A cold front has recently swept across China, driving out the lingering mildness of the previous season while kicking off the second solar term of the winter.

The Xiaoxue, or Minor Snow in English, started on Wednesday, in the wake of a new round of temperature plummeting from seven to 20 degrees Celsius.

It is the 20th of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar, which usually refers to the period of time from November 22 to December 7. During this time, the northwest wind usually frequents the Chinese territory, with the temperature of many areas falling below zero. (Photo/CGTN)
