In the light snow season in the north, instant-boiled mutton is generally eaten, and the suitable warming foods are mutton, beef, chicken and so on. After the light snow, the temperature plummeted and the weather became dry, which is also a good time to process bacon. Some places in the south also have the custom of eating Ciba in October of the lunar calendar. Before and after the light snow, Tujia people started the annual folk activity of "killing pigs to welcome the new year", which added a warm atmosphere to the cold winter.
