In Korea, the phrase 천고마비 describes September as the season of 'high skies and plump horses', referring to the clear air and the harvest of grains.
While 9월 is the calendar month, Koreans often use the term 추석 in September to refer to the harvest moon festival, which is one of the most important holidays of the year.
The character 월 comes from the Chinese character for 'moon', reflecting how early calendars in East Asia were based on lunar phases rather than the sun.
