1, heavy snow cured meat
There is a saying in old Nanjing, which is called "light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles". Every household is busy pickling "salty goods" as soon as the solar term of heavy snow arrives. Add star anise, cinnamon, pepper, white sugar, etc. to the salt and stir-fry until it is cooked. After the fried pepper salt is cooled thoroughly, apply it to fish, meat and poultry, and knead it repeatedly until the meat turns from fresh to dark.
When there is liquid oozing on the surface, put the meat and the remaining salt into the tank, press it with stones, put it in a cool and backlit place, and take it out after half a month. Put the marinated marinade into the pot and add water to boil, skim off the floating foam, put the dried poultry meat in the tank layer by layer, pour in the bittern, press on a big stone, take it out ten days later, and hang it under the eaves of Chaoyang to dry it to welcome the New Year.
2. Have a snowball fight
In the north, snowball fights are a common winter game. Children can throw snowballs at each other, make snowmen and other games to increase physical exercise and enhance teamwork.
3. Watch the river closure
"The land is sealed with light snow, and the river is sealed with heavy snow". In the north, there is a natural landscape of "thousands of miles of ice are frozen, and the snow is floating in Wan Li". In the south, there are also charming pictures of "snowflakes flying and silvery all over the sky".
When it comes to the heavy snow and solar terms, the weather is very cold, and all the water in the river is frozen, forming a thick layer of ice, and people can enjoy playing on the ice. Some young people can also enjoy their favorite outdoor activities, such as making a snowman, skating, skiing and so on.
4, tonic
Heavy snow is a good time for tonic, which is known as "tonic in winter, killing tigers in spring". Tonifying in winter can improve the immune function of human body, promote metabolism and improve the phenomenon of chills. Winter tonic can also regulate the metabolism of substances in the body, so that the energy transformed by nutrients can be stored in the body to the maximum extent, which is helpful to the rise of yang in the body.
As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no illness in the coming year." At this time, it is appropriate to warm the yang, tonify the kidney and strengthen the bones, nourish the yin and replenish the essence. In winter, dietary supplements should be provided with foods rich in protein, vitamins and easy to digest.
5. Sweep the snow
During the solar term of heavy snow, people will sweep snow and remove ice, and clean roads and courtyards for travel and activities. This custom can help people exercise and strengthen their physique.
