What are the customs of the Big Snow solar term?

1. Pickling meat during the Great Snow One of the customs during the Great Snow solar term is pickling meat. There is an old Nanjing saying, "Light snow pickles vegetables, heavy snow pickles meat." When the Great Snow season arrives, every household is busy making salty goods. Whether it is poultry or seafood, fresh ingredients are processed into fragrant delicacies using traditional production methods to welcome the upcoming New Year.
Why do we pickle meat during the heavy snow? According to legend, there was a monster called "Nian" in ancient China. It had sharp horns on its head and was extremely ferocious. "Nian" lives deep under the sea for most of the year, and every New Year's Eve it would crawl ashore to hurt people. In order to avoid harm, people stay at home at the end of the year. Therefore, a lot of food must be stored before "Nian" comes out. Meat, fish, chicken, duck and other meat products cannot be stored for a long time, so the people of Nanjing came up with the idea of ​​pickling and storing these meat products. As for fresh vegetables, people use air drying method.
2. Eat sweet potato porridge. After the heavy snow, the temperature gradually becomes colder. People pay great attention to keeping warm both inside and outside the house, and put on winter clothes to prevent cold and frostbite. There is a saying among the people in northern Shandong that "when the roller is against the door, people will just drink red sticky porridge", which means that when it is cold, people will no longer visit other people's homes, but just stay at home and drink warm sweet potato porridge.
Sweet potatoes contain lysine, which is lacking in rice and flour. Lysine can promote the maturation of human epithelial cells and the combination of anti-cancer factors with proteins in cells, which can improve the body's resistance. Eating sweet potatoes in autumn and winter can also prevent dryness, but you can't eat too much.
3. Watch the river closure
“Light snow covers the land, heavy snow covers the rivers”. In the north, there is the natural landscape of “thousands of miles of ice and tens of thousands of miles of snow drifting”, and in the south, there is also the charming picture of “snowflakes flying and the sky full of silver”. During the Big Snow season, the ice in the river freezes and people can enjoy skating and playing.
4. Take supplements during the heavy snow
“Mutton is a strong tonic in winter. You can even go to the mountains to hunt tigers.” The old Nanjing people love to eat lamb as a tonic during heavy snow. Mutton can dispel cold and nourish the body, replenish qi and strengthen deficiency, promote blood circulation, and enhance the ability to resist cold. Lamb can also increase digestive enzymes and aid digestion. Experts suggest that when eating mutton for tonic in winter, you can mix it with yam, wolfberry, etc. to make it more nutritious.
