"Light snow" is a solar term reflecting the climate characteristics. There is no necessary connection between the light snow in solar terms and the light snow in the weather. The meaning of "light snow" in solar terms is different from that in daily weather forecast. Xiaoxue solar term is a climate concept, which represents the climate characteristics during Xiaoxue solar term. The light snow in the weather forecast refers to the snow with less snowfall intensity. Light snow solar term is a solar term with high frequency of cold wave and strong cold air activity.

There are three meanings here. First, there will be light snow, and the rain will be even in the coming year, without major droughts and floods; Second, snow can freeze some germs and pests to death, reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases in the coming year; Thirdly, snow can keep warm, which is conducive to the decomposition of soil organic matter and enhance soil fertility.

After harvesting Chinese cabbage, the roots of Chinese cabbage are dried in the sun for 3-4 days, and then stored after the outer leaves of Chinese cabbage become soft. The depth of this ditch depends on the height of cabbage. When stored, the roots of cabbage are all downward, and they are discharged side by side in the ditch. When it is cold, cabbage leaves and corn stalks are covered to prevent freezing. However, when storing semi-ripe cabbage, put some water in the ditch and put soil at the same time. The depth of soil and water should be buried in the roots, and it will grow and mature after eating.
