2026 Frost's Descent to Arrive!

About Frost's Descent
Frost's Descent, known as Shuangjiang in Chinese, is the eighteenth of China's 24 solar terms. It usually falls around October 23 each year, marking the transition from autumn to winter. Its name reflects falling temperatures and the formation of frost under suitable weather conditions. In ancient China, the 24 solar terms helped people understand seasonal changes and guide agricultural activities.
Traditional Customs During Frost's Descent
Eating persimmons and appreciating chrysanthemums are popular customs during this season. Persimmons symbolize sweetness and good fortune, while chrysanthemums represent resilience and the beauty of autumn. Some regions also observe traditions such as climbing hills and enjoying seasonal foods. As temperatures drop, people are encouraged to dress warmly, maintain a balanced diet, and adjust their daily routines to the changing weather.
While autumn gradually gives way to winter, the global semiconductor industry remains active. On October 19, Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced a KRW 360.5 billion agreement for semiconductor package substrates, highlighting continued demand for advanced packaging driven by AI and high-performance computing.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA planned investments in four German AI startups working in robotics, healthcare, audio technology, and aerospace. Tenstorrent also announced a $1.5 billion funding round, reaching a valuation of $6.2 billion. These developments reflect continued investment in AI computing, semiconductor technologies, and emerging applications.
As Frost's Descent brings cooler days, remember to dress warmly and enjoy the beauty of the season. May this autumn bring you good health, peace, and warmth, while continued technological innovation creates new opportunities for the future.
