Great cold is the last of the 24 solar terms, and it is also a solar term with very cold weather. What are the traditional customs on this day? Let's introduce:
1. No fire
Open the windows today, stop making fire indoors, wear more clothes, and use your physical strength to resist the cold, so as to enhance your physique. It is said that this can also freeze the insects curled up in the house, and the room will be particularly clean next spring.
2. Feeding the sun
The sun is mild and lovely in winter, not violent in summer. It is very beneficial to often rest in the sun. People who can't make a fire often stay where there is sunlight, work or rest, commonly known as feeding the sun.
3. Pig oil residue
Rolling pig oil residue is a game for children to keep warm in winter. More than ten children were divided into two groups, sitting back to back and pushing hard Win by forcing the other party to retreat. This game is usually played on a bench or a large threshold. After children's play, they sweat without feeling cold.
4. Tail tooth sacrifice
When the tail teeth worship the land lord, the offering table will be set in front of the land lord's throne. An offering table will also be set at the door or back door to worship the foundation Lord. The sacrificial offerings include animal sacrifices (chicken, fish and pig), four fruits (four kinds of fruits, of which citrus and apple are necessary), and 'spring rolls', that is, moist cakes, which are rolled with bean sprouts, carrots, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded meat and coriander, wrapped with peanut powder, which tastes delicious. The tail teeth originated from the custom of worshipping the land to make 'teeth'.
