Heavy Snow

The ancient Chinese divided the sun’s annual circular motion into 24 segments. Each segment was called a specific ‘Solar Term’.

The element of Twenty-Four Solar Terms originated in the Yellow River reaches of China. The criteria for its formulation were developed through the observation of changes of seasons, astronomy and other natural phenomena in this region and has been progressively applied nationwide.

It starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. The element has been transmitted from generation to generation and used traditionally as a timeframe to direct production and daily routines. It remains of particular importance to farmers for guiding their practices.

Today is Heavy Snow, it is the 21st solar term in the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms. During Heavy Snow, the snow becomes heavy and begins to accumulate on the ground. The temperature drops significantly.

“Heavy Snow” is a very important period for farmers. If the snow is very heavy, it means next year will be a harvesting year. This is because that the nitrogen compound in snow is 4 times more than those in the rain. When the snow melt and soak into the soil, the increased nitrogen in soil can be absorbed by crops quicker. At the same time, the freezing snow water can kill many pests on earth’s surface layer.

The snow in North China may last a whole day, breaking tree branches and blocking the road. The natural scenery is “ice blockading for hundreds miles and snow flying through thousands miles”. In the South, the snowflakes swirl around and the world turns white.

After the Heavy Snow, the weather will get colder and colder. If you want to ship the goods before our New Year holiday, please confirm your order as soon as possible.
