Brief introduction of light snow solar terms

Xiaoxue is the twentieth of the twenty-four solar terms. The starting point is165438+1October 22nd or 23rd in the Gregorian calendar every year. The sun is located at declination-2016' and the longitude reaches 240.

"Twenty-four solar terms" said: "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. "

"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."

There is a cloud in the poem: "The first snow in Taihang Mountain brought a cold wind and withered all the way to central Jiangxi. When chrysanthemums wither and plum blossoms move in the dark, we know that the earth turns to the sun. " (Heshui Zuo's "Light Snow")

Entering this solar term, the northwest wind began to become a frequent visitor in China, and the temperature gradually dropped below 0℃, but the earth was not too cold. Although it began to snow, the amount of snow was not large, so it was called light snow. At this time, Yin Qi fell and Yang Qi rose, which led to the impassability of heaven and earth, the imbalance of yin and yang, the loss of vitality of everything, and the occlusion of heaven and earth into the severe winter. The first snow will appear in the area north of the Yellow River, reminding people that it is time to keep out the cold and keep warm.
