Winter’s grand finale is here! 🌬️ Major Cold (Dà Hán), the last of 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar, chills East Asia from January 20 to February 3 this year. Think of it like nature’s ‘season finale’ before spring’s premiere. ❄️➡️🌸
This solar term isn’t just about frosty mornings—it’s a cultural time capsule. Families often gather for steaming hot pot 🍲, while Lunar New Year preps kick into high gear. 🧧 (Fun fact: This year’s Start of Spring begins February 4—right after Major Cold wraps!)
Farmers historically used solar terms like #DàHán to track crops, but today’s urban youth embrace it as a wellness checkpoint. 🧣 Think immunity-boosting soups, cozy traditions, and that universal craving for Netflix + blankets. Who says ancient wisdom can’t be trendy?
