Sunday marks the beginning of Xiaohan, or Minor Cold. It is the 23rd of China's 24 solar terms and signals the arrival of the coldest period of the year. Despite the chill, this time also heralds the transition from winter to spring, with the first hints of spring gradually emerging and the promise of warmer days ahead. This year, Minor Cold runs from January 5 to January 19. As Chinese New Year, which falls on January 29 this year, approaches, preparations for China's biggest festival kick into high gear. Families start bustling about, buying Spring Festival couplets, paper cuttings, New Year paintings, lanterns, and firecrackers. Local folk performances and temple fairs add to the festive atmosphere. #SpringFestival2025
