Frost's Descent, 霜降 [Shuāngjiàng], is the 18th of #The24SolarTerms, on #UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage. It's also the last solar term of autumn (Oct 23/Nov 6), during which weather becomes cold & frost begins to appear.
Sweet&sour, these juicy loquats are ideal appetizers, refreshing your throat and your stomach.😋#DYK that eating loquats is typical on 'Xiaoman' (lesser fullness), the 8th of Chinese 24 #SolARTerms, which arrives today this year.🗓️
