When is the slight cold in 2023? How many minutes and seconds?
The "three stages" phenomenon of slight cold is caused by climate change, and the behavior of animals changes accordingly. In ancient China, slight cold was divided into three stages: "The first stage is to wait for Yanbei Township, the second stage is to wait for magpies to nest, and the third stage is to wait for pheasants to swim". The ancients believed that the geese among migratory birds migrated along the yin and yang, and at this time, the yang had moved, so the geese began to move northward; At this time, magpies can be seen everywhere in the north, feeling the yang and starting to build nests; The third time, the word "pheasant" means singing. When the pheasant approaches April 9, it will feel the growth of Yang and sing. This is the ancient explanation of slight cold phenology.
The weather characteristics of slight cold In most cases, slight cold is the coldest time of the year. The weather characteristics of slight cold are: it gets cold, but it is not cold yet. In the slight cold season, the direct point of the sun is still in the southern hemisphere, and the heat in the northern hemisphere is still in a state of loss. The heat absorbed during the day is still less than the heat released at night, so the temperature in the northern hemisphere continues to decrease. The climate in south and north of China is quite different. According to China's long-term meteorological records, the slight cold solar terms in the northern region are colder than the severe cold solar terms; But for most parts of the south, the big cold solar terms are colder than the small ones. The specific weather will also be affected by local conditions.
What are the customs of the slight cold solar terms? 1. Draw a picture and count to nine.
Twenty-four solar terms and slight cold solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin. It is said that in the early years, every farmer in the Yellow River valley used the "Nine-Nine Cold Map" to keep out the cold and keep fit. The relief picture of 99 cold shows the double hook red calligraphy "weeping willows and cherishing spring phoenix in front of the pavilion", all of which are traditional Chinese characters with nine strokes * * * 998 1 stroke per word. From the solstice of winter, fill in a stroke order every day, and fill in a word every September, until the spring returns to the earth after September, a relief map of the cold land in September is completed. The slight cold solar term coincides with the cold of March 9, so the folk custom of "Painting Nine" is closely related to the slight cold solar term. Count to nine, calligraphy is red, which can not only dispel the cold, but also be a good way to keep in good health in winter.
Step 2 eat glutinous rice
Guangdong folk proverb "slight cold and severe cold are cold without wind", and it is a traditional custom to eat glutinous rice in the morning for slight cold and severe cold. According to the folk tradition, the sugar content of glutinous rice is higher than that of rice, and it feels warm after eating, which is conducive to driving out the cold. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that glutinous rice has the effect of tonifying middle energizer and benefiting qi, and it is most suitable to eat glutinous rice in cold season.
Step 3 eat laba porridge
Laba Festival is generally between slight cold and severe cold, so there is an important folk custom to eat "Laba porridge". Laba porridge is made from a variety of ingredients, most of which have the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, expelling cold and strengthening the body, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Laba porridge is also drunk on Laba Festival shortly after slight cold. In cold winter, drinking a bowl of steaming Laba porridge can not only satisfy the appetite, but also drive away the chill, which is a very happy thing.
