Great Cold is the last of the twenty-four solar terms, usually starting on January 20th or 21st of the Gregorian calendar each year when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 300°. It marks the end of winter and the imminent arrival of the next cycle of spring. During Great Cold, most parts of China experience the coldest period of the year, with "ice and snow" and "biting cold" being its typical climatic characteristics. At this time, northern regions are often bitterly cold, and southern regions are also cold and damp, making it a crucial time for keeping warm and preventing cold.
Although Great Cold is cold, it is also an important time to welcome the New Year and bid farewell to the old, with unique customs in various places. For example, in the Guangdong region, there is the custom of "Wei Ya Ji" (year-end worship); in some places, people eat glutinous rice and make rice balls to ward off the cold. In terms of health preservation, during the Great Cold season, one should focus on "hiding" and "tonifying," conforming to the natural world's tendency to store, paying attention to keeping warm and preventing cold, especially the head, neck, abdomen, and feet. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat more warm and nourishing foods, such as lamb, beef, red dates, longan, etc., to enhance the body's resistance. At the same time, it is also important to engage in appropriate indoor activities and maintain a pleasant mood to prepare for the arrival of spring.
