Tuesday marks the arrival of Major Cold, the last of the 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar. Known as Dahan in Chinese, it occurs as winter reaches its peak and icy winds sweep across the land. With the year drawing to a close, anticipation for the Spring Festival grows stronger. Families busily clean their homes, cure preserved meats, and shop for New Year supplies, preparing to welcome the season of renewal and reunion. During this period, traditional Chinese medicine places emphasis on warming the body through diet. Hearty and nourishing ingredients such as lamb, chestnuts, ginger, and cinnamon bark are recommended.
