like slight cold, is also a solar term indicating the cold weather. Great cold refers to extremely cold weather. During the great cold solar term on March 9 and April 9, cold waves frequently go south, which is the coldest season in a year, with strong wind and low temperature.

According to China's long-term meteorological records, there is no slight cold in the great cold solar terms in the northern region; But for most parts of the south, it is the coldest of the great cold solar terms. In ancient China, the Great Cold was divided into three stages: "One stage is chicken milk; Second, the symptoms of bird disease; Three times, the water is strong. " Among them, the third kind of weather can especially show that the temperature of the great cold is extremely low.
