Frost Descent is one of the 24 solar terms. It occurs around October 23rd of the Gregorian calendar every year. It means that the weather is getting colder and the first frost appears. It is the last solar term in autumn and also means that winter is about to begin. During the Frost Descent season, health care is particularly important. There is a folk saying that goes, "It is better to take care of yourself during the Frost Descent than to take care of yourself all year round," which shows the impact of this solar term on people.

The Origin of the Frost Descent Solar Term

Around October 23rd of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 210 degrees of the ecliptic longitude, it is the Frost Descent, one of the 24 solar terms. 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.
"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says about Frost Descent: In the middle of September, the air becomes cold and condensed, and the dew turns into frost. "Frost Descent" means the weather is gradually getting colder and dew is condensing into frost. In ancient my country, Frost Descent was divided into three stages: the first stage was when jackals offered sacrifices to animals; the second stage was when grass and trees turned yellow and fell; the third stage was when stinging insects all lay down. The jackals begin to capture prey and sacrifice animals, using animals to offer sacrifice to heaven in return for their origins, and also to offer sacrifice to the autumn gold; the leaves on the ground turn yellow and fall; the stinging insects all stay in their holes, motionless and uneaten, with their heads down, entering hibernation.
