Today (October 23) ushered in the Frost Descent solar term. Frost Descent is the eighteenth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the last solar term in autumn.
Traditionally, frost fall is the beginning of the frost period of the year, and it is also the transition from autumn to winter. In the north, after the cold air, the sky is still high and the clouds are clear. In the south, the comfortable season of autumn is coming after the frost.
Frost is the last season for harvesting and sowing. A farmer proverb says, "Frost is seen when it falls, and rice and grain are full of the warehouse." The cabbage in North China is about to be harvested; the Yangtze River basin is the golden season for winter wheat sowing; most parts of the south of the Yangtze River are orange-yellow and orange-green, and the fruits and melons are fragrant. During the Frost Descent Season, persimmons were launched in Guangxi, Shaanxi, Hebei and other places, further driving the consumption boom. The unique eating habits in various places have also given birth to new ways to eat persimmons, such as baking in charcoal fire, adding shaved ice, and making cakes.
During the frost season, in addition to keeping warm and strengthening exercise in daily life, you can eat more foods that promote fluid and moisten dryness, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and resist cold air, such as pears, apples, lily , lotus seeds, radish , etc.
