霜降Frost’s Descent

“山明水净夜来霜，数树深红出浅黄”，霜降是二十四节气的第18个节气，天气渐寒始于霜降，作为秋季的最后一个节气，意味着初冬即将开始。

Frost's Descent is the 18th solar term of the 24 solar terms. As the last solar term of autumn, Frost's descent is the beginning of early winter.

霜降有三候

元代文人吴澄在《月令七十二候集解》中，将霜降分为三候：一候豺乃祭兽，二候草木黄落，三候蛰虫咸俯。霜降时节，豺狼开始大量捕获猎物，准备储藏过冬；秋风一阵紧似一阵，最后一片黄叶也随着大自然的一生叹息悄然落下，无声地归于尘土，实现了它落叶归根的宿命；昆虫在自己精心打造的洞穴里，犹如睡着了一般，耷拉着脑袋不食不动，以最舒适的姿势，安然进入冬眠状态，耐心等待下一个春天的到来。

Wu Cheng, a scholar in Yuan Dynasty, divided Frost's descent into three seasons in his collection of the seventy-two seasons of the Lunar Season: the first is a jackal offering sacrifice to the beast, the second is a yellow fall of grass and trees, and the third is a stinging insect. When the frost comes, the jackals begin to hunt down their prey in large quantities and store it for the winter. Autumn wind a tight like a burst, the last yellow leaf also with nature's life sigh quietly fell, silently returned to the dust, to achieve its fate of falling leaves to the root; Insects in their carefully built caves, as if asleep, droop their heads do not eat and do not move, in the most comfortable position, safely into the hibernation state, patiently waiting for the arrival of the next spring.

In Guangdong Gaoming area, there is a custom of "sending taro ghost" during Frost's descent.
