Twenty-four solar terms-the first frost (65438+1October 23rd or 24th).

? The first frost is the last solar term in autumn, and frost begins to appear. Farmers will cover their crops with a thick layer of straw to prevent frost.

The first frost is three seasons

Hou: The jackal is a sacrificial animal.

? The jackal sets the prey before eating it, as if it were a sacrifice.

? Second: the vegetation turns yellow.

? With the autumn wind, the temperature drops gradually, and yellow leaves fall to the ground one by one.

Sanhou: Sting insects are salty.

Before the earth froze, all the thorns were underground.

Some places in the first frost have the custom of eating persimmons on this day.

Taro delivery ghost

In the first frost season, people in some places will hold a lively "send taro ghosts" activity to avoid bad luck.

Winter clothing festival

Cold clothing festival is in the first frost season. According to legend, in the Qin Dynasty, Meng Jiangnv's husband was taken to build the Great Wall. When Meng Jiangnv sent her husband's warm clothes to the foot of the Great Wall, she realized that her husband was dead and buried in the Great Wall.

Meng Jiangnv is very sad. She cried in the Great Wall day and night, and finally moved the world, crying down the Great Wall and seeing her husband's bones. Later, people called the first day of the tenth lunar month "Cold Clothes Festival" and paid tribute to their deceased relatives on this day.
