Start of Winter marks all things at rest. The bustling world quiets at this moment, all things retreat and rejuvenate to prepare for the next season. As Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) poet Wang Zhideng wrote in Start of Winter: "The autumn wind has stripped branches bare; Among red leaves I lodge with care. A dim lamp and half-moon seen; Tonight feels colder than last night keen." Autumn fades, and winter's here to stay. May warmth be with you, night and day. #CulturalJourney #24SolarTerms
