🍂🍶🦀️ Today marks Li Qiu (立秋), or the Start of Autumn, in China’s 24 #solarterms. It is a major solar term for farmers, as it signifies the time to harvest crops. As the saying goes, “If it rains on the Start of Autumn, a good harvest is expected.”
In the traditional Chinese solar calendar, Grain Buds (Xiaoman) marks the moment when grains begin to form — not yet ripe, but full of promise.
Like the fields of early summer, growth takes time.
Let us celebrate every step forward, stay patient, and trust the process.
Dreams, like grains, grow gradually — and they will ripen in time.
