Dahan is the last of the 24 solar terms in China. After Dahan comes Lichun, which means the new year's solar term cycle begins. So is Dahan 2019 the coldest? When is the Great Cold? The twelfth month of the lunar calendar has many nicknames such as Ladong, Layue, Bingyue, etc. Let’s learn about the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2018 on Shuimoxiansheng.com.Is the Great Cold in 2019 the coldest?There is a folk saying: "Minor Cold is better than Major Cold, it is common and not rare." The period before the Great Cold is the "49 days". The weather is extremely cold at this time, close to the "Laba" in the lunar calendar, so there is a saying "Laba seven or eight, freeze your chin off". The so-called "walking on ice during the 39th and 49th days of winter" refers to the period before and after the Great Cold. Literally speaking, Dahan is colder than Xiaohan, but in meteorological records, Xiaohan is often colder than Dahan. Although not as cold as during the Lesser Cold season, cold waves frequently move southward during the Greater Cold season. Cold waves and strong cold air usually bring strong winds, cooling, rain and snow. "The Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold, everything is frozen into ice." During this season, you should pay attention to keeping warm when traveling, especially those with a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; eat more foods that are pungent and warm, and can dispel wind and cold; and keep your mood happy and peaceful.When is the Great Cold?Dahan is the last solar term among the 24 solar terms. It occurs when the sun reaches 300° of the ecliptic longitude around January 20 every year. Dahan means the weather is extremely cold. "Shushi Tongkao Tianshi" quotes "Sanli Yi Zong": "Dahan is the middle one, it is better than Xiaohan, so it is called Dahan. It is the coldest time of the year in most parts of my country, with strong winds, low temperatures, and snow on the ground that does not melt, presenting a severe cold scene of ice and snow. The poem says, "The wax trees and silver mountains shine brightly, while the north wind whistles alone and quiets the three rivers. The old farmer still likes the snow in the sky, let alone the fragrance of wheat and fruits next year. (Zuohe Water)" Dahan is the last of the 24 solar terms in China. After Dahan, it is Lichun, which ushers in the cycle of solar terms for a new year.As the saying goes: "Flowers and trees indicate the seasons, and birds' singing heralds the farming season." Flowers, trees, birds, animals and other animals all move according to the seasons, so their regular movements are seen as an important symbol for distinguishing the seasons. In ancient China, the Great Cold was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when chickens lay eggs; the second stage is when migratory birds fly fast; the third stage is when the bellies of fish in marshes become hard." This means that chicks can be hatched during the Great Cold. During the last five days of the year, the ice in the water freezes all the way to the center and is the strongest and thickest, so children can enjoy skating on the river (this activity is only allowed when the average daily temperature remains below -5℃ for several consecutive days, and this activity usually occurs in the area north of the Yellow River). In addition, the flower signs during the Great Cold are "the first sign is Daphne odora, the second sign is orchid, and the third sign is Alum (grown in the south of the Yangtze River)". It can also be used as an important indicator to judge the Great Cold. |
