Notes on Usage
- "Cảnh may" is an older, poetic term. It is important to note that in contemporary usage, the word "may" alone is very rarely used to mean "autumn." The standard modern word is "thu" (as in ). Therefore, "cảnh may" is primarily encountered in classical poetry, literature, or artistic descriptions.
