Xiaoxue explains solar terms

The next sentence in the lonely light snow is: light frost with mottled temples.

This sentence comes from "Light Snow Day and Little Doctor" written by Xu Xuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty:

In the west, the sun sets in the west, and I try my own tea in the new stove.

Hedgehog chrysanthemums are all covered with water, and Saihong flies to the distant sunset.

Lonely light snow is idle, mottled light cream is on the temples.

Don't wish Cang Hua a poem when you are helpless.

This poem describes the atmosphere of light snow solar terms in the past: the sun is drifting away in autumn, the snow is falling and it is cold. At sunset, the poet is trying to make tea with a new stove. The chrysanthemums on the hedge are lying by the pool, and the geese outside the Great Wall are heading for the sunset. Who knows how much white hair has been added to the sideburns in the empty days of sending away the "light snow" in loneliness and boredom, which makes people feel helpless and disappointed.

According to the traditional custom in China, when it snows, you should recite poems. In winter, the weather is cold and gloomy, and people's mood is inevitably affected by it. It's easy to get depressed and slow down metabolism, which is not good for your health. Therefore, Xiaoxue formed the custom of reciting poems, expressing feelings and soothing the mood.
