The autumnal equinox usually refers to the solar calendar on September 22nd or 23rd when the sun reaches 180 degrees. At this time, the earth is right in the middle of the equatorial line, with equal length of day and night and balance of yin and yang. This day is regarded as the midpoint of autumn, hence the name "Autumn Equinox".

The concept of autumnal equinox originated from the 24 solar terms in ancient China. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancients were able to calculate the alternation of four seasons by observing the change of the position of the sun. In the northern hemisphere, when the sun shines directly on the equatorial line, the time between day and night is equal, the yin and yang are balanced, the temperature is suitable, the phenology is mature, and the autumnal equinox solar terms are produced.

On the day of the autumnal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equatorial line, resulting in equal time between day and night all over the world. This means that on the day of the autumnal equinox, the time is 12 hour, whether it is day or night.

After the autumnal equinox, the temperature in the northern hemisphere began to drop gradually, and the weather became cool and pleasant. The climate at this time is suitable for outdoor activities and crop growth. The autumn equinox is the harvest season of crops. In autumn, many crops, such as rice, corn and wheat, begin to mature and harvest. Therefore, the autumnal equinox also marks the beginning of the agricultural harvest season.

The autumnal equinox is the harvest season of crops and an important moment for farmers. At this time, the crops are ripe and need to be harvested as soon as possible to avoid loss. Therefore, the autumnal equinox is also a busy time for farmers.

In some areas of China, the autumnal equinox has some special dietary customs. For example, Zhejiang will eat autumn soup cakes and pray for a safe harvest; In Guangdong, there is a custom of eating pictures of autumn cows. Straw is woven into the shape of a cow and cooked in a pot to pray for a bumper harvest.

The autumnal equinox is also a good time for some folk activities. For example, in Taiwan Province Province, China, a sacrificial ceremony will be held to celebrate the harvest, which is called "Autumn Harvest Festival". In addition, there are folk activities such as flying kites and enjoying red leaves. The natural landscape of the autumnal equinox is also beautiful. At this time, the temperature is suitable and the scenery is pleasant. In the north of China, you can see golden rice fields and maple leaves falling, while in the south, you can see trees.

In short, the autumnal equinox is an important solar term and festival. It marks the beginning of the harvest season of crops, and it is also a good opportunity for people to enjoy the harvest, appreciate the natural landscape and participate in folk activities. On this special day of the autumnal equinox, people can feel the beauty and richness of nature.
