Ode to the Twenty Four Qi Poems·Frost falls in mid September

Tang·Yuan Zhen

The wind is clear and the clouds are gone, and the sky is covered in frost for thousands of miles.

Wild jackals first offer sacrifices to the moon, while fairy chrysanthemums encounter the Double Ninth Sun.

Autumn colors are mournful and sparse, and the sound of the sun reminds me of my hometown.

Who knew that a bottle of wine could make a hundred autumns perish.

Frost's Descent，Also known as Yan Shuang, Shuang Dao, and Shuang Jian,The last solar term of autumn,It's day and night throughout the yearThe season with the largest temperature difference.During the season of frost, all things come to an end and enter the earth in the morning. The sun sets on the ground, the yin begins to condense, and the weather gradually turns cold with the onset of frost. The ancients once divided frost into three seasons: the first season is when jackals are sacrificed to animals, the second season is when plants and trees turn yellow, and the third season is when insects sting and salt are bent.

Traditional customs include eating persimmons, appreciating chrysanthemums, and nourishing food, with symbolic meaningsMoisturizing to prevent cold. In terms of agriculture, the northern region begins the autumn harvest and the southern region is busy with the "three autumns" (autumn harvest, autumn plowing, and autumn planting). Frost falling is the farewell of autumn and the prelude to winter.
