What's the saying of Xiaoxue solar term?

Xiaoxue is the twentieth of the twenty-four solar terms.

Light snow is not only the twentieth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms, but also the second solar term in winter. Light snow is also a season that reflects weather phenomena. On the 22nd or 23rd of the Gregorian calendar (165438+1October) every year, the sun reaches 240 degrees of the yellow meridian, which is called the light snow solar term. "Snow" is the product of cold weather, so "light snow" is used to describe the climate characteristics of this solar term "the climate is not deep and the precipitation is not heavy".

The "light snow" solar term reflects the changing trend of temperature and precipitation, and does not mean that there is a small amount of snow under this solar term. The solar term "light snow" is not necessarily related to the "light snow" in the weather. In ancient China, light snow was divided into three stages: "When the rainbow disappeared, it disappeared;" Second, the weather is rising and the atmosphere is falling; It was blocked three times and turned into winter. "

Some customs in Xiao Xue.

1. Bacon: There is a folk custom of "curing with wind in winter and storing it for the winter". After the light snow solar term, the temperature plummeted and the weather became drier. At this time, some farmers began to make their own sausages and bacon, and used traditional methods to store excess meat, just in time to enjoy delicious food during the Spring Festival.

2. Dried fish: Taiwan Province Province proverb "October beans are too fat to see the head", which means that "bean fish" can be caught in October of the lunar calendar in the Bagai area of Chiayi County. The mullet group will come to the Taiwan Province Strait around the light snow, including swordfish and sand fish. During the light snow season, fishermen in the south-central coastal areas of Taiwan Province Province will start drying dried fish and storing dry food.
