關(guān)于小雪你不知道的7件事The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Minor Snow, (Chinese: 小雪), the 20th solar term of the year, begins this year on Nov 22 and ends on Dec 6.中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的農(nóng)歷將一年分為24節(jié)氣。小雪是一年中第20個(gè)節(jié)氣，從11月22日開始，到12月6日結(jié)束。Minor Snow refers to the time when it starts to snow, mostly in Chinas northern areas, and the temperature continues to drop.小雪指的是當(dāng)開始下雪-主要是在中國(guó)北方地區(qū)，氣溫持續(xù)下降的時(shí)候。Here are seven things you should know about Minor Snow.以下是關(guān)于小雪你應(yīng)該知道的7件事。Lightly snowy winter一、輕雪撫冬。An ancient Chinese book about plants explains that in Minor Snow, the weather is cold and it is going to snow; while the earth is not frozen enough and the snow is light. The temperature of most areas in the north drops to zero degrees and below. While in the lower and middle reaches of the Yellow River, the average time of the first snow is in the Minor Snow solar term. The snow is light and frozen at night, but melts quickly during the day.一本有關(guān)植物的中國(guó)古籍群芳譜說(shuō)道：“小雪氣寒而將雪矣，地寒未甚而雪未大也?！北狈酱蟛糠值貐^(qū)的氣溫都降到了零度及以下。但是在黃河中下游地區(qū)，初雪的平均時(shí)間是在小雪這個(gè)節(jié)氣。雪非常小，在晚上會(huì)凝結(jié)起來(lái)，但是白天又很快就會(huì)化掉。Wearing hats and scarves二、穿帽戴圍巾。In China, starting in Minor Snow, the wind blows from the northeast a lot. Because it is not bitter yet, many people do not yet wear hats or scarves. In fact, according to an old Chinese saying, the head is the place where all passages of the body gather. It is sensible to beware that ones head cant be frozen.在中國(guó)，從小雪開始，從東北方向刮來(lái)的風(fēng)就多了起來(lái)。因?yàn)轱L(fēng)還不甚冷，所以許多人都還沒(méi)有戴帽子、圍圍巾。但是，按中國(guó)一句老話來(lái)說(shuō)：“頭為諸陽(yáng)之會(huì)?！毙⌒淖⒁忸^不要受涼是非常明智的。Drinking soup三、喝湯清內(nèi)火。During Minor Snow, indoor heating begins to work. Thus the air indoors is dry and most people might feel their nose and mouth are dry. Their inner heat energy cant get out. Symptoms appear, including dental ulcers or more pimples on a persons face. The way to solve this problem is to drink more hot soup, such as cabbage with bean curd soup, spinach with bean curd soup and mutton with radish soup.在小雪期間，室內(nèi)供暖已經(jīng)開始了。由于室內(nèi)空氣非常干燥，大多數(shù)人可能會(huì)覺(jué)得口鼻很干。人們的內(nèi)火出不來(lái)。包括口腔潰瘍、臉上長(zhǎng)痘痘等癥狀就會(huì)出現(xiàn)。解決這一問(wèn)題的辦法就是多喝點(diǎn)兒熱湯，例如白菜豆腐湯、菠菜豆腐湯、羊肉蘿卜湯等。Eating glutinous rice cake四、香甜糍粑。In some areas of south China, people have glutinous rice cakes in the early 10th lunar month, which is around Minor Snow. In ancient times, glutinous rice cake was a traditional festival offering to the bull god used by peasants.在中國(guó)南方一些地區(qū)，人們?cè)谵r(nóng)歷十月初吃糍粑，這時(shí)大概就是小雪。古時(shí)候，糍粑是農(nóng)民們獻(xiàn)給“牛神”的一種傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日祭品。Making preserved pork五、腌臘肉。After Minor Snow, the temperature declines sharply and the air becomes dry. It is the best time to start making preserved pork. Until the Chinese Spring Festival, it will be well made and enjoyed. In the past, when storage conditions were poor, people created many ways to store food. Preserved pork is one of them. Thus even in the bitter winter, the whole family could enjoy meat without going out. Some even say preserved pork tastes more delicious than fresh meat.小雪過(guò)后，氣溫會(huì)急劇下降，空氣也會(huì)變得干燥。正是開始腌制臘肉的最佳時(shí)間。到春節(jié)之前，這些臘肉會(huì)被腌制得很好、很美味。在過(guò)去，當(dāng)儲(chǔ)存條件很差的時(shí)候，人們創(chuàng)造了許多方法來(lái)儲(chǔ)存食物。腌制臘肉就是其中一種。如此一來(lái)，即使是在嚴(yán)寒的冬天，全家人也可以不用出門就享受美味的肉食。一些人甚至說(shuō)，臘肉比新鮮豬肉吃起來(lái)還要美味可口。Making pickled vegetables六、做泡菜。For thousands of years, the people of Nanjing, Jiangsu province have welcomed Minor Snow with pickled vegetables cooked in different ways.幾千年來(lái)，江蘇南京的人們一直在用各種方法烹飪泡菜來(lái)迎接小雪。Nanjing is known for its pickled vegetables. In the past, due to inconvenient transportation, vegetables sold in Nanjing were few and expensive. Thus people there made pickled vegetables for the winter.南京以其泡菜而出名。在過(guò)去，由于交通不便，南京冬天賣的蔬菜又少又貴。于是那兒的人們就準(zhǔn)備了泡菜來(lái)過(guò)冬。Avoiding spicy food七、忌辛辣。On cold days, people want to have some
