The Chinese Traditional 24 Solar Terms-------Frost's Descent!

Today, we welcome Frost's Descent, one of the traditional twenty-four solar terms in China. On October 23, 2024, Tuesday, the arrival of Frost's Descent marks that autumn is coming to an end and the footsteps of winter are approaching.

From a meteorological perspective, Frost's Descent is an important turning point. With the frequent southward movement of cold air, the temperature drops suddenly and the temperature difference between day and night further increases. In the early morning, there is often a thin layer of white frost covering the grass and leaves, like silver powder scattered by nature, shining with crystal-clear light under the sunlight. This unique natural phenomenon has also brought some changes to people's lives. Everyone has put on thick autumn clothes and begun to prepare for the upcoming cold winter.

In some regions of our country, there are unique customs during Frost's Descent. For example, eating persimmons is one of the traditional customs of Frost's Descent. There is a folk saying that "eating persimmons during Frost's Descent will prevent a runny nose." Persimmons ripen during this season, and the bright red fruits hang all over the branches. Not only do they have a sweet taste, but they also have certain nutritional value. In addition, climbing high and looking into the distance is also a beloved activity during Frost's Descent. Climbing to the top of a mountain and overlooking the earth, the distant mountains look extraordinarily magnificent against the backdrop of autumn frost, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Frost's Descent also has important significance for agricultural production. At this time, most crops have been harvested, but some cold-resistant vegetables and fruits are still growing tenaciously. In the vegetable fields, vegetables such as cabbages and radishes become more tender and delicious under the nourishment of frost. Fruit growers are also seizing the time to carry out final management of fruit trees to lay a solid foundation for a bumper harvest next year. At the same time, Frost's Descent is also a signal to remind people to make good winter reserves. People begin to store grain, pickle pickles, etc., and prepare for the long winter.
