What are the customs of the Big Snow solar term?

Cured Meat
There is an old Nanjing saying, "Light snow pickles vegetables, heavy snow pickles meat." When the solar term arrives, every household is busy pickling salty goods. Add salt, star anise, cinnamon, pepper, sugar, etc. into a pan and fry until cooked. After the fried pepper salt has cooled completely, apply it to the inside and outside of fish, meat and poultry, and rub it repeatedly until the color of the meat turns from fresh to dark and liquid oozes out of the surface. Then put the meat and the remaining salt into a jar, press it with a stone, and place it in a cool and dark place. Take it out after half a month, add the marinade into a pot, add water and boil it, skim off the foam, put in the dried poultry and livestock meat, stack them layer by layer in the jar, pour in the brine, and press it with a large stone. Take it out after ten days, and hang it under the eaves facing the sun to dry in order to welcome the New Year.
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.
Tonic
Heavy snow is a good time for "tonic food", and there is a saying that "tonic food in winter and fight the tiger in spring". Winter tonic can enhance the body's immune function, promote metabolism, and improve the phenomenon of chills. Winter tonic can also regulate the body's metabolism, so that the energy converted from nutrients can be stored in the body to the maximum extent, which is helpful for the rise of yang energy in the body. As the saying goes, "Nourish yourself in the coldest days of winter, and you will be free of illness in the coming year." At this time, it is advisable to warm and supplement Yang, nourish the kidneys and strengthen bones, nourish Yin and benefit essence. Winter dietary supplements should provide foods rich in protein, vitamins and easy to digest. Around the Great Snow solar term, citrus fruits are available in large quantities, such as Nanfeng mandarin oranges, Guanxi grapefruits, navel oranges and snow oranges, which are the main fruits. Eating a proper amount can prevent and treat rhinitis, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. When it snows heavily, the days are short and the nights are long in all parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Hence, there is a folk saying "Heavy snow or light snow, never stop cooking", which is used to describe the fact that the days are so short that the peasant women have to cook three meals in a row. You can drink ginger and jujube soup regularly to resist the cold; eat oranges and use peppermint oil to prevent and treat rhinitis, and eliminate phlegm and relieve cough.
