In China, there are 24 solar terms(节气)in a year. And there are six of them in winter. They are beginning of winter light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice(冬至), lesser cold(小寒) and greater cold.
Beginning of winter usually falls on November 7h or 8th. After beginning of winter, most parts of the country can start to expect cold weather. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy to have a rest and spend tine with family. The northern China celebrates beginning of winter as the "Small Spring Festival'". People usually have dumplings and mutton soup on that day.
Light snow usually falls on November 22nd or 23rd and heavy snow usually falls on December 7th or 8th. When winter solstice comes, it brings the shortest days of the year and the longest nights. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather yet. People often start counting"'nine cold periods" starting from winter solstice. Every cold period has nine days.People believe that after 81 cold days,spring will come.
Greater cold comes after lesser cold. The field is covered with snow. And all Chinese are ready to welcome the Spring Festival after it. Of course, a new round of solar terms will start.
