When is the third golden autumn solstice?

This day refers to the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival begins.

"Three days before the golden autumn" is a period of time in China's traditional solar terms. It is the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival and marks the official start of autumn. During this period, summer has passed, and the coolness of early autumn is gradually increasing. Although the sun is still shining during the day, the temperature drops in the morning and evening, and it gradually becomes autumn. At the same time, the plants on the earth have begun to enter the harvest season, all kinds of fruits are ripe, and the golden rice waves are swaying with the wind.

This period is especially important for farmers, because the third day of autumn is the harvest time. Farmers will take this opportunity to harvest rice, corn, vegetables and other crops, and dry, store and process them for subsequent consumption or sales.
