霜降是二十四骨气的第十八个骨气，，也是秋季最后一个骨气，，这意味着寒冷的冬天日渐邻近。。今年的霜降始于10月23日。。

霜降是每年秋后农业收成的一大骨气。。江苏南部有“霜降到，，无老小”的说法，，意即此时田里的庄稼不论成熟与否，，一齐都可收割了。。

前报答了适应秋天的严格肃杀，，常在这个月操练战阵，，进行围猎。。自从汉代以来就在季秋之月讲习武事，，操演比试射技，，以进行赏罚，，已因循成为通例。。

霜叶红于仲春花。。霜降过后，，枫树、、、黄栌树灯树木在秋霜的安抚下起头漫山遍野地造成红黄色，，如火似锦，，极度壮观。。

霜降季节正是菊花盛开之际，，前人试试进行菊花会，，以表白对菊花的喜欢和崇拜。。在霜降前采集百盆名品菊花，，搭配好酒佳肴，，按长幼秩序鞠躬作揖拜菊花神，，而后饮酒赏菊，，赋诗泼墨。。

民间有“补冬不如补霜降”的说法，，以为秋补比冬补更重要。。霜降季节，，气象越发寒冷，，多处有饮用羊肉汤的风俗。。

霜降季节正是柿子成熟之时，，在我国好多处所都有霜降季节吃柿子的风俗。。此时气象转寒，，人们以为吃柿子不仅能够防寒保暖，，并且还能补筋骨。。

Frost’s Descent

The arrival of frost’s descent signals a time for agricultural harvest. In southern Jiangsu province, and old saying has been calling for harvest of all crops upon frost’s descent, whether or not they are ripe.

People in ancient China regarded frost’s descent a suitable time for military trainings. Archery competitions have been held during frost’s descent throughout China since the Han Dynasty (206 BC – AD 220)

A saying in China goes: “Frost-bitten leaves are more crimson than blooms in spring.” Leaves of maples and smoke trees begin to darken after frost’s descent, offering magnificent views on mountains.

A folk saying goes:” it is better to nourish the body during frost’s descent than in winter.” Many places in China have the habit of drinking lamb soup as the weather gets colder.

Eating persimmons during frost’s descent is a folk habit in many parts of China. People believe that eating persimmons can drive away the“ coldness” in the body.（书法+中英文  ASP公司 程成）
