The meaning of autumnal equinox

The meaning of the autumnal equinox: The ancients described the autumnal equinox as "Yin and Yang are accompanied, day and night are even, cold and summer are even", which is really a stroke of genius. At the autumnal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the Antarctic polar night and the Arctic polar day will all end. The time scale in the northern hemisphere gradually tilts towards the night, and the night is getting longer and longer, and the sunshine is getting shorter and shorter. Living in the northern hemisphere, we will break up with summer completely.

Our ancestors thought that the autumnal equinox had another meaning, and that was "equal share". It not only represents the equal division of day and night at this time, but also represents that autumn has passed halfway. Interpretation of the autumnal equinox: one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar means officially entering the late autumn. At this time, it is a good time for autumn. The golden wind is refreshing and the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. The temperature is moderate at the autumnal equinox, and as long as it rains, it will lower the surface temperature. The agricultural proverb says, "An autumn rain leads to a cold" and "Autumn dew divides the night, and it is cold all night".

Moral of the autumnal equinox: It symbolizes the harvest in autumn. The autumnal equinox is equally divided day and night, and the sun is on the horizon all day, which also symbolizes the joy of autumn harvest. "The autumn equinox is half cloudy and half sunny, so it is cold and hot day and night." ? Autumn equinox? "Divide" to whom? Half? Meaning.
