What does the Millennium mean? What does the Millennium mean?

Lead: Each solar term has its own characteristics in climate, diet and customs. Many areas in China pay more attention to the solar terms of the Millennium, and have the custom of the Millennium Festival. So, what does the Millennium mean? What does the Millennium mean? I will share it with you today.

What does the Millennium mean?

Millennium means that the weather is getting cold. Because the temperature is still more than 30 degrees during the day, but it drops to more than 20 degrees at night, and the temperature difference between them is 10 degrees. Yang Qi reached its peak in the summer solstice, and these two extremes must be reversed, and Yin Qi also rose at this time. When it comes to the White Dew, the yin gradually increases, and the morning dew gradually thickens and condenses into a layer of white water drops, so it is called the White Dew.

According to the "twenty-four solar terms", "August Festival ... Yin Qi is getting heavier and heavier, and it is white." As the weather gets colder and colder, you will find many dewdrops on the ground and leaves in the morning, which is named after the water vapor condenses on them at night. The ancients used four seasons with five elements, and autumn was golden and golden white, so white was used to describe autumn dew.

Why is this Millennium unusual?

According to the ancient almanac, "when the sunflower is not exposed, the shade becomes heavier and the cold causes dew condensation", which reflects the temperature change in nature. Especially at night, the temperature drops rapidly and the temperature difference between day and night begins to increase.

As the fifth invention of China, forecasting weather and harvest with 24 solar terms is a precious legacy left by ancient working people to the world. A careful analysis of this year's Millennium shows that it has the following two characteristics.

(1)2022 is "early white dew"

This year's Millennium, the handover time appeared at 23: 32: 07 on August 12 of the lunar calendar, belonging to the earliest "Millennium". Speaking of which, some friends may raise objections. Why open your eyes and tell lies when it is already late?

In fact, the so-called sooner or later needs to be judged by the history of cadres and branches, which is the fundamental and foundation. The dry calendar is a time-keeping method with a long history founded by our ancestors. It consists of 10 aerial stem and 12 terrestrial branch in turn, forming 60 basic units, including 24 solar terms, 12 February, etc. Its content is extremely profound.

Because the Millennium starts from the unitary month, it is too early before the unitary time; After the unitary time, it is too late. This year's Millennium is at midnight. Speaking of "midnight", the ancient book "Star Wars" said: "Midnight, the first half is before midnight, belonging to yesterday; The second half, after midnight, belongs to today. " From this perspective, the Millennium in 2022 is "the beginning of the Millennium".

(2)2022 is a "single white dew"

This year's white exposure appears on September 7, August 12 of the lunar calendar. Because twelve is an even number, I see that many friends simply define it as "double white dew", which is actually incorrect. Because from the perspective of the official calendar, this year's white show appears on Jiazi Guihai Day, but it is actually the time of August 13 of the lunar calendar. So strictly speaking, this year's Millennium is singular and belongs to "single Millennium".

What are the terms "early white dew" and "single white dew"?

In rural proverbs, there are different views in the morning and evening of the Millennium. "Early dew, wet" means that the probability of rain is high; And "white dew at night, chilly" means the weather will be fine.

So, what about double white dew and single white dew?

"The white dew meets the single, and the underground is not dry", which means that there is abundant rain. "The white dew meets the double, and the dry valley returns to the warehouse", which means that the weather is fine and suitable for autumn grain storage. Because this year is the "early Millennium" and it is a one-day tour of the Millennium, there is a great chance of rain in the Millennium season.

So, is it good or bad to rain at this time? How will it affect the autumn harvest? Below, we continue to analyze.

There is a rural proverb in the countryside, "July is not afraid of ghosts, but the dew", which is about the danger of rain this season. Because after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the crops will be harvested. At this time, sufficient sunshine and large temperature difference between day and night are most needed to promote grain fullness and win time for leisurely harvesting. The rain in July is worse than ghosts.

The Millennium must be sunny instead of rainy, which is the need of crop growth and the symbol of a bumper harvest year. But this year is prone to rain, which used to be a sign of famine, which is the so-called "white dew for a day, crying."

Of course, this year's extreme weather has set a new record for 60 years. In the past, this was a pain that rural farmers could never bear. But today, we have advanced scientific and technological strength to overcome natural disasters and advanced meteorological science to reduce and prevent disasters. Even in the face of extreme and unpredictable weather, we can still get a bumper harvest.
