Major Cold: Final chapter
As the year draws to an end, we bid farewell to winter's embrace.
Major Cold, the last solar term, is nature's last pause in deep winter, and a quiet buildup for the coming spring. Tang Dynasty (618-907) poet Yuan Zhen captured this glimpse of warmth between the changing seasons in Ode to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms: Major Cold, Mid-Twelfth Lunar Month : "New cycles unfold when winter is gone; And plums and willows of spring will be reborn."
Major Cold has arrived, and spring is on its way. Let us welcome all new beginnings, and set forth on our next journey.

I watched it. Very nice. If everyone would reflect on nature the way this video does the world would be a better place.
It is so much more pleasant, and personally rewarding, to focus on the beauty of nature and the arts rather than politics these days, eh JR?
Well hopefully people can do both. I dont think there is a "rather than" available. Things are in turmoil right now in the US.
Yes, I do feel sorry these days for those Americans who had the common sense to NOT vote for Trump.
