Major Snow, the twenty-first of the twenty-four solar terms, and the third solar term of winter, marks the official beginning of the midwinter season, when temperatures will be lower and days will be shorter. The ancients saied, Major Snow, November festival. The big means more, so far the snow is flourishing. ”
The Major Snow is a solar term that reflects the trend of temperature and precipitation, and it is a reflection of the season in ancient farming culture. Unlike Minor Snow, Major Snow is heavy and snowfall is widespread. At this time, most of China has entered winter, and the north is already a scene of thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.
In ancient China, Major Snow was divided into three periods: First is that The birds no longer chirp; The second is that tiger starts mating; Third is weeds grow tall. This means that because of the cold weather, the bird no longer chirps; At this time, it is also the heyday of yin qi, just as the so-called prosperity and decline, the yang qi has sprouted, so the tiger began to have courtship behavior; Liting is a kind of bluegrass, and it also feels the germination of yang qi and pulls out new shoots.
As the saying goes, Auspicious snow heralds a good year . After heavy snowfall in winter, snow accumulates to keep the temperature on the ground and around crops from dropping again due to cold snaps. In this way, the snow gives the crops a better wintering environment, and the soil moisture content increases when the snow melts the following spring. The content of nitride in snow water is five times that of ordinary rainwater, which has a certain fertilizer effect. Therefore, there is a farming proverb three layers of wheat cover in winter, sleep with steamed buns in the next year.
