Wearing hats and scarves
In China, starting in the Minor Snow, the wind blows from the north-east 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

Eating rice cakes
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 gods of the earth.
