Major Cold marks the coldest period of the year, with the ground blanketed by pristine white snow. Yet, the solar term signifies both the end of winter and the imminent arrival of spring. The period also overlaps with Spring Festival, when people across the country journey back home for family reunion meals on Chinese New Year's Eve.
