? As for the northern nationalities, it is quite cold at this time. For example, there is a saying in Baotou that "light snow kills pigs and heavy snow kills sheep". When the snow season comes, it is the time to kill pigs and prepare for the new year's goods. At this time, no matter who slaughters livestock, relatives and friends will come to help, and the owner will prepare food, wine and side dishes for banquets. Therefore, the light snow and heavy snow seasons are the time for family relatives and friends to catch up and contact their feelings.
