Meteorological change
Folk proverb: The slight cold is on February 39, and it is freezing and shivering, which shows the cold degree of the slight cold solar terms. During the slight cold season, most parts of our country entered the severe cold period, with frozen soil and rivers. In addition, the cold air in the north keeps going south and the weather is cold. People call it nine cold days. Although it is not as cold in the south as in the north, the temperature has dropped obviously. In the south, the coldest time is slight cold, heavy cold, rain and fright.
In ancient China, slight cold was divided into three stages: one was waiting for Yanbei Township, the other was waiting for magpies to start nesting, and the third was waiting for pheasants to start digging. The ancients believed that the geese among migratory birds migrated along the yin and yang. At this time, the yang moved, and the geese began to migrate north. At this time, magpies can be seen everywhere in the north, and they begin to build nests. The thrusting of pheasants means singing.
