The 24 solar terms in Nishan | Beginning of Winter.

|Beginning of winter. When thick frost dyes the red leaves all over the mountains, the pale golden ginkgo trees shine in the morning light. While we are still marveling at the magnificence of late autumn, winter has already arrived. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Solar Terms in the Lunar Calendar" states: "The Beginning of Winter is the October festival. The explanation of the word "Begin" is as mentioned above. Winter means the end, when all things are stored." The Beginning of Winter is the first solar term in winter, which means the beginning of winter. Winter comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores, and we encounter an early winter in the holy land of Mount Ni. When leaves fall, we know autumn is coming; when frost falls, we know cold is coming. Climbing up Tianming Avenue, the golden ginkgo leaves are like gold scattered by nature, sparkling with an intoxicating halo. The golden ginkgo leaves fluttered down like butterflies, covering the Jinshengyuzhen Square with a golden carpet. The contrast with the tall and majestic statue of Confucius outlined a poetic picture of Nishan in early winter. The tranquil forests, rolling red leaves, and the peaceful scenery of late autumn and early winter are vividly displayed on the mountain trails in the sacred land of Nishan. The sun pours down on the mountains and forests. The blue sky and the bright red maple leaves interweave, making people mistakenly think they are in a painter's painting. Warm golden beams of light jump among the red leaves, and a realistic and vivid oil painting appears before your eyes. "The reeds are lush and green, and the white dew turns to frost." The swaying reeds on the Fuzi Long Embankment seem to have a gentleness bestowed by time. They bloom in clusters and seem to be floating in the air, as if you are in a poetic dream. There are dark green mountains in the distance and sparkling Holy Water Lake nearby. They are intertwined with each other, giving you a sense of peace and comfort in the nature away from the hustle and bustle. Take a break from your busy schedule and invite a few good friends to brew a pot of tea at Nishan Academy Hotel. Watch the steam rising from the quaint teapot on the tea stove, like fairy mist. On the baking tray, peanuts, red dates, chestnuts and other snacks emit an enticing aroma. They are gifts from nature and a sweet embellishment to the time spent around the fire in winter. Autumn seals up romance, the breeze stirs the fallen leaves, and a new warm winter is brewing. The beauty of nature and the charm of culture are intertwined in the sacred land of Nishan. Come and embark on a poetic winter journey that belongs to you.
