24 Solar Terms | Minor Snow

Minor Snow, or "Xiaoxue" in Chinese, is the 20th of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms, and will last from November 22 to December 6 this year.

It is the second solar term of winter, and indicates that snow is about to arrive.

From this solar term onwards, people in South China will begin to feel the coming of winter. With the weather becoming increasingly cold, people wait expectantly for the first snow.
