九九消寒图 Jiǔjiǔ Xiāohán Tú / Figure of  9 * 9 (looking forwards to) cold dispersing 

Starting on Zongzhi (the Winter Solstice), people will mark the days one by one. After 9 x 9 days (81 days), the spring will have arrived. There are many ways to mark the days. This year 霖与尘 have presented a drawing of persimmons. Persimmons signify that everything will go well. One could print out the drawing and fill the persimmons one by one from day to day.
