1. October 神無月 (march@marchgenso.me)'s status on Tuesday, 15-Oct-2019 17:56:37 JST October 神無月
   The east Asian lunisolar calendar divides one year into 24 parts (sekki), with each of those parts having 3 further divisions (pentad), dividing a year into a total of 72 parts.
   
   I like the connection of the names of the division to nature. Each sekki roughly describes the 15 days it intervals, and each pentad is a short literary description of the period it spans.
   
   処暑([i]chǔshǔ[/i]) - end of heat, 23 - 24 August. This is around beginning of autumn.
   Its third pentad in japanese and chinese means "Grains become ripe for harvest"
