sc#2552-53 .
Rime, also called "snow willow", "tree hanging", "ice flowers", "water vaporized flowers", "silver flowers", is a kind of phenomenon, in which winter fog condenses on the branches and leaves of trees to form separate, white ice crystals, according to metrology.
Rime has a history of 1,500 years, according to the written record. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Song Luchen said in "Zi Lin" that balls formed by ice in the freezing night disappeared after the sun rises, and this was called as "rime" by people in the Qi and Lu states. Zeng Gong, a writer in the Song Dynasty described the feature of the rime in his poem "Dong Ye Ji Shi Shi" (making a poem at a winter night scene bringing back memories), that there was no wind in the garden in the early day and rime flowers bloomed on every tree simultaneously.
