Frost Descent:According to legend, before the Qing Dynasty, there was a grand ceremony to withdraw troops at the Qifan Temple next to the martial arts hall in the training ground of Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, Jiangsu Province. According to ancient customs, the beginning of spring is the day to start fighting, and the frost is the day to call back the troops. So on the eve of the frost, the generals and military officers of the prefectures and counties would be fully armed, wearing armor, holding swords, spears, bows and arrows, and marching to the flag temple to hold a ceremony to call back the troops, in the hope of eliminating bad luck and bringing peace to the world. At five o'clock in the morning on the day of Frost's Descent, military officers would gather in the temple and perform the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows to the king. After the ceremony, the soldiers lined up and fired three blank shots, and then tested the artillery and guns. This was called "Da Shuang Jiang" and the people gathered to watch. 2. Eat persimmons: Frost Descent is the last solar term in autumn. At this time, there is a custom of eating persimmons in many areas in the south. As the saying goes, "Eating persimmons during the Frost's Descent will prevent a runny nose." People believe that eating persimmons during the Frost's Descent will prevent colds and runny noses in the winter. The Frost Descent season is when persimmons are ripe. In some places in my country, there is a custom of eating persimmons during the Frost Descent season. The weather is turning cold at this time, and people believe that eating persimmons can not only keep warm, but also nourish the muscles and bones, making them very suitable for consumption during the Frost Descent season. 3. Send taro ghost: Frost Descent is the last solar term in autumn, and people attach great importance to it. There are customs such as exorcising evil spirits and sweeping tombs in different places to pray for good weather, a happy and healthy life. In Gaoming area of Guangdong, there is a custom of "sending away the taro ghost" before the Frost Descent. During the Frost Descent season, people would pile up tiles to form the Pagoda of Hanoi, put dry firewood inside the tower and light it. The stronger the fire burned, the better, until the tiles were red hot. Then they would push down the Pagoda of Hanoi and use the red-hot tiles to heat taro, which is locally called "beating the taro pot". Finally, they would throw the tiles out of the village, which was called "sending away the taro ghost". In this way, people ward off evil and welcome good fortune.
