大寒
Major Cold
大寒是二十四节气的最后一个节气。人们会在此时除尘迎新，寓意扫去晦气，迎接崭新生活；腌制腊味，储存美味食物。还会阖家团聚喝腊八粥，祈求来年平安顺遂、五谷丰登，在寒冷时节传递温暖与对美好生活的向往。
Major Cold is the last solar term in the 24 - solar - term system. At this time, people usually do spring cleaning to welcome the new, which means sweeping away bad luck and embracing a brand - new life. They also pickle cured meats to store delicious food. Families get together to drink Laba porridge, praying for peace, smoothness and a bumper grain harvest in the coming year. It conveys warmth and yearning for a better life in the cold season.
