The folk customs of the Minor Snow solar term include pickling bacon, pickling vegetables, drying fish, brewing wine, eating glutinous rice cakes, and eating planed soup.
1. Cured bacon and sausage
During the Minor Snow season, the temperature drops sharply and the weather becomes dry, which is a good time to process bacon. Some farmers began making sausages and bacon, and stored the excess meat using traditional methods so that they could enjoy the delicious food during the Spring Festival.
2. Pickles
There is a folk saying that goes "Light Snow pickles vegetables, Heavy Snow pickles meat." So it means that there is a custom of pickling vegetables during the Xiaoxue solar term.
3. Drying fish
During the light snow, fishermen along the coast of central and southern Taiwan will start drying fish and storing dry food.
4. Winemaking
In ancient times, people had the custom of brewing wine during the Lesser Snow solar term. This custom has continued to modern times, and people in Zhejiang and other regions are still accustomed to brewing wine after the winter.
5. Eat glutinous rice cake
In some places in the south, there is a custom of eating glutinous rice cakes in the tenth month of the lunar calendar.
6. Eat shaved soup
Eating "Pao Tang" is a custom of the Tujia people. In the folk activity of "killing the New Year pig and welcoming the New Year", the delicacy made by carefully cooking the high-quality fresh pork that is still hot is called "Pao Tang".

Introduction to the calculation method of Xiaoxue solar term

The calculation formula for the Xiaoxue solar term date 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.
