Major Snow, one of China's twenty-four solar terms means that the weather in the future will be colder, and the possibility of snowfall is greater than during Lesser Snow. It does not mean that the amount of snowfall is large. On the contrary, precipitation in various places after the heavy snowfall will further decrease.

After the snow, the environment acquires a pristine serenity. The various abstract patterns formed by ice and snow are masterpieces of nature.
