The meaning of heavy snow and traditional customs

I think the traditional customs of heavy snow include curing meat and rewarding rivers.

First, cured meat

As the saying goes, "light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles". As soon as the solar term arrives, every household is busy pickling "salt goods". Although the process is tedious, everyone enjoys it.

Second, enjoy the river.

People often say that "light snow seals the land and heavy snow seals the river". In the snowy season, we can enjoy the scenery of river closure.

The moral of snow

"Heavy snow" is the 2 1 solar term in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, and it is also the third solar term in winter, marking the official start of the mid-winter season. Heavy snow means colder weather, and the possibility of snowfall is greater than that of light snow. This doesn't mean that there must be a lot of snowfall.
