Which solar term is Frost Descent among the 24 solar terms?

Frost Descent is the eighteenth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms. The weather starts to get colder with the Frost Descent, which is the last solar term in autumn. It reflects the change in temperature and is the transition from autumn to winter, which means winter is coming. When the Big Dipper points to Xu, it is the Frost Descent solar term when the sun reaches 210 degrees of the ecliptic longitude. The ancient book “Explanation of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms” says: “When the air becomes cold, frost falls, and 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, and does not mean that "frost falls" during this solar term. There is no concept of "Frost Descent" in meteorology.

The Origin of the Frost Descent Solar Term

"Yi Zhou Shu. Zhou Yue" states: "The middle weather in the third month of autumn: End of Heat, Autumnal Equinox, and Frost Descent." "Guoyu. Zhou Yuzhong" states: "Fire appears and breeze arrives, so beware of cold." Annotation by Wei Zhao of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period: "It means that after Frost Descent, breeze arrives first, so people are warned to prepare for the cold." "Collected Explanations of the 72 Solar Terms in the Lunar Calendar" states: "In the middle of September, the air becomes cold and condensed, and dew turns into frost." At this time, the first frost appeared in the Yellow River basin of China, and most areas were busy sowing crops such as wheat. Frost means the weather is getting colder and the dew condenses into frost. Frost Descent is the last solar term in autumn and the transitional solar term from autumn to winter. In late autumn, the ground dissipates a lot of heat and the temperature suddenly drops below 0 degrees. The water vapor in the air directly condenses on the ground or on plants to form tiny ice needles. Some become hexagonal frost flowers, which are white in color and have a loose structure.
