This year's Minor Cold falls on January 5. Temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere continue to drop sharply, with frequent cold waves bringing significant cooling. Folk customs for this term include admiring snow and viewing plum blossoms, as well as drawing the Nine Cold Periods chart to count down the coldest days of winter. People eat mutton soup to ward off the cold, and to prepare for the upcoming Laba Festival on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month every year, they also enjoy eight-treasure rice porridge steamed with ingredients like lotus seeds, red dates, coix seeds, candied fruits and Osmanthus to pray for favorable weather and family reunion in the new year.
