How to use Frost Descent in MingSez
A solar term is not a prediction. It is a timing lens. In MingSez, Frost Descent 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.
