Traditionally an early snow season is usually regarded as a sign for great harvests and a prosperous year to come, thus it is also named the auspicious snow. Children are particularly fond of playing snowball fight, which is also known as the "Game of the First Snow". It is not quite a game of throwing snowballs at each other as one might imagine, but a game somewhat resembles hide-and-seek.

In preparation participants will write on a piece of paper short poems about the snow, and then they will define special conditions of the game, the number of players and the punishments for losers. One person is hence selected to be the hider, who has to hide that piece of paper somewhere in the house and then have himself or herself out of sight of others. Not until the hider shouts "It's hidden!" others start searching the piece of paper and catching the run-away hider. In the end if the hider doesn't manage to escape, he or she will have to accept the usually rather harsh but funny punishments. For example the hider may be asked to walk in the public wearing his or her overcoat in-side-out with a black face covered by mud. However if others are unable to find the piece of paper or catch the hider, the hider takes the opportunity to execute the predefined punishments.
