What does the Millennium solar term mean?

Millennium is the first solar term in September. Dew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to temperature drop. This solar term indicates the end of the Qiu Meng season and the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the Millennium actually indicates that the weather has turned cold.

The Millennium is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar. This solar term marks the end of the Qiu Meng season and the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The weather is getting cold, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the air is cool. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large. The date is September 7 or 8 of the Gregorian calendar, the tenth day of the eighth lunar month.

The arrival of the Millennium marks the end of the Qiu Meng season and the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, crops began to mature, autumn tigers began to disappear, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was relatively large. Especially at night, you will feel obvious coolness, so pay attention to adding clothes to avoid catching cold.

At this time, people will obviously feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived. Because the temperature is still more than 30 degrees during the day, but it drops to more than 20 degrees at night, and the temperature difference between them is 10 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. As the saying goes:? 18 basin heat, never exposed for a thousand years. ? These two sentences mean that it is still hot in summer, so you must take a bath with a basin of water every day. After eighteen days, in the new millennium, don't be shirtless and naked, lest you catch cold. There is another saying:? The Millennium is charming, and the autumn equinox is beautiful. ? This means that if there is dew before and after the white dew, the late rice will have a good harvest.

Autumn wind often blows in the Millennium season, which dries up the moisture in the air, so the climate is relatively dry and the precipitation in the north is obviously reduced. In the Millennium, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to Yu Wang and holding incense ceremonies for Yu Wang, and there is a custom of eating longan in Fuzhou, Fujian, which means staying away from diseases.
