There are many snowstorms during the cold period. The earliest record is that hail killed many cattle and sheep, and even the river froze. Later, a strange snowstorm happened in the Han Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty met a wild animal called Kirin. But it snowed heavily that year and killed many people. Moreover, the heavy snow that year was said to be as thick as five feet, and March in the solar calendar was April. In fact, the rivers in the Central Plains were covered with a thick layer of ice and snowed heavily, causing people to have no food and even start eating people.
This happened in the Qin Dynasty. There is a man named Qin Zaogong. It was agitation that coined the word. I still don't understand what he did to get such a posthumous title. You know, Qi Xianggong who committed adultery with her sister doesn't even have this title. But it was because of the snow in June that he was given such a title in office?
Besides him, King Zhou Weilie also had heavy snow in Shanxi at that time, which was more than two thousand years ago. This is much heavier than the snow I have ever seen. Moreover, there is April snow in the south, which happened in Jiangsu during the Three Kingdoms period. It rained heavily at first, but it snowed the next day, which was May in the solar calendar. This is rare, because it doesn't snow in winter in the south.
