A Taiwanese proverb: The beans in October are so fat that you can’t see the end. It refers to the fact that in the Budai area of ​​Chiayi County, you can catch “bean fish” in the tenth month of the lunar calendar.

How to calculate the time of the Minor Snow solar term?

Calculation formula: (Y×D+C)-L
The "Minor Snow" solar term is usually on November 22 or 23 every year. The formula (limited to the Eastern Time Zone) is (Y×D+C)-L
Formula interpretation: Y=last two digits of the year, D=0.2422, L=leap year number, 21st century C=22.36, 20th century=23.08.
For example: The date of Minor Snow in 2088 = (88×0.2422+22.36)-(88÷4)=43-22=21, which means Minor Snow will occur on November 21st.
Exception: For 1978, add 1 day to the result.
