Solar term entity

Major Cold (大寒)

Major Cold (大寒) is the solar-term window from January 20, 2026 to February 4, 2026. Major Cold is the deep-winter solar-term window immediately before spring begins. The landscape may still be quiet, yet the calendar is already preparing for a turn, which makes this a useful time to finish rather than overfill winter commitments. A practical focus is conserving attention: keep the parts of your routine that help you feel settled and let unnecessary obligations wait. Regular sleep, ordinary meals, and simple indoor comforts can make a crowded season feel more manageable. The next term changes the seasonal direction quickly, so Major Cold rewards gentle closure over ambitious reinvention. Notice what you want to carry forward, then leave enough space for the first signs of spring to arrive naturally. TianJi derives the term date and the displayed Yunqi fields from @repo/yunqi-calc, not from generative text. The practical suggestions on this page are general lifestyle education, not diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for professional care.
