"Start of Winter Elder" (Right) and "Lesser Snow Warrior" (Left)
The "Start of Winter Elder" (Right) respectfully bows to all creatures as the autumn wind blows in, signaling the end of autumn and the arrival of winter. Crops are harvested and stored, and as winter begins, it is customary for people to strengthen their bodies through nourishment, symbolizing the restoration of vitality after a year of labor, weathering both heat and cold. The "Lesser Snow Warrior" (Left) gives orders as snow begins to fall lightly. Although the weather turns cold, it hasn't reached its peak, hence the name "Lesser Snow."
