Beginning of autumn is the 13 solar term among the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, and it is also the first solar term in autumn, marking the official start of the Qiu Meng season. Although the date is calculated in this way, in meteorology, people will take the average daily temperature below 22 degrees Celsius for five consecutive days as the symbol of beginning of autumn. According to this standard, in fact, few areas in China can fall in beginning of autumn naively. Like the Jianghuai area, it may have to wait until September.

As the saying goes, "an autumn rain brings a cold." After beginning of autumn, the heat and dryness in summer will gradually disappear, the temperature difference between day and night will gradually increase, and the cool wind will blow. This process will continue until the official arrival of autumn. Beginning of autumn usually occurs on August 7th or 8th of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 135 degrees. Beginning of autumn marks the beginning of autumn, the temperature drops gradually, the grain matures, and farmers welcome the harvest season.

Autumn is the harvest season, but in some mountainous areas of Hunan, Jiangxi and Anhui, because of the complicated terrain, farmers are afraid that the harvested crops will be moldy, and gradually form the custom of "autumn drying", that is, drying crops in their own yards, walls or roofs. This agricultural custom of sunbathing in autumn is the most famous in Qiling ancient village, Wuyuan, Jiangxi. The local autumn sunshine lasts from June 6th to September 9th in the lunar calendar, and now it has become a folk business card of the local tourism industry, and the ancient village of Qiling has also become a national 4A-level tourist attraction. Beginning of autumn season also has some "taboos" related to agricultural harvest. This taboo often has obvious regional characteristics, but as far as the whole country is concerned, "no thunder" in beginning of autumn should be a relatively common taboo.
