Pictures of characteristics and customs of solar terms in heavy snow

Features and customs of the solar term of heavy snow: nationwide cooling, dry and occasional snowfall in the south, bacon and pickles.

During the heavy snow season, except for South China and South Yunnan, most parts of China have entered the winter. The average temperature in Northeast and Northwest China is below-10℃, and the temperature in the Yellow River Basin and North China is also stable below 0℃. At this time, the Yellow River basin has been gradually snowing, but it has been snowing further north. However, in the south, especially in Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta, the vegetation is still lush and the feeling of dryness is still obvious, which is quite different from the climate in the north.

As the saying goes, "light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles", in the heavy snow season, the production of some pickled products is about to begin. In ancient times, there was a lack of fresh-keeping means, so people usually chose pickled food for storage. For example, bacon, spicy cabbage, pickled radish strips, pickled cabbage (snow red) and so on.

Keep warm in the snowy season. Cold is the main feature of this solar term. Although it doesn't snow like Wan Li in the north, the temperature in the south drops obviously, so keep warm when you go out.

In addition, after entering winter, the days become shorter and the nights become longer. Students should also be careful not to stay up late. It is good to go to bed early and get up early. After waking up every morning, you can go out for fresh air. If you don't want to go out, you can also open the window for ventilation and change the fresh air.
