严寒虽至，春意也在萌生，天地万物在默默为春天的来临做准备。寒风中，节日的气息悄然弥漫。
人们忙着置办年货，写春联、挂窗花、张贴年画、买鞭炮等，迎接即将到来的春节，满怀对新的一年的憧憬和家人团聚的期盼。
Minor Cold, the twenty-third of the 24 solar terms, marks the approach of the coldest period of the year. The cold wind chills to the bone. Plum blossoms quietly bud and bloom, standing proudly amid the snow and ice.
In the cold wind, the festive atmosphere quietly spreads. People are busy preparing for the Chinese New Year, writing Spring Festival couplets, decorating windows with paper-cuts, putting up New Year pictures and buying fireworks.
They're eagerly awaiting the upcoming festival, filled with anticipation for the new year and a longing for family reunions.
小寒已至，年关将近。热腾腾的美食，红火火的装饰，承载着家的温暖。
江苏各地的年味儿愈发浓郁。
