24节气英文介绍 （大雪）

Heavy Snow 大雪

After the “Slight Snow”, it’s the “Heavy Snow”, which is around December 7 or December 8 each year. “Heavy Snow”, just like it’s meaning, indicates more snow days and snow falls.

大雪是紧接着小雪之后的一个节气，通常是在每年的12月7日或8日到来。“大雪”顾名思义，将会预示着迎来更多的下雪天和更多降雪。

“Heavy Snow” is a very important period for farmers. If the snow is very heavy, it means next year will be a harvesting year. This is because that the nitrogen compound in snow is 4 times more than those in the rain. When the snow melt and soak into the soil, the increased nitrogen in soil can be absorbed by crops quicker. At the same time, the freezing snow water can kill many pests on earth’s surface layer.

对于中国农民来说“大雪”这个节气是十分重要的，如果降雪量大，那就意味这来年将会是一个丰收年，因为雪水中的氮化物含量是比雨水中氮化物含量高出4倍多，当积雪融化并渗入土壤中的时候，土壤将增加更多的氮元素，作为更容易吸收。同时积雪还能杀死地表的害虫。

Many people living in north China catch cold during this period. A folk prescription is to drink “Heavy Snow Healthy Soup”, which help defense the cold. According to traditional formula, the soup should be eaten three days before, three days in the middle, and three days after the “Heavy Snow” date, at 5 p.m. to 7 p.m..
