What is the solar term today? It is snowing everywhere.

Today is the light snow solar term, the twentieth of the 24 solar terms.

Xiaoxue is the 20th in 24 solar terms, and usually falls on1October 22nd or 23rd+165438 every year. Entering this solar term, the temperature in China gradually dropped below 0℃, and some areas began to snow, but most of the time the amount of snow was not large, so it was called "light snow".

In the ancient book "Twenty-four solar terms", there is a record about Xiaoxue: "In mid-October, it rained and was thin by the cold, so it condensed into snow. The words of the villain are not prosperous. " The ancient book "Qunfangpu" explains that this is a seasonal reflection of weather phenomena, and also says: "A light snow is cold but it will snow, and the ground is not even cold but the snow is not heavy."

"According to the old days, light snow is also the tail of autumn and the beginning of winter. Due to the influence of traditional farming social customs, after the arrival of Xiaoxue, people's lives became more leisurely, and most areas in the north began to' cat winter'. "
