The Chinese calendar has 24 Solar Terms. The Minor Snow is the 20th Solar Term and starts on 22 November. Here are several traditions you should know about the Minor Snow.
☆ Wearing hats and scarves. When the Minor Snow comes, the wind from the north-east is strong. Many people don't wear hats or scarves yet. But it's necessary to keep your head warm because it's where all the body's energy lines meet.
☆ Drinking soup. The air inside is dry during the Minor Snow, and your nose and mouth might feel dry. This can cause “inner heat” in your body. To help, drink more hot soup.
☆ Eating rice cakes. In some areas of southern China, people eat rice cakes during the Minor Snow. In ancient times, rice cakes were a traditional festival offering (供品) to the bull god.
☆ Making pickled (腌渍的) vegetables and pork. After the Minor Snow, it's cold and dry, which is perfect for making pickled vegetables and pork. By the Chinese New Year, they're ready to eat. People in the Yangtze River area usually make pickled vegetables to celebrate the Minor Snow.

2. Why is it necessary to wear hats and scarves during the Minor Snow?
