Son of autumn-Millennium

One of the twenty-four solar terms

In the fifteenth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, the temperature difference between day and night is the largest in a year.

When the sun reaches 165 degrees, it is the Millennium solar term. Millennium is a solar term related to temperature. Around the Millennium, the temperature difference between day and night began to increase, so it is necessary to pay attention to increasing clothes. At this time, the heat of summer is slowly replaced by autumn. The temperature also began to drop slowly, and the weather gradually turned cold. In most parts of China, the weather is cool in autumn, and the clouds are light and the wind is light.

There are three stages in the Millennium.

There are three waiting statements in the Millennium:

After a while, Hongyan flew south. Hongyan is a northerner. After the Millennium, the north began to get cold slowly, so it began to fly south.

When the swallows return to the south. Swallows come from the south. After the Millennium, they began to return to their homes in the south to prepare for the winter.

Three waiting birds store winter grain. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the birds are preparing for the winter.

The Millennium has begun. Have you found anything recently? When you get up early every morning, you will find that. There are many dewdrops on the leaves or grass on the tree.

That's right. This is, this is one of the most striking features of the Millennium.

That's because the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. Condensed by steam at night.

Why is autumn dew called "White Dew"?

This is because the ancients used five elements to match the four seasons. Autumn belongs to five elements of gold, and the color of autumn is white, so the dew in autumn is called "white dew".

This season's Millennium. The climate is getting cold. Cold is heavy.

Therefore, there is a folk proverb: "eighteen pots of summer heat, a thousand years without exposure."

In other words, it will still be hot in summer, and you need to take a bath with a basin of water every day. /kloc-You won't be shirtless after 0/8 days, and you will catch cold. Remind everyone to keep warm.

"The night dew is crazy, and it will be poisonous in the future."

In other words, if there is a lot of dew at night, it proves that the sun is poisonous the next day.

"The white dew cuts the millet, and the first frost picks the persimmon!"

The Millennium is coming, so you can cut rice. You can pick persimmons as soon as the first frost comes.
