Spring Season
Winter Season
冬 is the word/character used to describe the Winter season in Chinese and Japanese.
It also means winter in Korean Hanja, though a second character is usually added in Korean.
Autumn / Fall Season
秋 is the word/character used to describe the Autumn or Fall season in Chinese and Japanese.
See Also: Winter | Spring | Summer | Four Seasons
Summer Season
夏 is the word/character used to describe the Summer season in Chinese, Korean and Japanese.
If your name is Summer, I like this character better than transliterating a few characters together to make something that sounds like “summer.”
Blue Dragon / Azure Dragon
青龍 is a scholarly title for “Blue Dragon” or “Azure Dragon.”
You'll find this title used in ancient Chinese literature and astronomy. This dragon has dominion over the eastern sky or eastern heavens. The Azure Dragon is also noted for representing the spring season. Also seen as an auspicious omen.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty canonized the five colored dragons as “kings.” The Azure Dragon represents the most compassionate of kings.
In Japanese, this title is known with the same meaning but can also be a given name, Seiryuu or Seiryu.
Note, the first character can be written as 
OR 
. Same character, just two ways to write it.
Harmony / Balance
Cho Wa
調和 is one of the several ways to express harmony in Chinese and Japanese.
Note: The first character means harmony but also suggests a musical meaning. It can also describe warriors marching in perfect cadence (in step) or to regulate something.
The second character carries the meaning of harmony and peace by itself.
Together, these characters create a word that can be defined as harmonious, to mediate, to reconcile, to compromise; mediation, temper, to mix, blend, blended, season, seasoning (getting the flavors of the food in balance), to placate, or be in harmonious proportion.
The meaning varies depending on the context. However, when hanging as a wall scroll, this will refer to the person (you) being balanced and in harmony while rational and under control simultaneously.
One frost doesn't make winter
一次霜凍不代表整個冬天 is a proverb that means “One frost doesn't make winter.”
The deeper meaning is that a single early sign of cold weather doesn't signify the full onset or severity of winter; it's about the gradual transition of seasons, patience, and not jumping to conclusions.
It's a reminder to stay resilient, wait for the real season to arrive, and not let one small event define the whole experience, similar to how one kind word can warm you for months.
While the origin of this proverb is murky (not originally Chinese, likely a modern adaptation of “One swallow does not a summer make”), this idea aligns with the Chinese solar terms (二十四節氣), which mark subtle shifts, like the transition from "cold dew" (寒露) to "frost falls" (霜降).
