新素材 传统文化 The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into twenty-four solar terms. Minor Snow, the 20th solar term of the year, begins on November 22 this year. Here are a few things you should know about Minor Snow.
Wearing hats and scarves
In China, starting in 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 Minor Snow, the air in the houses is dry and most people may 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 cakes
In some areas of South China, people eat rice cakes around Minor Snow. In ancient times, rice cakes were a traditional festival offering(祭品) to the bull god(牛神).
Making pickled(腌制的) vegetables and pork
After Minor Snow, because of low temperature and dry air, it is the best time to start making preserved pork(腊肉), which by the Chinese Spring Festival would be ready to enjoy. The people in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, have welcomed Minor Snow with making pickled vegetables.
In addition(此外), we like to eat hot and spicy(辣的) 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 to be surrounded by(被……包围) a life full of warmth.
