Xiaohan is the fifth solar term of winter.

As the saying goes, “The coldest days are in the ‘Sanjiu’ period, and the hottest are in the ‘Sanfu’ period.”

Xiaohan coincides with the “Shujiu” period of winter.

Therefore, the arrival of Xiaohan also marks the onset of the coldest period of the year.

The Three Hou of Minor Cold

The magpie begins to build its nest.

Pheasant To begin to call out.

In ancient China, “Xiaohan” was divided into three hou.

First, the wild geese fly north; the geese begin their northward migration.

The second hou is the magpie beginning to build its nest; at this time, magpies can be seen everywhere in the north.

And, sensing the yang energy, it begins to build its nest.

The third hou is when the pheasants begin to call; “gou” means to cry or call.

When the days are nearing the 49th, the pheasant senses the gradual rise of yang energy and begins to call.

Dietary habits during the "Xiaohan" solar term also vary from region to region.

In Guangzhou, on the morning of Xiaohan, people eat glutinous rice.

Meanwhile, the northern regions have a cold climate.

In winter, people often rely on food to keep warm.

Therefore, they will consume more foods with strong warming and tonifying properties.

Such as lamb and beef, to increase the body’s heat and energy.
