2025 Frost's Descent to Arrive!

Today marks Frost's Descent, as the last solar term of autumn quietly arrives. The morning sunlight filters through the crisp air, casting a warm glow upon the brilliantly red persimmons hanging from branches, adding a touch of warmth to the deep autumn scene.

Frost's Descent is the eighteenth solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar and the final one of autumn, signaling the gradual departure of autumn and the impending arrival of winter. The name "Frost's Descent" does not refer to falling snow or frost but rather signifies the cooling weather and the condensation of dew into frost.

During Frost's Descent, traditional folk customs embody profound wisdom for health preservation. Eating persimmons is a common practice in both northern and southern regions, with a saying in the south that goes, "Eating persimmons during Frost's Descent prevents runny noses." Persimmons, with their warm nature, have the effect of moisturizing the lungs and promoting saliva production, making them well-suited to combat autumn dryness. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, admiring chrysanthemums has been an essential elegant activity during Frost's Descent. The ninth lunar month is also known as the "Month of Chrysanthemums," as it is the time when these flowers bloom in full splendor. People climb heights to enjoy the chrysanthemums, embracing the tranquility and beauty of autumn.

Against this backdrop of seasonal transition, the global semiconductor industry is bustling with activity. Recently, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang visited TSMC's facility in Arizona, USA, to celebrate the completion of the first Blackwell wafer produced on American soil. Even more notably, TSMC plans to accelerate the technological upgrade of its Arizona plant to 2-nanometer and more advanced process technologies. This acceleration means that the 2-nanometer process at the U.S. facility could be operational as early as 2027, ahead of the originally planned 2028. Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics is not far behind, with plans to unveil its 12-layer HBM4 memory chips at its annual technology exhibition from October 27 to 31.

As the chill deepens during Frost's Descent, remember to dress warmly and take extra care to protect your neck, shoulders, and joints. May you stay healthy and cozy during this transition from autumn to winter.
