The Minor Snow (xiao xue) arrives, marking the second solar term in winter. Are you waiting for the first snowfall of the season?
Just as depicted in this artwork Crossing a Snow Bridge on a Donkey by Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) artist Wen Zhengming (1470-1559), now in the collection of the Nanjing Museum, the quiet beauty of early winter is captured with incredible subtlety. The crispness of the winter air seems to seep out of the scene.
