The origin of the heavy snow solar term
Heavy snowfall is usually celebrated on December 7 every year (there are also 6th or 8th in some years). When the ecliptic longitude of the sun reaches 255 degrees, it is one of the 24 solar terms of "heavy snow". Heavy snowfall, as the name suggests, is a large amount of snow. The ancients said: "The big one, Sheng also, so far and the snow is sheng". At this time, the snow tends to fall heavily and widely, hence the name heavy snow.

In severe winter, snow covers the earth, which can keep the temperature on the ground and around the crops from falling very low due to cold snaps, creating a good wintering environment for winter crops. When the snow melts, it increases the soil moisture content, which can be used for the spring growth of crops. In addition, the nitride content of snow water is 5 times that of ordinary rainwater, and it also has a certain effect of fertilizing fields. Therefore, there is a agricultural proverb that "the wheat covers the three-layer quilt in the year, and sleeps with steamed buns in the coming year".
