Frost's Descent is the last solar term of autumn in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, falling around October 23 each year. The temperature drops sharply, water vapour condenses into hoar frost. Plants wither, autumn scenery fades away, and winter is on its way.
Frost falls, autumn fades; cold comes, winter awaits. When Frost’s Descent arrives, thin frost covers the branches, and ripe persimmons hang heavy, holding the last romance of late autumn. Plants fade their bright colours, and the breeze turns chilly. Autumn is drawing to a close while winter quietly unfolds. May warmth stay with you on cool days, and sweet persimmons comfort your heart. Embrace the peace of late autumn and wait gently for the warmth of winter.
