What season is after the cold dew?

Autumn comes after the cold dew. Cold dew is the solar term in autumn, after which it is the first frost, but the first frost is the last solar term in autumn, after which it enters winter. Therefore, it is still autumn after the cold dew.

Cold dew means that the temperature is lower than that of the white dew, and the dew on the ground is colder and will soon condense into frost. Cold dew is the17th solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, which is the end of the full moon in the dry calendar and the beginning of the full moon. The time point is when the sun reaches the longitude 195 (within Virgo) on the 8th or 9th of October every year in the Gregorian calendar.
