How to use Beginning of Autumn in MingSez
A solar term is not a prediction. It is a timing lens. In MingSez, Beginning of Autumn helps users notice whether the season is asking for beginning, softening, activation, balance, refinement, storage, or return. That seasonal lens can then connect to Daily Ming and the public Almanac reading for a selected date.
MingSez use
