The Twenty-Four Solar Terms
Snow
Greatness is abundance.
At this point, the snowfall has reached its peak.
Introduction to the Solar Terms
Great Snow is the 21st of the 24 solar terms and the third solar term of winter. During Great Snow, the sun’s position reaches 255 degrees along the ecliptic, and the term begins between December 6 and 8 on the Gregorian calendar. Like Minor Snow, Rain Water, Grain Rain, and Lesser Fullness, Great Snow is a solar term that directly reflects precipitation. The arrival of Great Snow signals increasingly cold weather and gradually increasing snowfall or rainfall. The most common phenomena associated with this solar term are falling temperatures and rain or snow.
Festival Folklore
Cured meat
There’s an old saying in Nanjing: “During Light Snow, we pickle vegetables; during Heavy Snow, we cure meat.” As soon as the Heavy Snow solar term arrives, every household busies itself curing preserved foods. Coarse salt is stir-fried in a pan with star anise, cinnamon bark, Sichuan peppercorns, white sugar, and other spices. Once the spiced salt has cooled, it is rubbed all over fish, meat, and poultry—inside and out—and massaged repeatedly until the flesh darkens from bright red and begins to exude liquid. The meat, along with any remaining salt, is then placed in a crock, weighted down with stones, and set in a cool, shaded spot. After about two weeks, it is removed; the brine that has drawn out is brought to a boil with water, skimming off any foam, then the dried meat is added and layered in the crock. The salty brine is poured over it, and another heavy stone is placed on top. Ten days later, the meat is taken out and hung under a sunlit eave to dry, ready for the New Year.
Watching the river freeze over
“Light snow seals the ground, heavy snow seals the rivers.” In the north, there is the natural spectacle of “a thousand miles frozen over, ten thousand miles with snow drifting,” while in the south, one can enjoy the enchanting scene of “snowflakes dancing, a sky full of silver.” By the time the solar term Great Snow arrives, the rivers are completely frozen, and people can freely go ice-skating and have fun.
Drink sweet potato porridge
In northern Shandong, there is a folk saying: “When Lu Du bars the door, first drink red sweet potato porridge.” During this solar term, drinking more sweet potato porridge is very beneficial for health; it can boost immunity and help reduce colds and fevers during the chilly winter.
Winter Health Preservation During Heavy Snowfall
The Great Snow solar term is an excellent time for tonifying the body; as the saying goes, “Nourish in winter, and you’ll be strong enough to vanquish tigers in spring.” Winter tonification can boost immune function, enhance metabolism, and alleviate sensitivity to cold. Around the Great Snow period, eating citrus fruits in moderation can help prevent and treat rhinitis, clear phlegm, and relieve coughing. During this time, days are short and nights are long across the Northern Hemisphere, giving rise to farming proverbs such as “During Great or Lesser Snow, cooking never stops.” You can regularly drink ginger‑jujube soup to ward off the cold, eat oranges, and use peppermint oil to prevent rhinitis and ease phlegm and cough.
