Can you read? “The first frost of the earth” When you find a pillar of frost in the morning... the day you experience the arrival of winter











 

 

 

 





The season when the ground begins to freeze due to the full-fledged winter cold is ``early freezing''.
Mornings and evenings are getting even colder, with pillars of frost appearing on the ground and ice forming on the water surface. If you imagine such a scene, it will be easy to imagine the word ``early freezing''. It is also called Jishifang in the Chinese lunar-solar calendar, the Xuanming calendar, which is the basis of the Chinese lunisolar calendar.
