Frost's Descent, or Shuangjiang in Chinese, is the 18th of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms, the last term of autumn, arriving this year on Thursday, October 23. This period heralds a sharp temperature drop and the season's first frost, signaling autumn's gentle fade into winter. In a time-honored tradition, Chinese people pause to admire the tranquil beauty of late autumn and the vibrant blooms of chrysanthemums. Many also enjoy persimmons, which fend off the encroaching chill.
