Actually, the five days allocated to this phrase is about to end. It apparently means even under the snow pile, the wheat begins to sprout.

実は、その割り当てられた５日間ももう終わりに近いのですが、この時期の七十二候の名称です。雪の下で麦がひっそりと芽を出すといった意味のようです。

I have always firmly believed that the phrase, “snow, moon, flower”, representing the three beautiful things in nature that I wrote the other day was Japanese origin, however, I found out it was actually a part of a poem by Bai Juyi, a Chinese poet in old times.

先日書きました雪月花は、自然界の美しいものを三つ選んだ日本の言葉だと思っていました。けれども実際には、白居易の詩の一部でした。

I found a little uncommon-shaped frame. Then I thought I would choose something beautiful to write. Simply put, these three things, “snow, moon, flower” are typical “beautiful things in nature”.

It was really cold last night. This morning I found it snowed a little during the night. The letter is “glob”.

Looking at the pretty heavy snowfall today, I thought I would write a Chinese poem on snow. I searched and found this one. It roughly depicts “Although heavy snowfall pressurizes green pine trees, they keep standing straight. We should learn and follow their examples and patiently wait for the time of melting snow.” Nevertheless, it is certainly cold and my fingers feel so cold.
The photos don’t show pine trees. The pine tree I remember now is the one that used to be in the garden of my mother’s parents’ house that my grandpa was really proud of.

雪がたくさん積もりましたので、そんな漢詩を探しました。「雪が青い松を圧しているようだが、松はそのままに真っ直ぐ。その高潔さを見習って雪解けの時を待つべきだ」とのこと。でも、実際寒いし、指先が冷たいのです。
写真には松の木は写っていません。今思い出すのは、母の実家にあった大きな松の木で、祖父が大事にしていたものです。

The seasonal wording for the first five days of the year is this, “wheat start to sprout under the snow”. It was really cold around the turn of the year and from time to time, little snow flew. However, plant lives may be preparing for the spring season.

年の初めの５日間ほどの期間の七十二候の名称です。この年末年始はとても寒くて、ときに雪もちらほら見かけました。でも、植物は春の到来のための準備などしているのでしょうか。

It is another cold day today. Although it is not snowing right now, on a day like this, I often think of this cute little children’s song that I have always loved.

A story has been passed down that goes the residents in the old capital of Japan got very excited at even a little amount of snowfall because the area has relatively little snowfall for the very low temperature in winter. I don’t enjoy a gracious living like a person of noble birth, still, I get very happy when it snows.

その昔、京の都は気温が低くなる割には雪が少ないので、少しでも雪が舞うと都人たちは大喜びしたと伝えられています。私は優雅な生活をしている都人ではありませんが、少しの雪でも嬉しいです。
