  The 24 solar terms, consisting of 12 major solar terms and 12 minor solar terms, were created thousands of years ago by the ancient Chinese to guide agricultural production.

  Today, the culture behind the terms provides useful guidance to people's lives as each term features special food, cultural ceremonies and healthy living tips.

  Greater Snow, or "Da Xue" in Chinese, is the 21st solar terms on the traditional Chinese calender. It marks the beginning of mid winter, meaning the coldest days for most of China. Around this time of the year, northern China usually experiences a drastic drop in temperature. People have the chance to enjoy charming landscapes of heavy snow and the fun of winter sports.

  Feel the vitality and passion of outdoor exercising together with Xinhua images!
