Autumn is divided into early autumn, Mid-Autumn Festival and late autumn. When were these three times?

1, beginning of autumn, is the 13 solar term in 24 solar terms, which is held in beginning of autumn from August 7th to 9th every year. "Autumn" means cool in summer, which means the beginning of autumn. After beginning of autumn, although the summer heat is hard to disappear for a while, there is still the afterglow of "autumn tiger", but the general trend is that the weather is getting colder and colder.

"Mid-Autumn Festival" means the middle of autumn. August in the lunar calendar is a month in autumn, and the 15th is a day in this month. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival may be a custom passed down from the ancient "Autumn Newspaper".

3. The end of autumn. September of the lunar calendar. "Biography of Heather Willow": "It's late autumn again, and I have no leisure time. I want clothes at night, but I don't want to cover them. " Song and Qin Guan's poem "Su Jinshan": "I still come here on a sunny day, and October is not as cold as late autumn." Chen Bochui's Xiao Zhen went to jiaozi: "Some trees on the mountain and under the mountain have yellow leaves, some are still green, and some are very red.". What a beautiful late autumn scenery.

According to "Twenty-four solar terms": "Autumn is also contending, and things gather here". Beginning of autumn not only indicates that hot summer is coming, but also autumn is coming. It also means that the vegetation begins to bear fruit and children, and the harvest season is here. At this time, early rice was harvested and late rice was transplanted in Central China, and autumn crops entered an important growth and development period.

The ancients regarded beginning of autumn as an important moment at the turn of summer and autumn, and always attached great importance to this solar term. According to records, the plane tree planted in the basin was moved into the temple by Li Qiuqiu Palace in the Song Dynasty. It's time for "beginning of autumn". Tai Shigong shouted, "Autumn is here." After the play, the phoenix tree dropped one or two leaves to express autumn.
