Tuanzi is a traditional snack in the south of China, especially in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people often make dumplings to celebrate their ancestors and the arrival of spring. Green glutinous rice dumplings are made from glutinous rice flour as the main raw material, and wormwood or grass juice is added. The stuffing is usually bean paste or meat stuffing, which tastes soft and sweet and has a unique flavor.

The traditional food in the slight cold season is usually Laba porridge, which is made of rice, red beans, peanuts, chestnuts, lotus seeds and other ingredients. The making process of Laba porridge is relatively simple. By adding ingredients into the cooking pot, adding appropriate amount of water, and slowly cooking with slow fire, after cooking for a period of time, the fragrance of the ingredients will be gradually released, and the taste of porridge will become stronger. Therefore, although dumplings are a kind of food, they are not the traditional food in the slight cold season, but the traditional snacks eaten by Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Climate change in slight cold season

The weather characteristics of slight cold are: it gets cold, but it is not cold yet. In the slight cold season, the direct point of the sun is still in the southern hemisphere, and the heat in the northern hemisphere is still in a state of loss. The heat absorbed during the day is still less than the heat released at night, so the temperature in the northern hemisphere continues to decrease. According to China's long-term meteorological records, the slight cold solar terms in the northern region are colder than the severe cold solar terms; But for most parts of the south, the big cold solar terms are colder than the small ones.

During the slight cold solar term, the East Asian trough developed the strongest and most stable, the Mongolian cold high and Aleutian low also reached the strongest and most stable, and the ridge scale of the westerly trough reached the maximum, which matched the strongest westerly intensity. The cooling process of cold air is frequent in the slight cold season, but few of them reach the cold wave standard.
