Xiaohan is the twenty-third solar term, and between January 5 and 7, the sun is at 285° of ecliptic longitude. For China, Xiaohan marks the beginning of the coldest days of the year. According to China's meteorological data, Xiaohan is the solar term with the lowest temperature, and only a few years when the temperature of the big cold is lower than that of Xiaohan. "Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order" says: "December Festival, the cold at the beginning of the month is still small, so the clouds, and the half of the month is big." That is to say, in the Yellow River Valley, the big cold was colder than the small cold at that time.

"During this coldest time of the year, there are many related solar terms folk customs throughout China, such as "Drawing Picture Number Nine", "Tonifying Formula" and "Eating Vegetable Rice".

Ninety-nine cold picture is a double hook depiction of red calligraphy "weeping willow in front of the pavilion cherishes the spring phoenix", are traditional Chinese characters, nine characters per word nine strokes a total of nine hundred and eighty-one strokes, from the winter solstice every day in accordance with the order of strokes to fill a stroke, every nine fill a word, until the spring after ninety-nine back to the earth, a ninety-nine cold picture is considered to be a great success. The Xiaohan solar term coincides with the severe cold of Sanjiu, so the folk custom of "drawing the number nine" is closely related to the Xiaohan solar term.

What are the precautions for Xiaohan health preservation.
1. When dealing with the cold, the first thing people think of is to add clothes, but they often wear very thick clothes and ignore the cold protection of the head, and even regard the hat as an insignificant thing. In fact, there is a close relationship between the heat balance of the human head and the whole body. There is a folk saying that "wearing a cotton hat in winter is like wearing a cotton jacket". In cold conditions, if you just dress warmly and don't wear a hat, the body heat will quickly dissipate from your head. The proportion of this heat loss is considerable. Wearing a hat outdoors in winter, even if it is a thin hat, has a very obvious effect on the cold.
2. In the cold winter, many people like to wear masks when they go out. Wearing a mask can really protect against respiratory illnesses and also protect against the cold. However, when wearing a mask, you must cover your mouth and nose, and at the same time, you must pay attention to cleaning the mask. Teenagers and adults are not encouraged to wear more masks, and they should be tested by the cold often to increase their ability to resist diseases, which is good for health.
