What's the climate like in the slight cold season?

1, the slight cold weather is very cold, and the north and south regions span greatly, forming different production, farming and living customs. In agriculture, most areas in the north have no jobs, so they have to rest in winter. The main task is to make a good vegetable pit, keep the barn warm, make fertilizer and accumulate fertilizer at home. In the past, cattle, horses and other livestock were the main labor force of a family and needed special maintenance. The slight cold weather is the coldest, so we should pay more attention to the warmth of livestock. People often burn a fire in the cowshed to keep warm. Small livestock are more cautious in keeping out the cold-laying straw mats alone and hanging wind curtains. A literate family will give warm water to livestock to minimize their body consumption and prevent diseases, and add a little salt to the drinking water to supplement the loss of salt in cold weather and enhance their immunity. On weekdays, we see the phenomenon of livestock licking the wall roots and drinking dirty water, which is the performance of salt-deficient livestock licking the salt in the soil at the wall roots or sucking salt from dirty water. In the light cold season in the south, rape should do a good job of ridge cleaning and wheat should do a good job of topdressing. When encountering strong cold air, sprinkle plant ash, crop straw or cover manure in the field to help the crops survive the coldest season. According to many years' breeding experience, people often speculate on the climate change in the coming year according to the slight cold climate and make a good breeding plan as soon as possible. For example, there is a saying in Shandong that "there is no rain in a slight cold, and there is drought in a big summer" and "if it is cloudy, there will be a spring drought in the coming year".

In daily life, besides paying attention to daily warmth, people begin to write Spring Festival couplets, cut window grilles, go to the market to buy New Year pictures, colored lights, firecrackers, incense and so on, and prepare for the Spring Festival one by one. In terms of diet, mutton hot pot, sugar-fried chestnuts and baked sweet potatoes have become the fashion of Xiaohan. As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no disease in the coming year", which is the practice of eating mutton to regulate the body in winter. According to "Miscellanies of Jinmen", there was a custom of eating soybean sprouts in Tianjin in the old days. Soybean sprouts are a specialty of Tianjin, made of Chinese cabbage buds. In winter to the future, cut off the stems and leaves of cabbage, leaving only the heart of cabbage, about two inches from the ground, covered with manure, airtight. After half a month, it is crisp and tender, which makes up for the shortage of vegetables in winter. The living standard of modern people has improved, and all kinds of vegetables and meat are available all year round. There is no need to worry about the scarcity of vegetables in winter as in the past.
