Word of the day
Visiting the sick 探病
Calling on a friend or relative who is ill or in hospital.
Solar term
Frost's Descent
Shuangjiang, or Frost's Descent, is autumn's last solar term; the weather grows colder and dew turns to frost. Leaves yellow and maples turn red, a season for maple-viewing and persimmons. A saying goes: eat a persimmon now and keep the sniffles away in winter.
Custom: Eat persimmons and admire the red maple leaves.
