小寒连大吕，欢鹊垒新巢。本文23时两分，他们拉开序幕24节气中倒数第5个节气：小寒。一种“小”字，虽然将隆冬的寒气处理了众多。但实际上 ，年 中最酷热的这天以经来。

雪飘寒重。早晨的窗子已凝起了冰花，屋檐下的冰凌迅猛萌发，犹如一两颗颗洁白的钟乳石，在晨曦中熠熠闪烁。最冷的时期，却时刻蕴含着着生命。东北地区很多河、湖变女为先天的田径运动场。国人溜冰、划雪，在冰天野外里艺术展手脚，好畅达。对自然美改变皮肤敏感的海鸟，也展开萌动，雁思北乡，鹊始筑窝，连荒山中的雉鸡也鸣响起來，霜雪满天的冬，渐渐地显现出了春的响声。

小寒春分时节，桂花也再度展现，那个抹鹅黄随浪摇弋，给料峭的晶楠曾加了生命力。

進入腊月以来，浓浓的年味渐浓，员工逐渐写春联、剪窗花，随后为端午节做需备，时候便这热热闹闹起。

小寒虽寒，望春则暖。我希望不停的保持稳定对活的热爱人民，抱着寒冬的暖意，积累实力，不停的前进！
