Today marks the 21st solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar, known as ‘Da Xue’ or ‘Major Snow.’ This term, which initiates the ‘Zi’ month, signifies the official arrival of midwinter. Major Snow is a solar term that reflects distinct climatic characteristics, featuring a significant drop in temperature, increased precipitation, and heightened cold air activity.
In this chilly Major Snow Season, one can almost feel the approach of winter with every movement. As temperatures plummet, snowflakes dance in the air, transforming the earth into a fairy-tale world adorned in silver. BESTWE wishes to join everyone in welcoming the onset of winter. May you feel warmth and happiness amid the falling snow, and joy and well-being accompany you. Let us unite to embrace this season filled with peace and warmth, sharing unforgettable and delightful moments in this winter’s time.
The Twenty-Four Solar Terms: Chinese knowledge of time and practices developed by observing the sun’s annual motion.
The ancient Chinese divided the sun’s annual circular motion into 24 segments. Each segment was called a specific ‘Solar Term’.
The element of Twenty-Four Solar Terms originated in the Yellow River reaches of China. The criteria for its formulation were developed through the observation of changes in seasons, astronomy, and other natural phenomena in this region and have been progressively applied nationwide.
It starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. The element has been transmitted from generation to generation and used traditionally as a timeframe to direct production and daily routines. It remains of particular importance to farmers for guiding their practices.
Having been integrated into the Gregorian calendar, it is used widely by communities and shared by many ethnic groups in China. Some rituals and festivities in China are closely associated with Solar Terms, for example, the First Frost Festival of the Zhuang People and the Ritual for the Beginning of Spring in Jiuhua.
These various functions of the element have enhanced its viability as a form of intangible cultural heritage and sustain its contribution to the community’s cultural identity.
