“Great is the abundance, and thus the Snow reaches its peak.”
Today marks the third solar term of winter – Heavy Snow.
Heavy Snow has officially arrived.
The pages on the calendar are dwindling down.
A sharp chill always greets you at dawn.
Opening the window reveals a bleak and desolate landscape.
Hot water is being heated on the stove.
Draw the warmest future imaginable on the windowpane.
This is the ritual of Heavy Snow in winter.
During the “Heavy Snow” season in the north,
snow and tea whisper to each other.
You come quietly with a pot of hot tea.
Wear a cotton jacket and have a snowball fight.
Step into the snow and listen to the crunching sounds.
When tired, retreat indoors.
The fire crackles and pops.
Heavy Snow is silent.
The stories buried by the snow melt away in the warmth of tea.
A snowfall, a Cup of tea.
You are in the heavy snow of a cold northern night.
I am basking in the warmth under the bright southern sun.
Brew a good pot of tea and enjoy the warmth of winter.
After enjoying the sun during the day, the night brings a chill.
At this moment, listen to the bubbling water.
Inhale the lingering fragrance of tea. How pleasant!
Forget your worries, take some time for yourself.
Say goodbye to the past and wave hello to the future.
That frame of picture gradually becomes peaceful.
It is filled with a sense of happiness and contentment.
Just like the faint mist rising from clear tea.
On the day of “Heavy Snow,” avoid staying indoors without breaking a sweat.
People dress warmly, stay in cozy places, and move less.
However, not sweating for long periods can affect health.
Go outside, and you will find.
Eaves dripping with strings of cured meat.
The streets and alleys are full of the flavors of winter.
On the day of “Heavy Snow,” avoid excessive nutrition without proper adjustment.
“Nourish in winter, and you'll be strong enough to fight tigers in spring.”
This is indeed a good time for nourishment.
However, attention should be paid to high-calorie diets.
It can easily lead to overheating.
Therefore, maintain a regular routine, drink good tea,
and spend time with interesting people.
This is the way to nurture health.
Store worries for winter, savor the joy of the year's end.
All things turn white alongside the city.
The earth patiently waits for spring's rendezvous.
In the smoky, homely aroma of tea,
slow-cook the years, wait quietly for the flowers to bloom on the road ahead.
