Brief introduction of heavy snow in the twenty-four solar terms

"Heavy snow" is 2 1 solar term among the 24 solar terms, and it is a solar term reflecting precipitation like light snow, rain and Grain Rain. Usually, on February 7th or 8th every year, there is heavy snow, 65438+, and the longitude of the sun reaches 255 degrees.

"Heavy snow" does not mean that there is much snow, but that after the heavy snow season, the possibility of snowfall is greater and the scope of snowfall is wider. The ancients said: "The great man is prosperous, and the snow man is prosperous here." .

There are also many solar terms customs in heavy snow, such as enjoying snow, watching river closure and bacon. "Light snow seals the land and heavy snow seals the river". In the solar term of heavy snow, the ice in the river is frozen, and people can skate and play as much as they like. "Light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles". Every household is busy curing meat when the solar term comes.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "snow will bring good harvest". It is said that the cold weather in winter is not conducive to the growth of some crops. If the crops are covered with thick snow, they will not be affected by the cold weather outside, which is beneficial to production. In addition, the water content can be increased after snow melts, and the nitrogen content in snow water is five times higher than that in ordinary rain water, which is more conducive to the growth of crops. Therefore, there is an agricultural proverb, "This year, wheat will be covered with three quilts, and next year, steamed bread will be slept."

The origin of heavy snow in solar terms

Heavy snow, as the name implies, has a large amount of snow. The ancients said: "The great man is prosperous, and the snow man is prosperous here." . At this time, it often snows heavily and widely, hence the name heavy snow.

"Seventy-two Hou Ji Jie" "November Festival, the big ones are also prosperous, and the snowers are also prosperous so far." (November refers to the lunar calendar here), which is the ancient explanation of heavy snow. The solar term of heavy snow often comes around1February 7, when there is gradually snow in the Yellow River basin of China, while the northern part presents the charming landscape of snow in Wan Li.

At this time, the minimum temperature in most parts of China dropped to 0℃ or below. Often, in areas where cold and warm air meets strong cold air fronts, there will be heavy snow or even blizzard. It can be seen that the solar terms of heavy snow indicate the starting time of this period and the degree of heavy snow, which, like the solar terms of light snow, rain and Grain Rain, directly reflect the precipitation.

Snow story 1: Hao Han bird

Legend has it that there is a bird called Hao Han Bird. This kind of bird is different. It has four feet and two naked wings. It can't fly like an ordinary bird. In summer, Hao Han birds are covered with gorgeous feathers and look very beautiful. Hao Han bird is very proud. It thinks it is the most beautiful bird in the world, and even the Phoenix can't compare with itself. So it shook its feathers all day and walked around, singing proudly: "Phoenix is not as good as me! Phoenix is not as good as me! "

Summer passed, autumn came, and the birds were busy. Some of them began to fly to the south together, preparing to spend the warm winter there. Some stayed and worked hard all day, accumulating food, mending nests and preparing for winter. Only the Hao Han bird, which has neither the ability to fly to the south nor the desire to work hard, is still wandering around all day and still showing off its beautiful feathers.

Winter finally came, the weather was extremely cold, and the birds returned to their warm nests. At this time, Hao Han birds lost all their beautiful feathers. At night, it hides in a crevice, shivering with cold. It has been crying, "it's so cold, so cold, wait until dawn to build a nest!" " After dawn, the sun came out and the warm sunshine shone. Hao Han bird forgot the cold at night and continued to sing, "Muddle along!"! "It's so warm in the sun!"

Hao Han birds are mixed day by day, day by day, and they have never been able to build a nest for themselves. In the snow season, the north wind roared and the sunshine lost its former warmth. Hao Han Bird failed to survive the cold snow and solar terms, and finally froze to death in a crack in the rock.
