Little Han
Xiaohan is the 23rd of the 24 solar terms,which begins when the sun reaches 285 degrees of ecliptic longitude."The Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order"said:"On the December Festival, the cold at the beginning of the month is still small, so the clouds. Half a month is a big deal. "The cold air accumulates for a long time and is cold,and Xiaohan means that the weather is cold but not yet to the extreme.There is a saying in the folk of our country that"the cold is in the 39th",and the midwinter"39"is basically in the small cold solar term,as the so-called"the cold is frozen in the north wind, and the small cold is in 239",so there is a saying that"the small cold is better than the big cold".
