34. The year-end tail-gathering is a custom in some southern regions, which takes place around the time of the Great Cold. The tail-gathering originates from the custom of worshiping the Land God for the "Yá" (tooth). The land bears all things, nourishes all things, grows five grains to nourish the people, which is the reason why people cherish and worship the land. According to folk customs, every time it is the season for sowing or harvesting, people must set up a community to worship and pray to or repay the Land God. The so-called "the second day of the second lunar month" (in ancient times, the fifth Gǔwù day after the Beginning of Spring) is the first tooth, and afterwards, "Yá" is done on the first and sixteenth day of each month. By the end of the year, December 16th is exactly the tail-gathering. "Doing the Yá" is also known as "doing the Yá sacrifice," which originally was a ritual of worshiping the Land God, and the common term for a sumptuous meal is "dǎ Yázhì," which comes from this. There is a custom among the people for the whole family to gather and "eat the tail-gathering" together. The modern corporate "year-end party" is a legacy of the tail-gathering. Each year's tail-gathering is very lively and is a favorite festival activity among people.

43. After the Great Cold, it's the New Year. The Great Cold is the last of the 24 solar terms. In recent years, this period has been filled with joy and festive atmosphere, making it a cheerful and relaxed solar term. During this period, people start busy with removing the old and decorating the new, pickling preserved meats for the New Year's feast, and preparing for the New Year's supplies because the most important festival for the Chinese, the Spring Festival, is approaching. As the last solar term of the year, though it's a time of agricultural inactivity, every household is busy—the busy of celebrating the New Year, which is the custom of "Welcoming the New Year during the Great Cold." From the Great Cold to the Chinese New Year, there will be a series of activities, summarized at least into ten customs, including: "Eating glutinous rice," "Overindulging in drinks," "Dental care," "Sweeping the dust," "Papering the windows," "Preserved meats," "Hastening marriage," "Visiting markets," "Bathing," and "Pasting red paper." Therefore, after the Great Cold, the New Year's atmosphere becomes increasingly strong.
