The meaning of Millennium solar terms

The moral of the Millennium is that the weather is getting cold.

The Millennium solar term is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms in China, which reflects an important turning point in the change of natural temperature. The arrival of the Millennium basically ended the sultry summer. After entering the Millennium solar term, Xia Feng is gradually replaced by autumn wind, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, so you can feel the obvious coolness at night.

The Millennium solar terms belong to one of the 24 solar terms, and the calendar indicates the change of natural rhythm and the establishment of specific festivals in December. The Millennium solar term is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms, indicating the end of the Qiu Meng season and the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the calendar, "the bucket refers to the dew, and the yin is getting heavier and heavier, so it is called Millennium."

White dew custom

1, sacrifice to Yu Wang

People in some areas will make sacrifices to Yu Wang in the Millennium. Yu Wang is the legendary hero of water control, Dayu. Fishermen on Taihu Lake call him "Waterway Bodhisattva". Every year, on the eighth day of the first month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the seventh day of July, and White Deer Festival, there will be ceremonies to burn incense to Yu Wang, among which Tomb-Sweeping Day and White Deer Spring and Autumn Festival are the largest and last for one week.

Step 2 drink Bailu tea

Bailu tea is tea picked in Bailu season. There is a folk saying that "spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, tea is needed, and autumn dew". At this time, after the summer heat, the tea tree is just another growth period before and after the Millennium.

Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea nor as dry and bitter as summer tea. It has a little too much flavor, giving people just the right feeling. Take a sip gently, and your lips and teeth will remain fragrant and full of sweetness, which is deeply loved by old tea customers.
