Han people should avoid contact with water in all parts of the human body during the Millennium.

In ancient times, it was an ancient custom to avoid all parts of the human body from touching water during the Millennium Festival.

Millennium is a solar term, indicating that the weather is getting cold. In the Millennium, people will obviously feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived. Although the temperature still reaches more than 30 degrees Celsius during the day, it drops to 20 degrees Celsius or even only a dozen degrees Celsius at night. The temperature difference between day and night should be the biggest time of the year.

Because of this, the feeling of the Millennium solar terms is more obvious, and the dew in the morning is getting thicker and thicker, condensing into a layer of white water droplets. The ancients thought that the water droplets collected by Yin Qi were harmful to human body, and people would have stomachache if they drank the Millennium. In the past, there were sayings such as "mosquitoes can't open their mouths when they drink the white dew" and "cicadas become dumb when they drink the white dew".

In fact, people who drink the Millennium are caused by weather changes and have nothing to do with the Millennium. The Millennium is divided into autumn nights, and one night is cold. There is a folk proverb called "eighteen pots in midsummer, without dew", which means that it is no problem to take a bath with a pot of water every day after summer 18 days, but when it comes to dew, don't be naked again to avoid catching cold, let alone taking a bath with cold water.

In ancient times, it was an ancient custom to avoid all parts of the human body from touching water during the Millennium Festival.

After the Millennium, the weather is changeable, especially the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Therefore, as the saying goes, "The White Dew is not as good as a ghost", probably to remind people that the weather is getting colder, stay away from cold water, pay attention to adding clothes and quilts in the morning and evening, and don't be greedy.

Millennium is the15th solar term in the "twenty-four solar terms", and the third solar term in autumn is the end of the application of the moon in the lunar calendar and the beginning of the unitary month. Fighting fingers; The sun reaches longitude 165 degrees; Gregorian calendar September 7-9. "White dew" is an important solar term reflecting the growth of cold in nature. As the weather turns cold, it is sunny and hot during the day, but the temperature drops quickly after evening, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

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 Millennium basically ended the sweltering heat in summer, and the weather gradually turned cold, and the cold gave birth to dew condensation. The ancients used four seasons with five elements. Autumn belongs to gold, gold and white alternate with each other, and autumn dew is described in white, hence the name "White Dew".

According to the observation of nature, the ancients in China divided the Millennium into three stages: "When the geese come, the mysterious birds return, and the birds are ashamed." This means that in this solar term, migratory birds such as Hongyan and Swallow fly south to avoid the cold, and hundreds of birds begin to store dried fruit food for the winter.

At present, farmers are also busy harvesting crops. As the saying goes, "If you grab autumn, you will lose it." During the Bailuyuan period, local folk customs mainly included offering sacrifices to Dayu, brewing grain wine and drinking Bailuyuan tea.
