What do you mean, the snow is getting colder and colder, and you are happy at the end of the year.

The snow is getting colder, which also means that it is snowing, the weather is getting colder, and the end of the year is elegant and comfortable.

Heavy snow is the 21st solar term among the 24 solar terms and the third solar term in winter. The time is 65438+ February 7th or 8th of the Gregorian calendar every year, which is also the end of the lunar calendar and the beginning of next month, marking the official start of the mid-winter season. At that time, the sun will reach 255 degrees.

Heavy snow means colder weather, and the possibility of snowfall is greater than that of light snow. It doesn't mean that there must be a lot of snowfall. On the contrary, after the heavy snow, the precipitation in various places decreased further.

Yuan Wucheng wrote "Twenty-four solar terms" and said: "At this point, it is snowy." Heavy snow means colder weather, and the possibility of snowfall in solar terms is greater than that of light snow. This doesn't mean that there must be a lot of snowfall.

When the solar term comes, every household is busy pickling pickles. Add star anise, cinnamon, pepper, sugar, etc. To salt, stir-fry until the fried salt and pepper are completely cooled, apply it to fish, meat and poultry inside and outside, and knead it repeatedly until the color of meat turns from fresh to dark, and liquid oozes from the surface. Then put the meat and the remaining salt in a jar, hold it down with stones and put it in a cool and backlit place.
