The origin and story of heavy snow in solar terms

Every year around 65438+February 7 in Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 255 degrees of the Yellow Meridian, it is a "heavy snow" solar term.

In ancient China, the "heavy snow" was divided into three periods: "When the cuckoo gull stopped singing; Second, wait for the tiger to pay; Wait for you to stand out. " This means that at this time, due to the cold weather, Hao Han birds no longer sing; This is the most prosperous time in Yin Qi. As the saying goes, when the sun is shining, tigers will start courtship. "Liting" is a kind of bluegrass, and it also feels the spiritual germination of the sun and pulls out new buds. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "At this time, the snow is abundant." Heavy snow means that the weather will be colder, and the possibility of snowfall in solar terms is greater than that of light snow. This doesn't mean that there must be a lot of snowfall.
