寒气之逆极,故谓大寒
大寒是我国二十四节气最后一个节气,
过了大寒,
又迎来新一年的节气轮回。
此时天气虽然寒冷,
但因为已近春天,
所以不会像大雪到冬至期间那样酷寒。
The “Greater Cold” is the last solar term of the twenty-four solar terms in our country. After the “Greater Cold’, the new year’s solar cycle comes to an end. Although the weather still is cold at this time, it will not be as cold as the winter solstice because it is almost spring.
这时节,人们开始忙着除旧饰新,腌制年肴,准备年货,有很多重要民俗和节庆。如尾牙祭、祭灶和除夕等,有时甚至连我国最大的节庆春节也处于这一节气中。
At this time, people are busy changing the old things with new ones. Preparing new year dishes and getting ready for the new year with different kind of goods.
There are many important folk customs and festivals. Such as the end of the festival with a sumptuous dinner. The New Year’s Eve and the largest festival in China, the Spring Festival, is also in this solar term.
大寒节气中充满了喜悦与欢乐的气氛,是一个欢快轻松的节气,因为中国人最重要的节日——春节就要到了。其间还有一个对于北方人非常重要的日子——腊八,即阴历十二月初八。在这一天,人们用五谷杂粮加上花生、栗子、红枣、莲子等熬成一锅香甜美味的腊八粥,是人们过年中不可或缺的一道主食。
The “Greater Cold” solar term is full of joy and happiness. It is cheerful and relaxed, because it is the most important festival for Chinese people: the Spring Festival is approaching. There is also a very important day for the northern part of China – The Laba Festival, which is the eighth day of twelfth lunar month. This day, people use whole grains, peanuts, chestnuts, red dates, lotus seeds, etc. to make a pot of sweet and delicious Laba porridge, which is an indispensable food for people during the New Year.
因为大寒与立春相交接,饮食上也顺应季节变化。大寒进补的食物量逐渐减少,多添加些具有升散性质的食物,比如生姜、洋葱、芥菜、白萝卜、辣椒、大蒜等,以适应春天万物的升发。在我国南方广大地区,有大寒吃糯米饭的习俗,糯米味甘、性温,食之具有御寒滋补功效。
Because the “Greater Cold” meets “Lichun”, the food also adapts to the season change. The amount of food for the cold is gradually reduced, and more food with uplifting properties, such as ginger, onions, mustard greens, white radishes, peppers, garlic, etc., are added to adapt to the spring. In the South of China, there is a custom of eating glutinous rice. The glutinous rice is sweet and warm by nature. These food has the effect of keeping the cold away.
而在北京,吃“消寒糕”的习俗由来已久。“消寒糕”是年糕的一种,食用后全身感觉暖和,有温散风塞、润肺健脾胃的功效,而且老百姓选在“大寒”这天吃年糕,还有“年高”之意,带着吉祥如意、年年平安、步步高升的好彩头。所以,老北京的习俗中,大寒这天家人分吃年糕,既带着吉祥味,也能驱散身上寒意,所以称为“消寒糕”
In Beijing, the custom of eating “Xiao Han Gao” has a long history. ” Xiao Han Gao ” is a kind of rice cake. After eating it, the whole body feels warm. It has the effects of warming up the wind, nourishing the lungs and strengthening the spleen and stomach. Moreover, people choose to eat rice cakes on the day of “big cold”, which also means “young old”. Therefore, as an old Beijing tradition, families eat rice cakes, which not only has auspicious flavor, but also can expels the cold from the body, so it is called ” Xiao Han Gao “
大寒小寒,滴水成冰,进入一年中最冷的三九天。除了要多穿衣保暖外,在条件允许的情况下大家也可以开展滑冰运动啦,小朋友们也可以和家人一起去感受一下滑冰的乐趣哦!
Greater Cold and Lesser Cold are the coldest days of the year. Wear more clothes to keep you body warm. If the weather is good also try skating. Children will also experience the fun of skating with their families!
