Farmers across China are busy harvesting their crops during Major Snow - the 21st solar term of the year. There are 24 solar terms every year on the traditional Chinese calendar, which farmers use as a timeframe to direct food production and schedule their daily routines. It remains an essential tool for farmers to plan their year. During Major Snow, temperatures drop sharply, and the snow becomes heavy in many areas of northern China. Farmers are directing their efforts to ensure food supply during the winter months.
