“Osaka is at two or three nines, and the sky is cold and trembling.” At 17:14 on January 5, Beijing time ushered in the Osaka solar term. This is also the first solar term following the New Year, which indicates that the weather is getting colder and colder. . For Shiyan, following entering the small cold solar term, it was catching up with the process of rainy and snowy weather brought by moderately cold air. The temperature was significantly lower and the chill was pressing.
Climate characteristics: often the coldest time of the year
Every year on January 5 or 6 of the Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 285 degrees of yellow longitude, it is the beginning of the Xiaohan solar term. Xiaohan is the 23rd solar term in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar and the fifth solar term in winter.
Regarding the origin of the name of Xiaohan’s solar terms, the “Moon Order Seventy-two Hou Ji Jie” explained: “In December, the cold is small at the beginning of the month, so the clouds are big.” Literally, Xiaohan is cold. But it has not yet reached the extreme meaning. It is the same as the big cold, small heat, big heat and Chushu, which are all solar terms that indicate changes in temperature. However, the folk proverb says: “The cold at the beginning of the month is still small…the half of the month is too big”, that is, the “big cold” is colder than the “small cold”; if observed from meteorological records, the “small cold” is often the coldest time of the year.
In ancient China, “Xiaohan” was divided into three phenotypes: “Yanbei Township in the first dynasty, magpies in the second dynasty, and pheasants in the third phoenix.” So the geese began to migrate north; at this time, magpies might be seen everywhere in the north, and they felt the sun and began to build their nests; the “pheasant” in the “pheasant” means the call, and the pheasant will feel the growth of the sun when it approaches 49 And tweet.
Judging from the current weather, this year’s Xiaohan solar term is on the seventh day of the “Twenty Nineth” period. Entering the “March Nine” on January 8, and welcoming the “Laba” on January 10, both are in the Xiaohan solar term. As the saying goes, “Lachi Laba freezes the jackdaw; Labji Laba freezes the small fish.” At this time, strong cold air activities are frequent, the temperature drops significantly, the northern sky is freezing, dripping water becomes ice, and the south is frosty and snowy. It’s freezing cold.
Shiyan weather: Xiaohan is colder than Dahan
From the climatic point of view, the characteristics of the weather during the small cold period are: the sky is getting colder, and it is not yet cold. In the cold season, the direct sun is still in the southern hemisphere, and the heat in the northern half is still being lost. The heat absorbed during the day is still less than the heat released at night, so the temperature in the northern hemisphere continues to drop. However, due to the large differences in climate between the north and south of our country, according to our country’s long-term meteorological records, the small cold solar terms are colder than the large cold solar terms in the north; but for most parts of the south, the large cold solar terms are better than the small cold solar terms. Colder. According to the latest data released by China Weather Network, from the perspective of annual average temperature, most of the provincial capital cities in the country are colder in Xiaohan than in Dahan. Among the 36 cities included in the statistics, there are only 7 cities in Dahan that are colder than Xiaohan, and they are all southern coastal cities. Therefore, Xiaohan is even more known as the “Cold King.”
So, what is the situation for Shiyan? According to information from Shiyan, Xiaohan is colder than Dahan. Judging from the city’s perennial meteorological data, the coldest period of the year in our city occurs in the Osaka period in early January, because the cold air in the north is more active during the Osaka period and the temperature drop is more intense.
This year, the day before entering the Xiaohan solar term, our city started a process of rainy and snowy weather, and the temperature dropped significantly. Among them, on the 4th, there was snowfall in some high mountain areas of our city. According to the forecast, on the 5th, our city will be cloudy to cloudy with the highest temperature of 6-8℃ and the lowest temperature of 2-4℃. From the 6th to the 7th, the city was cloudy with sporadic light rain, the highest temperature was 6-8℃, and the lowest temperature was 2-4℃. From the point of view of temperature, following entering the Xiaohan solar term, the temperature has shown a clear trend of lowering, and the weather is indeed getting colder and colder.
Health skills: Xiaohan requires “winter storage”
Chinese medicine believes that cold is the dominant force in winter, and Xiaohan is the coldest season of the year. Cold is an evil of yin, which easily damages the yang of the human body, and the main body of cold attracts stagnation. Therefore, although Xiaohan’s health preservation includes a lot of content, the basic principle is still the motto in the “Huangdi Neijing”: “Spring and summer nourish Yang, autumn and winter nourish yin.” In winter, everything is collected and stored, and health preservation should conform to the trend of natural collection. Yin essence makes the essence cohesive to moisturize the five internal organs.
According to experts, in terms of diet, it is advisable to eat more warm food to resist the cold attack on the human body. This is what the folks often call “three nines tonic for one winter”, but you should pay attention to the target, and you must not blindly tonic. In the small cold season, it is also important to adhere to good living habits, such as “sleeping early and getting up late, waiting for the sun” to overcome the problem of staying up late in the idle; bathing in hot water before going to bed can not only keep warm from the cold, but also relieve fatigue , Promote sleep; foot massage following bathing can also promote blood circulation and metabolism. In addition, you should also keep in mind the old saying of “Winter training on March 9th”, don’t be afraid of severe cold, often go out for exercise, and do more exercises to stretch your limbs when the sun is full to enhance your ability to keep out the cold. In addition, we should calm down and worry less, keep our spirits open and optimistic, don’t worry regarding trivial things, don’t worry regarding gains and losses, and strive for fame and fortune; avoid long-term “overloading” to prevent overwork and illness.
