Minor Cold, or Xiaohan, is the 23rd solar term of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms, which falls on Jan. 5 this year.

For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year. After the Minor Cold, Chinese people begin to prepare for the coming Spring Festival. When Minor Cold comes, don't forget to keep warm and stay healthy!
