Qiufen
The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms. Qiūfēn, Shūbun, Chubun, or Thu phân is the 16th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 180° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 195°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 180°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around September 23 and ends around October 8.

gollark: Forth written oddly.
gollark: Also, gibsonoform, was entry #15 *you*?
gollark: Does that fix the thing where you can just use nonexistent variables and it treats them as the empty string?
gollark: Shell is amazing and wondrous; I'm rewriting minoteaur in it.
gollark: It's wildly inconsistent, unsafe (in the poor error handling sense), slow, and makes many simple operations far too hard.
