Clod Dew-Hán Lù

The cold dew is the seventeenth solar terms in the 24th solar terms of the lunar calendar. It belongs to the fifth solar term in the autumn, indicating the official end of the autumn season. The time is from October 7th to 9th of the Gregorian calendar. It is when the sun reaches the 195° of the Yellow River.
The temperature is gradually decreasing. The three solar terms, white dew, cold dew and frost, all indicate the condensation of water vapor, and the cold dew is the transition from cool to cold. At night, looking up at the stars, you will find that the stars change seasons, representing the "Great Mars" in the midsummer (the two stars of Scorpio) have sunk. We can vaguely hear the footsteps of winter.
Whenever I was a child, I would climb to the roof to pick the persimmons. The weather was very good and the air was fresh. I missed that time.
