enjoy the snow
During the heavy snow season, people enjoy the snow scene in the ice and snow. The third volume of "Old Stories of Wulin" by Zhou Mi in the Southern Song Dynasty said: "To enjoy the snow in the forbidden area, most of them are in the Mingyuan Tower. In the back garden, there are big and small snow lions, and they are decorated with golden bells and threads, and they are made into snowflakes, snow lanterns, snow mountains, etc. The crisps are flowers and other events, and they are put in golden basins for appreciation." This vivid text describes the situation of the royal family and noble relatives in Hangzhou city making snowmen and snow mountains in heavy snow weather.
Ornamental closure of the river
Light snow seals the land, heavy snow seals the river. When the river is frozen, people enjoy skating and playing, and enjoy the scenery of the closed river on the bank. Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty often watched ice plays at Yilan Hall in Beihai in winter. Emperor Qianlong also had works related to ice play, such as "Yu Zhi Taiye Pond Ice Play Poetry Collection" and "Yu Zhi Bing Play Fu".
cooking at night
The days of the Daxue solar term are short and the nights are long. In ancient times, various handicraft workshops and household handicrafts started night work one after another, commonly known as "night work". The handmade textile industry, embroidery industry, and dyeing workshop have to eat late at night, so there are "night cooking" and "night snack". In order to meet this demand, various food stalls also opened night markets one after another, and the business was booming until the fifth watch.

"Little snow pickled vegetables, heavy snow cured meat" and "Before Chinese New Year, fatten the eaves first" refer to the custom of the heavy snow solar term, that is, cured meat. As soon as the snow season arrives, every household is busy making "salty goods". Whether it is poultry or fish, people use traditional methods to process them into fragrant delicacies to welcome the coming New Year. The custom of cured meat in heavy snow has a long history, which is the same as the origin of firecrackers, which is related to the year. "Nian" is a ferocious monster with sharp horns, and it will come out to hurt people every New Year's Eve. In order to avoid harm, people stay at home at the end of the year, marinate and store meat, and store fresh vegetables by air-drying.
