The most beautiful solar terms in the Millennium

The most beautiful solar term in the Millennium is an important solar term reflecting the cold growth of nature.

During the white dew, the summer monsoon is gradually replaced by the winter monsoon, and the cold air changes from defense to attack. In addition, when the direct point of the sun moves south, the sunshine time in the northern hemisphere becomes shorter, the light intensity weakens, and the ground radiation dissipates heat quickly, so the cooling speed gradually accelerates. The ancients used four seasons with five elements, autumn was golden, golden and white, and autumn dew was described in white, hence the name "Bailu", which is the most beautiful solar term and an important solar term reflecting the cold growth of nature.

As the folk proverb says, "the white dew reveals itself." It is said that the weather is bad, so you can give clothes and ears. "It is intended to remind people that it is still hot during the day and it is already cold in the morning and evening. If you go shirtless, you will catch a cold easily. In addition, we should prevent autumn dryness at this time. During the Bailuyuan period, local folk customs mainly included offering sacrifices to Dayu, brewing grain wine and drinking Bailuyuan tea.

Thousands of years of traditional customs

1, drink Bailu tea

Bailu tea is tea picked in Bailu season. There is a folk saying that "spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, tea is needed, and autumn dew". At this time, after the summer heat, the tea tree is just another growth period before and after the Millennium. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea nor as dry and bitter as summer tea. It has a little too much flavor, giving people just the right feeling. Take a sip gently, and your lips and teeth will remain fragrant and full of sweetness, which is deeply loved by old tea customers.

Step 2 sip rice wine

Xingning, Sandu and Liaojiang in Zixing, Hunan have always had the custom of making wine. Every year on the Millennium Festival, every family will make wine and drink "local wine" when receiving guests. Its wine takes glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains as raw materials, which is mild and sweet, and is called "Bailu rice wine".

3. Autumn House

Autumn Society and Spring Society are both "social days" to worship the land gods in ancient times. Autumn clubs are usually held on the fifth day after beginning of autumn, about forty days after beginning of autumn, and usually around the millennium and the vernal equinox. This is a festival to celebrate the harvest and offer sacrifices to the gods.
