The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms (節氣). Hánlù (pīnyīn) or Kanro (rōmaji) (Chinese and Japanese: 寒露; Korean: 한로; Vietnamese: Hàn lộ; literally: "cold dew") is the 17^th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 195° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 210°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 195°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around October 8 and ends around October 23.
