Is the sea the last solar term?

October 1st

Cold dew, as the last few solar terms in a year, cold air indicates the arrival of winter ~

On this day, bucket handle pointed to Sin, and the sun moved to longitude 195 degrees. Looking up at the starry sky at night, you will find that the starry sky has changed seasons, which means that the "big Mars" representing midsummer has sunk in the west. We can vaguely hear the footsteps in winter.

In ancient China, the cold dew was divided into three stages: "The first stage was the swan goose; Second, the sparrow enters the water and becomes a clam; Three chrysanthemums have yellow flowers. " In this solar term, geese move south in a line or herringbone queue; Yellow flowers, that is, chrysanthemums, are gradually blooming.

Hongyan Guest: On the day of cold dew, "Hongyan Guest". The Hongyan Bailu solar term has begun to fly south, and this is the last batch. The ancients called the latecomers "guests".

A sparrow entering the water is a clam: in the last five days, "a sparrow entering the water is a clam", which is an abstract description of the ancients' cognition of solar terms.

Chrysanthemum blooms with yellow flowers: On the fifth day, "Chrysanthemum blooms with yellow flowers", flowers are flowers, and all plants and trees bloom because of the sun, but only chrysanthemum blooms because of the shade, and its color is just in the late autumn when the soil is flourishing.

It is worth mentioning that in the second season of Cold Dew, "A bird into the water is a clam" should be interpreted:

Literally, birds fly into the water and become clams on this day. But even children who don't know the world know how the creatures in the sea are changed by birds. Did the ancients have bad eyes? Thousands of years of history, such a simple mistake has never been discovered? Did the ancients accidentally tell the wrong story? What's so mysterious about this?

In fact, this is not really a mistake described by the ancients. There is a cloud in Mandarin: A sparrow enters the sea as a clam. Even the book "Guoyu" says so, which shows that it is very likely that the ancients did not make such a narrative mistake, but that our later generations misunderstood it, which led to their incomprehension of this sentence.

Then how to explain this sentence to make people understand it smoothly? The phenomenon of saying this sentence first On this day, the ancients along the coast found that clams proliferated and seafood was harvested. This is the definition of the word "water is a clam".

What is a "sparrow"? Sparrows do not refer to birds flying in the sky, but to the seven nights of Suzaku in North Xuanwu and South Suzaku! Suzaku's seven cabins include Su Jing, Ghost Cabin, Liu Su, Su Xing, Zhang Su, Wing Cabin and Furong Cabin. As I said before, the cold dew solar terms, "big Mars" moved its position, and the big Mars went west, and the west represented water. This time, the ecliptic just walked on the well for divination! This is what the word "bird into the water" means. The ancients were only "every word is worth a thousand dollars" in this sentence and were not willing to use ink.

So what the ancients actually meant was that the well in Suzaku's sky changed during the cold and dew season. The well on the bank of the Milky Way is like the water in the sky. Star officials related to water conservancy are all kinds. They have been busy for half a year, and they have gone to the west and returned to the sea. Even the celestial energy represented by wells has to fall into the water, so that the aquatic products will be harvested this day! That's why the phrase "the bird in the water is a clam" came into being.

Are we all?

Make a choice?

But in the end?

Our choices make us who we are.
