Millennium cold dew? So what's the difference between white dew and cold dew?

But the white dew, the cold dew and the cold dew are all autumn solar terms in the twenty-four solar terms, but they are not the same solar terms. September 7-9 is the Millennium solar term, and June 8-9 is the cold dew solar term. After the white dew, the weather turned cold and dew began to appear. When it comes to cold dew, there is more dew, and the temperature is lower.

The Millennium solar term this year's Millennium time is September 7, 20 17, and the lunar calendar is Ding Younian, July 17 Thursday.

The Millennium is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar. When the sun reaches 165 degrees, it is the millennium, which means the end of the Qiu Meng season and the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Millennium is a season that reflects the temperature changes in nature. Dew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to temperature drop. Therefore, the Millennium actually indicates that the weather is getting cold.

Cold dew solar term Cold dew is the seventeenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, belonging to the fifth solar term in autumn, indicating the official start of the autumn season; The time is 10 when the sun reaches 195 on the 8th or 9th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

"Twenty-four solar terms" said: "In September, the dew is cold and will condense." Cold dew means that the temperature is lower than that of the white dew, and the dew on the ground is colder and will soon condense into frost.

The custom of Bailu jujube.

Around the Millennium, farmers began to collect dates. Most of the time, bamboo poles are used to beat dates, but the force should be light to reduce the damage to jujube trees, otherwise the yield of jujube trees will be worrying in the coming year. This situation is vividly called "pretending to be deaf and dumb" by the elderly. The technique of beating dates is to beat a few times on the big branches first and shake off some dates. For those dates that have not been shaken, cross them with a pole along the direction of branch growth, which is similar to smoothing.

The three principles of jujube are: first, take good care of jujube trees; Second, clean it up; Third, let the dates fall in the shade, and don't hit them too far, or you will lose money.

Eat longan

In Fuzhou, Fujian and other places, longan tonic should be eaten on this day, because longan itself has many functions such as invigorating qi and strengthening spleen, nourishing blood and calming nerves, moistening skin and beautifying face, and can also treat anemia, insomnia, neurasthenia and other diseases. Moreover, before the Millennium, longan was big with a small core and sweet taste, so it is not surprising that eating fresh longan became fashionable.

Bailucha

Old Nanjing people like "Egret Tea" very much. At this time, the tea tree is in the excellent growth period after the summer heat. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor as dry and bitter as summer tea, but it has a unique sweet and mellow taste, which is especially loved by old tea customers.

Fermented rice wine

Old Nanjing in southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang also has the custom of brewing Bailu rice wine. In the old days, Bailu went to the rural areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang every year, and every family made wine to entertain guests.
