The advent of Lesser Snow's solar terms means the arrival of the northwest wind, and the temperature has gradually dropped below 0 ℃.

In ancient China, Lesser Snow was divided into three phases: "the rainbow is hidden without seeing the rainbow; the weather rises and the earth drops; and the third is blocked into winter." Due to the rise of Yang in the sky and the decline of Yin in the earth, there is no communication between heaven and earth, and there is no exchange between yin and yang, so all things lose their vitality, and heaven and earth are blocked and turned into the cold winter.

Lesser Snow custom

With the advent of Lesser Snow, the stored vegetables, the land in the northeast began to freeze, and the soil could be frozen to a depth of 10 centimeters, so in the north, fruit growers began to prune the fruit trees and wrap the stalks with straw foil to prevent the fruit trees from freezing.

Farmers stop watering ten days before harvest to do a good job of anti-freezing, and try their best to harvest when the weather is fine. When it is cold, it is covered with cabbage leaves and corn stalks to prevent freezing, and when it is ready to eat, it will be ripe.

Diet custom

There is also the custom of eating Zanba in the tenth month of the lunar calendar in some parts of southern China. In ancient times, Zanba was a traditional festival offering in the south, and it was first used by farmers to sacrifice cattle gods.

When Lesser Snow arrives, eating Zanba can balance yin and yang, but eating too many high-calorie supplements will lead to stomach and lung fire. Therefore, we should also eat some cold food, such as radish, pine flower eggs. Health care and health preservation
