What's the point of a little cold and light snow?

A slight cold and light snow mean a bumper harvest. If it snows before and after the slight cold solar term, it will get colder and colder during the period from slight cold to severe cold, which is of great benefit to crop growth. In cold weather, insect eggs and germs lurking in crops will freeze to death, and snow will form rain after melting, which can supplement the water needed for crop growth.

In addition, snowflakes are rich in nitrogen, which is an essential nutrient for crops to turn green, so farmers will especially look forward to the snowfall before and after the slight cold solar terms, because the slight cold snowfall means the bumper harvest of crops in the coming year.

Slight cold is the 23rd solar term in 24 solar terms, the 5th solar term in winter, the end of calendar month and the beginning of ugly month. Cold solar terms are characterized by cold, but they are not extremely cold.
