Definition
大雪纷飞 is a four-character idiom (成语) that vividly describes heavy snowfall, with snowflakes falling thick and fast. It is often used in literary or descriptive contexts to paint a scene of a snowstorm or heavy winter weather. The phrase literally means 'big snow flurries flying,' but its idiomatic use is to emphasize the intensity and density of the snowfall.
