Is the Millennium classified as July or August of the lunar calendar?

Twenty-four solar terms are calculated according to the solar calendar, and the Millennium is generally between September 7 and 9 of the Gregorian calendar. Millennium is 15 of the "24 solar terms" and the third solar term in autumn. "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.

What are the Millennium customs all over the country? The customs of the Millennium solar terms vary from place to place. Some places will hold "Sacrifice to Yu Wang" during the solar term of the Millennium, while in Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a traditional custom called "Longan must be eaten in the Millennium". In the old days, Nanjing people had the custom of drinking "Bailu tea" in Bailu solar terms, while others had the custom of eating sweet potatoes and black-boned white-haired chickens. In short, most local customs are related to eating.

However, it should be noted that after the Millennium solar terms, autumn is more intense, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is further widened. There is a folk saying that "eighteen pots of summer heat will not be exposed for a thousand years." It means to remind us that after the Millennium, never be naked again, or you will catch a cold easily!
