The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into twenty-four Solar Terms. The Minor Snow(小雪), the 20th solar term of the year, begins on November 22 this year. Here are several things you should know about the Minor Snow.
Wearing hats and scarves
In China, starting in the Minor Snow, the wind blows from the northeast a lot. Many people do not wear hats or scarves yet. In fact, according to an old Chinese saying, "The head is the place where all passages of the body gather." It's necessary to wear hats and scarves to keep one's head warm.
Drinking soup
During the Minor Snow, the air indoors is dry and most people might find their nose and mouth feel a bit dry. This will cause "inner heat" in one's body. The key is to drink more hot soup.
Eating rice cake
In some areas of South China, people eat rice cakes around the Minor Snow. In ancient times, rice cakes were a traditional festival offering to the bull god(牛神).
Making pickled(腌制的) vegetables and pork
After the Minor Snow, because of low temperature and dry air, it is the best time to start making preserved pork, which by the Chinese Spring Festival would be ready to enjoy. The people in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, have welcomed the Minor Snow with making pickled vegetables.
In addition, we like to eat hot and spicy food to keep warm. However, it's not wise to eat much spicy food because that will increase inner heat. This year's Minor Snow is coming, wish you be surrounded by a life full of warmth.
