One is called the Millennium, and the other is called Gui.

Yuan Ye. Gaoyou Day: The vernal equinox comes and the autumnal equinox goes. At this time, it moves from north to south. Yan is a southern bird, so he returns to Japan.

The mysterious bird is back, the vernal equinox is coming, the autumnal equinox is approaching, the cool wind is curling, and the exposed branches are wet. It's time to go. When the swallow leaves the nest, there will be no cicada. Everything is pregnant with sadness in silence. The mountains are red, and the persimmons are covered with trees, but the branches and leaves are sparse. The hibiscus flower has faded, the grass roots have turned yellow, and the first flying leaf has begun to affect my thoughts. Yan went to Hongzhi and left every year until dusk, from fleeting time to darkness.

There are 24 solar terms, including 12 months, and each solar term is about 15 days. In China, "five days" is called "one weather" and "three weather" is a solar term, so a solar term is also called "three weather".

In ancient China, the Millennium was divided into three stages: "When Hongyan came; Second, wait for the mysterious bird to return; Three waiting birds raise shame. " It is the Bailu solar term in which migratory birds such as Hongyan and Swallow fly south to avoid the cold, and hundreds of birds begin to store dried fruit particles for the winter.

Second, Hongyan is coming.

After the Millennium solar term, it is about to enter the late autumn, and the geese have migrated from north to south in search of a warm winter place.

Third, the flock causes shame.

"Shame" and "shame" are both common words, meaning food. By the Millennium solar term, the weather began to enter late autumn, and animals sensed the change of seasons and began to store food and prepare food for winter.

Cold air is more and more active this season, and low temperature weather often occurs in autumn, which affects the heading and flowering of late rice, and it is necessary to prevent low temperature chilling injury and pests and diseases. When cold air invades, water can be used to keep warm, and water more than two inches before low temperature can raise the temperature by 1 ~ 2℃. When the temperature is low, shallow water can be poured in sunny days and nights; Pour strong water on rainy days.
