Minor Cold

小寒

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Minor Cold (Chinese: 小寒xiǎo hán), the 23rd solar term, begins this year on Jan 6 and ends on Jan 19. During Minor Cold, most areas in China have entered the bitter cold stage of winter. 

中国传统的农历将一年分为24个节气。小寒是第23个节气，从今年的1月6日开始，到1月19日结束。在小寒期间，中国大部分地区都已进入寒冬时节。

Although "Minor Cold" means less cold than the following solar term, "Major Cold", there is an old saying in China that goes, "The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days." "Sanjiu period" refers to the third nine-day period (the 19th-27th days) after the day of the Winter Solstice, which is in Minor Cold. Actually Minor Cold is normally the coldest period of winter. It is important to keep warm during this period. 

尽管“小寒”是意思是和下个节气“大寒”相比不那么冷，但是中国有一句老话说“数九寒天，冷在三九”。“三九时节”指的是冬至过后第三个九天（第19到27天），而“三九”就在小寒内。事实上小寒通常是冬天最冷的时候。在这期间保暖很重要。

Stocking up for New Year

During Minor Cold, people always start stocking New Year goods, which include Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, paper-cuts for window decoration, fire crackers, incense and lanterns.

小寒期间，人们会开始采购年货，包括春联、年画、窗花、鞭炮、香火和灯笼等。

Cuisines fit for Minor Cold

Mutton hot pot, chestnuts and baked sweet potato are three recommended foods for Minor Cold. According to traditional Chinese medicine theories, people need to eat food that contains more yang energy to prevent cold from harming their organs. The yang energy in the three types of food is strengthened through their method of cooking: boiling, stir frying and baking. Beef, sesame, walnuts, almonds and raisins are also good choices for Minor Cold.

小寒期间推荐吃三种食物：羊肉火锅、栗子和烤红薯。根据中医理论，人们需要吃含有更多阳气的食物来防止寒冷伤害人们的器官。这三种食物通过煮、炒、烤的烹饪方法来增强阳气。牛肉、芝麻、核桃、杏仁和葡萄干也是小寒期间的好选择。

Winter exercise

Generally, Minor Cold is the coldest period in China, which is the best time for exercising and improving one’s physique. To keep warm, the children of China have special games to play, such as hoop rolling and the cockfighting game.

一般来说，小寒是中国最冷的时期，也是锻炼和增强体质的最佳时间。为了保暖，中国的孩子们会玩一些特殊的游戏，比如滚铁圈和斗鸡。
