Are you tired of forgetting the exact date of Minor Cold (Xiaohan) and missing out on solar term preparations? This tool uses solar longitude astronomical algorithms to automatically calculate the exact time remaining until the next Minor Cold. Minor Cold is one of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms, defined as the moment the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 285°, typically occurring on January 5th or 6th of the Gregorian calendar. The tool outputs a live, dynamic countdown in days, hours, minutes, and seconds, helping you accurately track this solar term.
Q: What day is the Minor Cold solar term each year?
Minor Cold usually falls on January 5th or 6th of the Gregorian calendar. The exact date is determined by the astronomical moment the sun reaches a celestial longitude of 285°. This tool automatically calculates the exact date for each year.
Q: Does the countdown rely on the internet or geolocation?
It does not rely on the internet or your geographical location, but your device's system time must be accurate. The calculation is based entirely on local time and built-in astronomical algorithms. Once loaded, it can even run offline.
Please ensure your device's system time is set accurately to Beijing Time; otherwise, the countdown may be inaccurate. The results only display the countdown based on the Gregorian calendar and do not provide the corresponding lunar calendar date. This tool does not support batch queries or countdowns for other solar terms.
The Minor Cold countdown uses the internationally recognized solar longitude algorithm (when the apparent solar longitude reaches 285°) and is independent of lunar dates. Example: Minor Cold in 2025 is at 15:49 on January 5th. If the current time is 12:00 on January 1st, the tool will display "4 days, 3 hours, and 49 minutes remaining". We recommend using this tool for solar term reminders, cultural event planning, or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) health references, but it should not be used for high-precision astronomical research.
