"Xiaoxue" is in the second half of the solar calendar 1 1 and the second half of the lunar calendar in October. "Light Snow" is a festival that reflects weather phenomena. The ancient book "Qunfangpu" said: "A light snow will snow when it is cold, but the ground is not cold and the snow is not heavy." That is to say, due to the cold weather, in the "light snow" festival, the form of precipitation changed from rain to snow, but at this time, because the ground is not very cold and the amount of snow is not large, it is called light snow. Xiaoxue is the twentieth of the twenty-four solar terms. The starting point is 165438+1October 22 or 23 in the Gregorian calendar every year, and the sun is at-20 declination16, reaching 240 longitude. There is a saying in "Twenty-four solar terms": "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. " During this period, the weather gradually became cold, and the average first snow period in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River was basically the same as the Light Snow Festival. Although it began to snow, the amount of snow was generally small, and it was frozen at night and turned around by day. If the cold air is strong and the warm and humid airflow is active, it may snow heavily.
