The big cold solar term often coincides with the end of the year, so in such a big cold solar term, in addition to doing farm work to conform to the solar terms, it is also necessary to rush around for the New Year, buy New Year's goods, write Spring Festival couplets, prepare various sacrificial offerings, sweep dust and clean things, remove the old cloth and new cloth, prepare New Year's goods, marinate all kinds of sausages, bacon, or fry and cook chicken, duck and fish and other New Year's dishes.

In addition, in the old days, there were often people vying to buy sesame straw on the streets during the cold season. Because of the "sesame blossoming festival", on Chinese New Year's Eve, people sprinkle sesame straw on the road outside the walk for children to crush, the homonym auspicious meaning "stepping on the year", and at the same time, the homonym of "broken" and "year" means "the year is safe", seeking a good New Year's Day.

Xiaohan and the winter solstice are two different solar terms, and they differ in terms of climate and customs. Xiaohan is the fifth solar term of winter, marking China's official entry into the coldest period of the year;The winter solstice, on the other hand, is the first solar term of winter and usually marks the beginning of winter. In terms of climate, the temperature of the Xiaohan solar term plummets, and it is cold and dry;The winter solstice solar terms are relatively low, but usually not too cold. In terms of customs, there are customs such as eating glutinous rice and boiling laba porridge during the Xiaohan solar termThe winter solstice solar term has the custom of eating traditional foods such as dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
Both the small and large cold are winter solar terms and are generally considered to be the period of the lowest temperature, but in fact whether it is the coldest depends on the climate conditions of different regions.
In most parts of China, the Xiaohan and Dahan periods are the coldest periods of the year. This is because the Xiaohan and Dahan solar terms are at the lowest period of solar radiation, and the solar altitude angle in the Northern Hemisphere is the smallest, the sunshine time is the shortest, and the ground absorbs the most solar radiation, so the temperature is also the lowest. In addition, the period of light and cold is often accompanied by cold waves, strong winds, rain and snow and other bad weather, and these weather factors will also exacerbate the decrease in temperature.
However, in some regions, other solar terms such as frost fall, winter solstice, etc., can also be the coldest periods. In addition, climate change can also have an impact on temperatures, such as warm or cold winter phenomena. Therefore, to accurately determine which solar term is the coldest, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the local climate conditions and historical temperature records.
In general, Xiaohan and Dahan are among the coldest periods in most parts of China, but whether they are the coldest depends on the local climate. During the winter months, it is important to maintain proper warmth and a healthy lifestyle to cope with the effects of cold weather on the human body.
According to meteorological observations, in most parts of China, the small and large cold are the coldest periods of the year. This is because the temperature usually drops to the lowest point of the year during the Xiaohan and Dahan solar terms. However, in some areas, due to factors such as climate and topography, the coldest period may be before the small cold or after the big cold.
According to meteorological observations, in most parts of China, the Xiaohan and Dahan solar terms are the coldest periods of the year, and the temperature is not much different. However, which is colder may vary from region to region and year to year. In some regions, the Great Cold Solar Term may be colder than the Lesser Cold Solar Term;In other areas, the Xiaohan solar term may be colder. In addition, changes in temperature may also be affected by other factors such as climate change, topography, etc. Therefore, it is not possible to simply answer the question of which is colder, the small cold solar term or the big cold solar term.
