Minor Cold, the traditional 23rd solar term in China, falls on January 5，2025.
Minor cold is much colder than major cold, a winter wind blowing, the cold at this time, I think it is the ultimate.In such a season, it is best for heating around the stove.
The dry wood that had been exposed in the summer is hollowed and burned, the red fire is whirring, the bright sparks sputtering, and the whole house is soon warm.
There is nothing going on in the field, and the farm is resting; Family sitting around, light amiable.
With a pond of exuberant and cheerful heat, the whole body is warm, chatting and noisy, and you can simmer sweet potatoes, roast glutinous rice cakes, stew cured meat, warm rice wine, boil hot water, bubble fragrant tea…
Outside at the moment, it is freezing, and the snow is falling fast.
As for the people in the house, there are walls to shelter the wind, a fire to warm body, plenty of food and clothing, no worries or annoyances, this is the best time of life.
Minor cold, may your beloved accompany you.
The colder the day, the more lonely we feel, the more we need company.
A warm hand, a tight hug, a gentle greeting, a cup of warm milk tea, are the best way to resist the cold in the winter.
Minor cold,may you have fire in your heart and light in your eyes.
Perhaps, most of the time in winter, is bleak and dull, the whole earth is pale and weak.
However, when the snow is falling, the philosophy of extreme things will always give you unexpected surprises.
Cold to the extreme, is the day will warm; If winter is deep, can spring be far ?
In such a season, there is no need to be afraid or disappointed.
Only after enduring the extreme test of frost and cold and experiencing the hibernation of winter, the earth will break the thick ice at a certain moment and flowers will bloom.
Minor cold, I hope you have a shore.
Snow covered mountains, ice jam rivers, it seems that there is no way out.
However, in my hometown, there are many sayings like “Minor cold, Major Cold, killing pigs for the New Year” and “Minor cold with the wind, the flavor of the New Year has emerged”. When Minor cold is coming , the year is near.
Bacon, sausage, glutinous rice cake, oil tofu, as well as elderly parents, are looking forward to welcoming your return.
Every mountain and river, a brick and a tile, are so familiar, back to hometown, is back to your anchor this shore, back to the harbor of rest.
One step forward is a dream, one step back is hometown.
May your hometown and distance,this moment and future, all be warm.
