Solar term Xiaoxue: Sunday, November 22, 2020 4:39:38. The 2020 Xiaoxue solar term begins at around 4:00 a.m. on November 22 in the lunar calendar.
At the beginning of the Minor Snow solar term, the soil in Northeast China had frozen to a depth of 10 centimeters. Then, it froze an average of 1 centimeter more per day and night, and by the end of the solar term, it had frozen to more than one meter. So as the saying goes, "The ground is frozen tightly after a light snowfall", and then all rivers, big and small, will freeze over one after another.
An agricultural proverb says, "If the sky is full of snow during the Minor Snow Festival, there will be a good harvest next year." There are three meanings here. First, if the sky is full of snow during the Minor Snow Festival, the rainfall will be evenly distributed in the next year, without severe drought or flooding. Second, the snow can freeze some germs and pests to death, thus reducing the occurrence of diseases and pests in the next year. Third, the accumulated snow has a warming effect, which is beneficial to the decomposition of organic matter in the soil and enhances soil fertility. Therefore, the saying "auspicious snow indicates a good harvest" has certain scientific truth.

Which solar term is Xiaoxue?

Xiaoxue is the 20th solar term in the 24 solar terms. The time is November 22 or 23 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 240° of the ecliptic longitude. "Xiaoxue" is a solar term that reflects the characteristics of the climate.
"Xiaoxue" is a festival that reflects weather phenomena. The ancient book "Qunfangpu" says: "Minor Snow means the weather is cold and it will snow soon, but the ground is not too cold and the snow is not heavy."
"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the middle of October, the rain falls but is thinned by the cold air, so it condenses into snow. The word "Xiaoxue" means "not yet heavy." The arrival of "Xiaoxue" means the winter snowfall is about to begin.
The "Xiaoxue" in the solar term has no necessary connection with the Xiaoxue in the weather. The "Xiaoxue" in the Xiaoxue solar term is different from the Xiaoxue in the daily weather forecast. The Xiaoxue solar term is a climate concept, which represents the climate characteristics during the "Xiaoxue" solar term, while the "Xiaoxue" in the weather forecast refers to snow with less intensity.
Based on their observations of nature, the ancient Chinese divided "Minor Snow" into three stages: "In the first stage, the rainbow disappears; in the second stage, the air temperature rises and the ground temperature drops; in the third stage, everything is closed and winter comes." This means that rainbows will not appear at this time, all things will lose their vitality, the sky and the earth will be closed and the cold season will begin.

Meteorology related to the Xiaoxue solar term

Classification according to meteorological precipitation. The size of snow can also be divided into three categories: light snow, medium snow and heavy snow:
24-hour precipitation: light snow below 2.5 mm, moderate snow 2.6-5.0 mm, heavy snow above 5.0 mm;
Precipitation in a few hours: Light snow less than 1.0 mm, moderate snow 1.1-3.0 mm, heavy snow greater than 3.0 mm
The light snow season has entered early winter, and the weather is gradually getting colder. The dew on the ground turns into frost, the raindrops in the sky become snowflakes, and the flowing water solidifies into solid ice. The whole earth is covered with a layer of pure white. But the snow at this time is often in a half-frozen and half-melted state, which is called "wet snow" in meteorology. Sometimes rain and snow fall together, and this type of snowfall is called "sleet".
