What does the light snow solar term mean? The origin of light snow solar terms.

"Light snow" is a season that reflects weather phenomena. It is called Xiaoxue because it has started to snow and become cold, but the snow is not big and the cold is not that heavy. The following is the analysis:

Xiaoxue is the twentieth of the twenty-four solar terms. The starting point is165438+1October 22nd or 23rd in the Gregorian calendar every year, and the sun is located at latitude-2016' and reaches longitude 240.

"Twenty-four solar terms" said: "In the middle of June of 5438+00, it rained and was blown thin by the cold, so it condensed into snow. The words of the villain are not prosperous. "

"Qunfangpu" said: "The light snow is cold, and it will snow, but the ground is cold and the snow is not big."

Regarding the origin of light snow, the origin of many solar terms should be the same, which is the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the ancient Han working people. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, four solar terms were set, namely, mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter. After continuous improvement and perfection, by the Qin and Han Dynasties, the 24 solar terms had been completely established. In BC 104, the taichu calendar written by Deng Ping officially set 24 solar terms in the calendar, and defined the astronomical position of the 24 solar terms.
