The Last Solar Term in Autumn: shuānɡ jiànɡ (霜降)

Wednesday, November 23, 2022


Frost's Descent is the last solar term of autumn, during which time the weather becomes much colder than before and frost begins to appear. We often use one word to describe the weather during this solar term: 秋高气爽(qiū ɡāo qì shuǎnɡ )=a crisp and refreshing autumn day.
