An overview of the sentence "Mid-autumn, nearly three points in the year";

Today is the "autumnal equinox" among the 24 solar terms. In rural areas, there is a saying about the "autumnal equinox", that is, "the autumn is over half, and the year is nearly three points". In particular, the twenty-four solar terms were once the "unique skills" of many rural elderly people in farming.

Nowadays, the countryside all over the country is a busy scene. Whether it is golden rice fields or cornfields in Huang Cancan, the countryside is filled with the joy of harvest. For rural people who are busy with the autumn harvest, in addition to paying attention to the weather and grasping the autumn harvest, the rural elderly still trust the "lunar calendar" for grasping the time.

Today's autumnal equinox is September 23rd in the solar calendar and August 25th in the lunar calendar. According to the lunar calendar, September is coming. There are still more than four months before the traditional Spring Festival. This means that nearly two thirds of the year has passed! Therefore, the elderly in rural areas will say "more than half of the autumn, nearly three points in the year"!

This proverb not only reminds rural people to seize the time to do a good job in autumn harvest and autumn sowing, but also strive for a satisfactory harvest at the end of the year! Therefore, the elderly in the northern rural areas also have this saying: "The white dew is early, the cold dew is late, and it is the right time to plant wheat in the autumn equinox." Old people in rural areas in the south will say that the weather in the autumn equinox is white clouds, and there are good songs and good rice everywhere.
