Frost's Descent, which falls on October 24 this year, is the 18th solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar. As the name suggests, it marks the time when the temperature drops significantly, and frost begins to appear in many regions of China.


In Chinese culture, Frost's Descent is associated with the importance of staying warm and healthy. People begin to wear thicker clothing and consume warming foods like ginger and hot soups to protect themselves from the cold. Traditional Chinese medicine also emphasizes the need to nourish the body during this time to maintain good health.


During this time, the landscape undergoes a breathtaking transformation. The once lush green foliage of trees gives way to different colors, as leaves turn into vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold. The gentle touch of frost delicately adorns the leaves, creating a mesmerizing sight.
