环球微头条丨大寒｜23.5°N上的二十四节气_综合

大寒是二十四节气中的最后一个节气，于每年公历1月20—21日交节。《授时通考•天时》引《三礼义宗》中记载：“寒气之逆极，故谓大寒。”此时寒潮南下频繁，是一年中最寒冷的时节。

Major Cold, the 24th solar term, is the last solar term on the lunar calendar, starting from January 20th to 21st of the Gregorian calendar each year. As a quote from a Chinese classic goes, extreme coldness is called Major Cold. During the Major Cold period, cold air currents move southward, and the weather becomes bitterly cold, the coldest throughout the year.

大寒一过，冬去春来，新的一年又开始了。

Yet, the end of Major Cold marks the beginning of a new year.

今年（壬寅年）的大寒是大年二十九，除夕的前一天，年味已浓，家家户户都开始贴“挥春”。

This year, Major Cold will start on January 20th, New Year"s Eve. Spring Festival is just around the corner, and everyone starts to paste Fai Chun.

“挥春”是广府地区 “春联”的说法，贴“挥春”是中华民族春节的传统习俗。“挥”与“辉”同音，寓意着来年的好运。在这个新旧相交的时间节点，人们于象征喜庆的红纸上泼墨挥毫，写下新年的祝福与愿望，包含对新一年的期待和对未来的乐观。

Fai Chun, the Cantonese name of Spring Festival couplets, is what people traditionally place on the main gate of their homes during this festival. Fai sounds the same as "辉" in Chinese, which literally means light and thus embodies a wish for good luck next year. At the point when the new year is coming, Chinese people write down their wishes on auspicious red paper in anticipation of a better new year.
