What does Xiaoxue stand for?

Light snow means that the weather becomes wet and cold. Entering this solar term, the northwest wind began to become a frequent visitor in China, and the temperature dropped below 0 degrees Celsius, 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, everything lost its vitality, and the world was blocked and turned into a severe winter. The first snow will appear in the area north of the Yellow River to remind people to keep warm and keep out the cold.

There is no necessary connection between the light snow in solar terms and the light snow in the weather. The meaning of "light snow" in solar terms is different from that in daily weather forecast. Xiaoxue solar term is a climate concept, which represents the climate characteristics during Xiaoxue solar term. The light snow in the weather forecast refers to the snow with less snowfall intensity. Snow is the product of cold weather. Meteorologically, the horizontal visible distance is equal to or greater than 1000m, the ground snow depth is less than 3cm, and the snowfall in 24 hours is between 0. 1-2.4mm, which is called "light snow". ..
