What is the moral of the light snow solar term? What does light snow mean?

Guide: Going around, we ushered in the light snow solar terms, and also ushered in people who are not familiar with the light snow solar terms. What is the moral of the light snow solar term? What does light snow mean? Light snow is one of the twenty-four solar terms, ranking twentieth among them. It belongs to the solar term in winter. The following is my detailed introduction to Xiaoxue solar terms. Interested friends have a look.

Xiaoxue is the twentieth of the twenty-four solar terms. 165438+1On October 22nd or 23rd, when the sun reaches 240, it is called the light snow solar term. At this time, the sun is at-2016' at the declination. On this day, Beijing's daylight saving time is only 9 hours and 49 minutes, and the height of the sun at noon is only 29 50'.

During the "light snow" solar term, the bucket handle of the Big Dipper points to the northwest at night (equivalent to 10 on the clock). Every night after 20: 00, if you look at the stars at home, you can see that the Big Dipper sinks in the west, while the W-shaped Cassiopeia rises to the sky. Instead of the Big Dipper, she found the coordinates of Polaris and navigated for the stargazers. The quadrilateral Pegasus is facing the sky, and Orion, which symbolizes the winter starry sky, is already on the eastern horizon.

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.

Light snow indicates the beginning time and degree of snowfall. Snow is the product of cold weather. Light snow solar terms, the northern part of the southern region began to enter winter. "There is no rain in the lotus, but there are frost branches in the chrysanthemum", which has already shown the scene of early winter. Due to the barrier of Qinling Mountain and Daba Mountain in the north, the invasion of cold air is blocked and the severity of cold wave is reduced. The "warm winter" in South China is remarkable. The number of snowfall days in the whole year is mostly less than 5 days, which is much less than that in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River at the same latitude. There is little chance of snowfall before the heavy snow. Even in the middle of winter, you can rarely see the charming scenery of "blowing open the petals of ten thousand pear trees". Because the surface temperature in South China is often above 0℃ in winter, it is more difficult to snow than to snow. Occasionally, although the sky is buzzing, there is no "broken jade" on the ground. In the cold northwest plateau, it usually begins to snow all the year round 10. The number of snowfall days in the northwest of the plateau can reach more than 60 days a year, and snowfall is possible in some alpine regions all year round.

Light snow custom: curing and hunting meat

In China, bacon has a history of thousands of years. According to legend, as early as more than 2,000 years ago, Zhang Lu called King Hanning. When he came to Hongmiaotang in Hanzhong, he was defeated in the south, and the local people entertained him with bacon. In the 26th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi took refuge in xi 'an with Emperor Guangxu. Local officials in southern Shaanxi once presented bacon as a tribute to the emperor. After tasting the bacon, Cixi was full of praise.

In the folk, there has always been a traditional habit of curing bacon in various regions, which is very common. Every year1February, that is, before "Xiaoxue" to "beginning of spring", every household has to kill pigs and sheep. In addition to leaving enough fresh meat for the New Year, we have to leave some. People marinate meat in jars with salt and spices such as pepper, fennel, cinnamon and clove. After 7 to 15 days, hang it with palm leaves or bamboo ropes, drip water, smoke it with cypress branches and sugarcane skins, finally hang it and smoke it slowly with fireworks to make bacon. People living in cities, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, will also go to the market to choose pork, chickens, ducks and fish with good meat quality and take them home to pickle them into bacon, so as to taste the bacon and add a warm atmosphere at the end of the year.

What should we pay attention to when the light snow solar term comes?

1, cold and warm.

Since the beginning of this solar term, the northeast wind has blown much. As the climate has not cooled to the severe winter, many people don't pay much attention to wearing hats and scarves, and often catch a cold. So be sure to wear a hat and pay attention to the cold.

2. Go to bed early and get up late, and soak your feet before going to bed.

Light snow solar terms should enhance physical fitness, improve immunity and cold resistance. First of all, we must ensure adequate sleep. Go to bed early and get up late in winter, and it is best not to rest later than 22 o'clock. 1 above does not rest, people's immunity is easy to decline, the temperature drops obviously after the light snow solar term, and it is easier to get sick if you rest too late.

The light snow solar term mainly means what changes must be paid attention to.

3, want to be healthy, drink more soup.

Winter tonic is just the right time. Through a reasonable diet and proper exercise, we can keep the essence, keep fit and prolong life. People often say that medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, and there are many ways of food tonic, among which soup tonic can be described as "food tonic first".

4, diligent exercise, not lazy.

Studies have shown that people with less activity on weekdays are 2-3 times more likely to catch a cold than those with normal activity. This is because the lack of time for outdoor activities, fresh air and sunshine will slow down the blood circulation of the body, reduce the body's disease-resistant immunity, and make it difficult to adapt to the outdoor environment, so it is easy to catch a cold. To prevent colds, we should go to nature, actively exercise and strengthen our physique.
