On Frost's Descent, autumn is deep.
Dew congeals into frost with the cold, hence the solar term "Frost's Descent". Vitality of nature gradually fades, and ginkgo leaves flutter like golden butterflies.
Tang Dynasty (618-907) poet Zhang Ji wrote in Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night: "The crows at moonset cry, streaking the frosty sky; Facing dim fishing boats neath maples, sad I lie."
May life, like frost-kissed maple, remain serene, and warm as the sun under the eaves.
