La Sacrifice(La Ji)

Minor Cold is a solar term in the last month of the lunar year. La Sacrifice, a traditional Chinese custom, is a sacrifice held at the end of last month (La Month) in Chinese lunar calendar, when the old and new years meet. Holding the La Sacrifice has three meanings. First, it expresses the reverence and memorial to their ancestors so as not to forget their origins. Secondly, it worships hundreds of gods to thank them for their contribution to agriculture throughout the year. Thirdly, it is a time for people to rest and have fun after working hard all year round.

Not only do winter sports bring people a lot of fun, but they also keep people fit and healthy.
