The Minor Cold falls between January 5 and 7. It marks the start of the coldest days of the year. According to meteorological data, the temperatures of the Minor Cold are usually lower than that of the Major Cold. There is a Chinese saying, "The coldest days are during the third nine-day period after the Winter Solstice." The arrival of the Minor Cold signifies the last month of the lunar calendar.
After a heavy fall of snow when everything is clad in white, children delight in snowfield games and inventing snow toys. For instance, a small sled can be improvised by attaching a rope to a wooden board that one can sit on while one pulls him in front, and one pushes him from the back. They can take turns to enjoy it.
