The origin of light snow solar terms

"Light Snow" is a festival that reflects weather phenomena. There is little snow, and there is no snow on the ground. This is the original meaning of the solar term "light snow". The ancient book "Qunfangpu" says: "Light snow will snow when it is cold, and it will not even snow on the ground, and the snow is not big." In other words, the "light snow" festival is because of the cold weather.

The form of precipitation has changed from rain to snow, but at this time, because the ground is not very cold, the number of snows is small and the amount of snow is not large, it is called light snow. So light snow indicates the beginning time and degree of snowfall. Light snow, like rain and Grain Rain, is a solar term that directly reflects precipitation.
