The winter solstice is a very important solar term, and it is also a traditional festival in China's lunar calendar. Up to now, there are still many places where the winter solstice festival is held. The winter solstice is commonly known as "Winter Festival", "Dragon Solstice Festival" and "Asian New Year Festival". As early as 2500 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, China had determined the winter solstice by observing the sun through the soil return, which was the earliest of the 24 solar terms. The time is between February 22nd and 23rd of Gregorian calendar 12.

Heavy snow: Heavy snow, the 2nd1solar term in 24 solar terms, entered the festival from February 6th to 8th in Gregorian calendar, when the sun reached 255. The arrival of heavy snow in solar terms means that the weather will get colder and colder, and the possibility of snow will greatly increase. Like light snow, rain and Grain Rain, heavy snow is a solar term that directly reflects precipitation. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "Heavy snow, solar terms in November, so far there is also much snow." Heavy snow means that the possibility of snowfall is greater than that of light snow, the weather is colder, and the snow often falls heavily and widely. Due to global warming, the snowfall in the south of China is small, but the north is frozen for thousands of miles.
