What is the meaning of China Lunar Millennium?

The Millennium is one of the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar, and it is called the Millennium solar term when the sun reaches 165 degrees. Millennium is the third solar term in autumn, marking the end of Qiu Meng and the beginning of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Dew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to temperature drop. So the Millennium actually indicates that the weather is getting cold. At this time, people will obviously feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived.

The temperature difference between day and night can reach more than ten 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.

At this time, the precipitation in northern China is obviously reduced, and the autumn is crisp and dry. During this period, the first autumn rain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can often alleviate the water shortage in the early stage, but if the cold air meets a typhoon, heavy rain or low temperature and continuous rain will be unfavorable to the growth of autumn crops.

Continuous rainy weather often occurs in the eastern part of Southwest China, South China and West China. The southeast coast, especially the south China coast, may also have heavy rain caused by tropical weather systems. In addition, autumn drought, forest fire and first frost may also occur in some areas at this time.

If the summer droughts in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, West China and South China are not nourished by autumn rain, summer and autumn droughts may all form. There is a proverb that says, "There is no drought in spring, and the drought in autumn is halved.
