What is the meaning of "Xiaoxue"?

Old people in the countryside say that "it's better to have sunny days than rainy days during the Minor Snow season." When the Minor Snow season comes, if it rains on the same day, it means that there will be no good weather in the next half month, and rain and snow will come continuously, which will directly lead to a long shortening of the Heavy Snow season. The entire winter will be dry, which will bring great difficulties to wheat overwintering. The wheat leaves will dry up, the roots will be affected, and it may even freeze to death, resulting in a large-scale reduction in wheat production.

If it does not rain on the day of the Minor Snow solar term, the heavy snow season will arrive. It will snow normally until the Spring Festival, and the snow will be evenly distributed, which is conducive to the wintering of winter wheat. The heavy snow covers the wheat like a big quilt, and the wheat will not freeze to death. The leaves will be bright and the roots will be deep, so the wheat can survive the winter normally, and we look forward to a bumper wheat harvest next year.

In general, light snow and moderate rain are beneficial to the development of agricultural production, life and work, and are a good situation that everyone is looking forward to.
