The history of the Mid-Autumn Festival

Beginning of autumn, one of the "Four Stands", indicates the beginning of autumn, the beginning of grain ripening and the arrival of harvest season. "Li Shu" said: "Fighting means that the southwest dimension is the beginning of autumn, and Yin means that everything begins to kill when it comes out of the ground." According to the instructions of autumn, the grain is ripe. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": "Autumn, five grains are ripe." The change of the whole nature is a gradual process. Beginning of autumn is the turning point when the Yang gradually closes and the Yin gradually grows, and the Yang gradually turns to the Yin. For example, as the pipe says, "In autumn, the overcast begins, so it's all over."

"Three summers" and "three days" both represent hot and extremely hot weather, and the summer days in the 24 solar terms are longer.
