Is the Xiaoxue solar term in autumn or winter?

The Minor Snow solar term is a solar term in winter.
The Minor Snow solar term is the twentieth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term in winter.
The so-called light snow refers to the starting time and extent of snowfall. Snow is a product of cold weather. During the Xiaoxue solar term, the northern part of the southern region begins to enter winter. "The lotus has withered and there is no rain cover, but the chrysanthemums are gone and still have frosty branches." It is already the scene of early winter.

Do you know the origin of the Xiaoxue solar term?

As one of the 24 solar terms, the origin of the Minor Snow solar term has attracted much attention. The ancient book "Qunfangpu" said: "The weather in Minor Snow is cold and it will snow, but the ground is not too cold and the snow is not heavy." That is to say, during the Minor Snow solar term, the weather is cold and the precipitation changes from rain to snow, but at this time the amount of snow is not heavy because "the ground is not too cold", so it is called Minor Snow. Therefore, Xiaoxue indicates the starting time and degree of snowfall. Like Yu Shui, Guyu and other solar terms, it is a solar term that directly reflects precipitation.
"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the middle of October, rain falls but is thinned by the cold air, so it condenses into snow. The "minor snow" means not yet full." During this period, the weather gradually becomes colder, and the average first snowfall in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River basically coincides with the Minor Snow season. Although it has started to snow, the amount of snow is generally small and it freezes at night and melts during the day.

What are some ancient poems about the Xiaoxue solar term?

Light Snow by Li Xianyong of the Tang Dynasty
In the gloomy wind, the world is endless.
I can't press the pine tree yet, but I can temporarily stay by hitting the stone.
The quiet pavilion is filled with thoughts, and the long journey brings me travel sorrow.
To the north of Kongtong Mountain, I have long thought of Yucheng Hill.
Night Mooring at Jingxi River by Chen Yu of the Tang Dynasty
The light snow has cleared and the reed leaves are dark, the long waves are suddenly rapid and the cranes are screaming.
I stayed alone in a boat on the flowing water all night, watching the moon set over the mountain into the stream.
