The 24 Solar Terms·Minor Cold | Cold weather accompanied by wind and snow, warm sunlight witnesses the lengthening of the daytime.
1 气候
北京时间1月6日4点49分将迎来小寒节气。冬至之后，冷空气频繁南下，冷气积久而寒，温度在一年的小寒、大寒之际降到最低谷。从民谚“小寒时处二三九，天寒地冻冷到抖”“小寒冷冻冻，寒到提火笼”“小寒小寒，无风也寒”，可知这“小寒”节气是硬冻出来的。
古人将小寒分为三候：“初候雁北乡；二候鹊始巢；三候雉始雊。”这三候完美印证了“禽鸟得气之先”的说法，时令流转中细微的变化，被天地之间游走的禽鸟敏锐感知着。小寒时节，阳气已动，大雁开始向北迁移；喜鹊体察到阳气，开始为来年修筑巢穴；雉鸟也感知阳气萌动，开始雌雄合鸣。
Weather
At 4:49 Beijing time on January 6th comes the Minor Cold in the 24 solar terms.After the Winter Solstice, cold air frequently moves south. With the accumulation of the cold air, the temperature decreases accordingly. During the Minor Cold and the Major Cold, the temperature drops to its lowest point. The folk sayings “The Minor Cold which comes between the second and third Jiu makes you shiver” “Frozen Minor Cold, so cold that you need to carry a stove” “Minor Cold is frigid, even if there is no wind” showcase that coldness is the keynote of the Minor Cold.
The ancients divided the Minor Cold into three periods: First, wild geese begin to fly back to the north. Second, magpies nest. And third, pheasants start calling. The three periods perfectly confirm the saying “Birds feel the Qi first”. The subtle changes in seasonal circulation are keenly perceived by birds wandering between the sky and the earth. During the Minor Cold, Yang begins to rise. Wild geese start to migrate north following the Yang. Magpies which feel the Yang begin to build nests. And pheasants，male and female, begin to sing with the rising Yang.
2 农事
“小寒寒，六畜安。”对农人来说，小寒时节的主要任务是做好菜窖、畜舍保暖、造肥积肥等工作。同时要防止积雪、冻雨压断竹林和果木，冬季多大雾、大风天，海上或江湖捕鱼、养殖作业需特别注意安全。“小寒天气热，大寒冷莫说”“小寒不寒，清明泥潭”“小寒大寒寒得透，来年春天天暖和”“小寒暖，立春雪”“小寒寒，惊蛰暖”“小寒无雨，小暑必旱”……有经验的农人还以小寒的气候，来预测未来天气。
Farming
“If the temperature during the Minor Cold is low, the domestic animals will be all thriving.” For farmers, the main task during the Minor Cold is to keep vegetable cellars and barns warm, and produce and accumulate fertilizers. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent snow and freezing rain from crushing bamboos and fruit trees. In winter, the weather is always foggy and windy. So special attention should be paid to safety in fishing and aquaculture operations at sea or in rivers and lakes. “If the Minor Cold is warm, it will be particularly cold during the Major Cold” “Not being cold during the Minor Cold means frequent rain during the Pure Brightness” “Frozen weather during the Minor Cold and the Major Cold portends a warm spring in the following year” “Warm in the Minor Cold, snowy in the Beginning of Spring” “If the Minor Cold is frigid, the Awakening of Insects will be warm” “The Minor Cold without precipitation forebodes the drought during the Minor Heat”......Experienced farmers also predict future weather based on the weather during the Minor Cold.
