Shuimoxiansheng.com will help you understand the auspicious and inauspicious days in September of the lunar calendar in 2020.What day does Frost’s Descent fall on?Around October 23rd of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 210 degrees of the ecliptic longitude, it is the Frost Descent, one of the 24 solar terms.Frost Descent is the last solar term in autumn and the transitional solar term from autumn to winter. In late autumn, the ground dissipates a lot of heat and the temperature suddenly drops below 0 degrees. The water vapor in the air directly condenses on the ground or on plants to form tiny ice needles. Some become hexagonal frost flowers, which are white in color and have a loose structure. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says about Frost Descent: In the middle of September, the air becomes cold and condensed, and the dew turns into frost. "Frost Descent" means the weather is gradually getting colder and dew is condensing into frost. In ancient my country, Frost Descent was divided into three stages: the first stage was when jackals offered sacrifices as sacrifices; the second stage was when the grass and trees turned yellow and fell; the third stage was when all stinging insects lay down. The jackals begin to capture prey and sacrifice animals, using animals to offer sacrifice to heaven in return for their origins, and also to offer sacrifice to the autumn gold; the leaves on the ground turn yellow and fall; the stinging insects all stay in their holes, motionless and uneaten, with their heads down, entering hibernation. Frost Descent 2020: Friday, October 23, 2020 (September 7th of the Gengzi Year (Year of the Rat), 29 days away from Frost Descent 2020) What traditional food should we eat during Frost Descent?Eating beef during the Frost Descent <br /> In many places in mainland China, there is a custom of eating beef during the Frost Descent.For example, in Yulin, Guangxi, residents are accustomed to eating beef noodle soup for breakfast and beef fried with radish or beef brisket stew for lunch or dinner on the day of Frost's Descent to replenish energy and pray for warmth and strength in the winter. In addition to beef, mutton and rabbit meat are also suitable for Frost Descent. Eat persimmons during the Frost Descent <br /> In some places in China, people eat red persimmons during the Frost Descent. In the eyes of local people, this not only keeps people warm, but also helps to strengthen the bones and muscles. It is a very good food for the Frost Descent. The old people in Quanzhou say that eating persimmons during the Frost's Descent will prevent a runny nose. In some places, the explanation for this custom is: you must eat persimmons on the day of Frost's Descent, otherwise your lips will be chapped throughout the winter. At this time, people living in the countryside would climb up the tall persimmon trees and pick a few shiny, sweet persimmons to eat. Eat white pomelo during the Frost Descent <br /> During the Frost Descent, the second-stage rice in southern Taiwan has matured and is ready for harvest. It is also the harvest season for white pomelo in Madou Township, Tainan. The large white pomelo, known as the "king of pomelo", is more highly regarded than pomelo, hence the saying "experts eat white pomelo and laymen eat pomelo". The best quality white pomelo tastes sour with a hint of sweetness, and tastes even better if dipped in plum powder. Because the fruit is sweet and juicy, it can be eaten by patients with hot coughs and diabetes. It also has the effects of sobering up, lowering blood pressure, reducing fever, and restoring physical strength. Eat radish during Frost Descent <br /> A Shandong folk proverb says: "During the Beginning of Heat, sorghum grows; during the White Dew, valley grows; during the Frost Descent, radishes are picked." During this season, radishes that have been frozen by frost are the most delicious, and radishes in October are also known as small ginseng. There is a folk proverb that goes, "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you won't need a doctor to prescribe medicine." This saying not only explains that radish is a seasonal vegetable in winter, but also reveals its therapeutic effects. In cold and dry weather, eating radish can not only replenish water for the human body, but also promote appetite and aid digestion. It can improve diseases such as stomach bloating, cough with sputum, chest tightness and asthma, and colds. Eating duck meat on the day of Frost Descent <br /> People in southern Fujian and Taiwan eat tonic food on the day of Frost Descent, which is what we in the north often call "putting on weight in autumn". There is a proverb in southern Fujian that goes, "It is better to make up for it during the Frost Descent than to make up for it all year round." These small proverbs fully express the importance that the people of Fujian and Taiwan attach to the Frost Descent solar term. Therefore, every Frost Descent season, ducks in Fujian and Taiwan will sell like hot cakes, and sometimes they will be out of stock and in short supply. The duck sellers were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Quail Fighting during the Frost DescentQuail fighting after the Descent of Frost is very popular in both the north and the south."Beijing Suihuaji" says that people in the north fight quails after the frost falls. They hold the quails in their sleeves as if they were holding treasures. In the south, quail fighting is mostly done at night to decide the winner. The sophisticated people use colorful threads to make flat-bottomed bags and use leather gloves to hold quails in their sleeves as a pastime. Cai Tieweng of the Qing Dynasty wrote in a poem: "Toil in the frosty sky, fighting against the thin crane."
