As Friday marks this year's "Major Snow" solar term, farmers are busy preparing their fields for plummeting temperatures. Major Snow is the 21st solar term based on the Chinese lunar calendar. During this solar term, snowfall is expected to increase with temperatures expected to drop significantly. It's also considered a reminder for people to preserve winter meat and prevent illness.
