Solar term Frost Descent: Monday, October 23, 2017 13:25:52
Frost is one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. When this solar term comes, the weather gradually becomes colder and frost begins to appear. Frost's Descent usually falls on October 23rd of the Gregorian calendar every year. At this time, the first frost appeared in the Yellow River basin of China, and most areas were busy sowing crops such as wheat.
In ancient my country, Frost Descent was divided into three stages: "In the first stage, jackals sacrifice animals; in the second stage, grass and trees turn yellow and fall; in the third stage, stinging insects all lie down." During this solar term, jackals will display their captured prey before eating it.

What are the farming arrangements for Frost Descent?

During the Frost Descent season, most areas in the north have already finished the autumn harvest, and the frost-resistant onions can no longer grow. There is a folk saying that goes "If you don't grow onions after the Frost, the more they grow, the more empty they will become." In the south, it is the busy season of the "three autumns": single-season hybrid rice and late rice are being harvested; early wheat and early rapeseed are being planted; cotton is being picked, cotton stalks are being pulled out, and the land is being plowed and prepared. "Pull out all the straw on the ground to reduce insects and diseases next year." After the harvest, it is important to quickly remove the straw and root stubble from the fields, as many overwintering insect eggs and pathogens lurk there.
A folk proverb says, "Breed during Frost Descent and give milk during Qingming Festival, and give birth when grass comes up." Frost Descent is a good time to breed sheep in the Yellow River and Huai River basins. Because ewes usually go into estrus in autumn and winter, and the duration of mating with rams is mostly about 30 hours, which is consistent with the White Dew breeding in the south. When lambs are born, the weather is warm, the grass is fresh, and the ewes are well-nourished and have enough milk to feed the lambs well.
