What are the characteristics of the Frost Descent solar term?

"Explanation of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms" says: "When the air is cold and frost falls, the yin begins to condense." It can be seen that "frost falls" means that the weather is gradually getting colder and the yin energy begins to condense. After the Frost Descent solar term, cold air often invades, causing the temperature to drop sharply and the temperature difference between day and night to change greatly. "Frost Descent" reflects the change in temperature, not that frost falls during this solar term. In the early mornings of cold seasons, the grass leaves and soil are often covered with a layer of frost crystals. Frost is a type of white ice crystals that mostly forms at night. In rare cases, they can begin to form before sunset when the sun is low in the sky. Usually, the frost melts soon after sunrise. However, in extremely cold weather or in shady places, the frost can remain all day long.

What does it mean to eat duck during the Frost Descent?

People in southern Fujian and Taiwan eat tonic food on the day of Frost's Descent, which is what we in the north often call "putting on weight in autumn." There is a proverb in southern Fujian that goes, "It is better to make up for it during the Frost Descent than to make up for it all year round." These small proverbs fully express the importance that the people of Fujian and Taiwan attach to the Frost Descent solar term. In the Fujian and Taiwan regions, they believe that duck is a suitable tonic food for autumn. Therefore, in late autumn, especially during the Frost Descent season, ducks will sell very well, and may even be sold out. Many shops selling ducks will also write the words "Frost is coming" on their advertisements to remind people to buy ducks.
