Proverbs of heavy snow without snow

It doesn't snow on a snowy day. The proverb is that heavy snow does not snow, and food is as solid as iron. The literal meaning of this proverb is that if it doesn't snow around the solar term, the food price in the coming year will be firm, like iron, and it will be difficult to come down. Why is it difficult to reduce food prices? The reason is naturally that the output is affected, the supply is reduced, and the price will remain high.

In other words, if it doesn't snow before and after the heavy snow solar term, the next year's grain harvest is likely to fail, leading to a reduction in crop production and a situation of high prices. There is some truth in this sentence. Since ancient times, farmers have hoped that the climate will be "favorable". It needs rain, snow and sunshine on sunny days, and crops are easy to harvest.

Common sense of solar terms in heavy snow.

Heavy snow is a solar term reflecting climate characteristics. The characteristics of heavy snow solar terms are that the temperature drops obviously compared with autumn and early winter, and the precipitation increases. During the heavy snow season, most parts of China have entered the cold winter, and the minimum temperature in some parts of the north has dropped to 0℃ or below. Cold and warm air in areas where strong cold air fronts meet, precipitation (rain or snow) increases. Meteorology refers to the condensation of water vapor falling from the sky to the ground, such as rain, snow and hail, as "precipitation".
