The ancient poems describing Xiaoxue are as follows:
1.
Preface with poems:
Indeed from "Xiaoxue" by Twenty-four Qi, in Tang
Don’t blame the rainbow for its lack of shadow, it’s snowing now. Yin and Yang are up and down, and cold and heat are separated.
The full moon shines in the sky, and the strong wind rustles the tree branches. Hengqin is still frowning when facing Lu Liang.
Brief comment: It describes the unique natural scene of Xiaoxue solar term, and ends with playing the piano and drinking wine, which makes it feel a little sad.
2.
Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty: green ant new fermented wine, red mud and small fire. It's snowing in the evening, and I can't help but drink a cup.
Brief comment: "If you can drink a cup, you will drink nothing", an unconventional folk saying that turns iron into gold. There is snow, wine, and a stove. Aren't you the happiest people in the world tonight?
3.
Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty: I was surprised to find that the quilt was cold, but the window was bright again. Late at night, I know the snow is heavy, and I hear the sound of breaking bamboo.
Brief comment: The night is cold and the window is bright. It turns out that it is snowing. I can also hear the sound of the bamboo being crushed outside the window. The poet used the scenery to narrate his feelings and express his feelings of loneliness and desolation.
Xiaoxue is the 20th solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term in winter. It occurs on November 22 or 23 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 240° of the ecliptic longitude. Light snow is a solar term that reflects precipitation and temperature. It is a solar term with high frequency of cold waves and strong cold air activities. The arrival of the light snow solar term means that the weather will become colder and the precipitation will increase.
"Snow" is the product of cold weather, so "light snow" is used to describe the climate characteristics of this solar term when "the climate is not too cold and the precipitation is not heavy". The "light snow" solar term is a solar term that reflects the changing trend of temperature and precipitation. It does not mean that there is a small amount of snow in this solar term. The "light snow" solar term is not necessarily related to the "light snow" in the weather.
During the light snow solar term, a relatively stable meridional circulation has been established in East Asia. There are often low pressures or troughs in Siberia. When it moves eastward, large-scale cold air will move southward, resulting in large-scale wind cooling. weather.
