“MINOR COLD": Blue & White Handmade Braided Bracelet for Patience

Minor Cold (Xiaohan), the fourth of the five winter months in the Chinese lunisolar calendar, begins around January 5 and ends around January 20. During this period, the weather in East Asia typically reaches its coldest point, with frequent snowstorms and icy conditions shrouding the vast landscape.

One may find herself disappointed at the promise of the return of light and warmth from the Winter Solstice yet to be delivered, but it is exactly the extreme cold that is the perfect time to cultivate patience and inner strength. A strong belief in the future and oneself nurtured in the harshest conditions is powerful and long-lasting. Minor Snow serves as a reminder that endurance and perseverance are essential for overcoming life's challenges.

The intertwined blue and white cords in this "Minor Cold" Handmade Braided Bracelet represent the patience and fortitude fostered during this time. Blue represents tranquility, serenity, and the calm acceptance of life's ebbs and flows. White signifies purity, clarity, and the unwavering resolve to persevere through difficult times. It reminds us that even in the coldest and darkest moments, patience and perseverance will ultimately guide us through.
