There are three differences between beginning of autumn, Chushu, Bailu, Equinox, Cold Dew and First Frost:

First, the six solar terms are different:

1. beginning of autumn solar terms: It is the 13th solar term among the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar and the first solar term in autumn, namely the July Festival.

2. Summer solar terms: it is the fourteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, and autumn is the second solar term. The time is August 23rd in Gregorian calendar, and the sun reaches the longitude of the Yellow River 150.

3. Millennium solar terms: the fifteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and the third solar term in autumn. When the sun reaches longitude 165 degrees, it is the Millennium.

4. Time of solar terms in the autumnal equinox: The sixteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar belongs to the fourth solar term in autumn, and the time is generally from September 22nd to September 24th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

5. Cold dew solar term time: it is the seventeenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and belongs to the fifth solar term in autumn, indicating the official end of the autumn season; The time is1October 7-9, 10.

6. First frost solar term: The last solar term in autumn is around 65438+1October 23rd in Gregorian calendar every year.

Second, six different meanings:

1, beginning of autumn means: It marks the official start of the season in Qiu Meng, and "autumn" means that summer is cool. When we arrived in beginning of autumn, the phoenix tree began to shed its leaves, so there is an idiom "Autumn is known by falling leaves". Literally, the word "autumn" consists of "valley" and "fire", indicating the maturity of five grains. Autumn is the transitional season when the weather turns from hot to cold, and then from cold to cold.

2. Significance of long summer: It means that it is about to enter the autumn with meteorological significance. After the summer, the temperature in the area north of the Yellow River in China gradually drops.

Meaning of Millennium: It means the end of autumn and the beginning of Mid-Autumn Festival. Dew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to temperature drop. So the Millennium actually indicates that the weather is getting cold.

4. Significance of the autumnal equinox: 1. On this day, the sun reaches the longitude 180 (autumnal equinox), and the sun almost shines directly at the equator of the earth, and the length of day and night is the same all over the world (regardless of the refraction of sunlight by the atmosphere and the shadow in the morning). After the autumnal equinox, the direct point of the sun continued to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, and the days in the northern hemisphere began to shorten and the nights became longer, that is, the days in a day began to be shorter than the nights; The southern hemisphere is the opposite. Therefore, the autumnal equinox is also called the landing point.

5. The meaning of cold dew: the temperature is lower than that of white dew, and the dew on the ground is colder, which will soon condense into frost. In the cold dew season, Nanling and the vast area to the north have entered autumn, the northeast has entered late autumn, and the northwest has entered winter or is about to enter winter.

6. The meaning of the first frost: The solar term in the first frost means that the weather is getting colder and the first frost appears, which also means that winter is about to begin.

Three, six different customs:

1, beginning of autumn custom: Every year in beginning of autumn, with the maturity of fruits and vegetables, Huangling enters the most prosperous season of autumn sun drying. Sunbathing in autumn is a typical agricultural custom. Villagers living in mountainous areas such as Hunan, Jiangxi and Anhui. Because of the complex terrain and little flat land in their village, they have to use the front and back of their houses and their own windowsills and roofs to hang or dry crops. Over time, this has evolved into a traditional agricultural custom.

2. Customs during the hot summer: For coastal fishermen, the hot summer is the season of fishing and harvesting. During the summer vacation every year, the annual grand fishing festival will be held in the coastal areas of Zhejiang. It was decided to hold a grand fishing ceremony on the day of the fishing moratorium in the East China Sea to see the fishermen off to sea.

3. Millennium custom: Sacrifice to Yu Wang, Yu Wang is the legendary hero of water control, and the fishermen on Taihu Lake are called "water gods". Every year on the eighth day of the first month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the seventh day of July and the Millennium, incense parties are held to commemorate Yu Wang. Among them, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Bailuyuan have the largest Spring and Autumn Festival, which lasted for one week.

4, the custom of the autumnal equinox: send autumn cattle, the autumnal equinox will arrive soon. There will be autumn cows coming to your door. The picture is printed with red paper or yellow paper on the lunar solar terms all the year round, and also printed with farmers' ploughing patterns, which is called "Autumn Cattle Map".

The pictures are all folk singers, mainly talking about good luck in autumn ploughing that does not violate the farming season. Every time they go to a house, they say whatever they see until the owner is happy to give money. Although the words spoken are casual, every sentence rhymes beautifully. Commonly known as "Autumn", Qiu Ren is called "Qiu Guan".

5. Cold dew custom: Cold dew is in the heading and filling stage of late rice, so it is necessary to continue to strengthen field management, so as to achieve shallow water irrigation, pay equal attention to both wet and dry, and give priority to wet, and it is strictly forbidden to cut off water prematurely in the later stage. In the cold dew season, the north is in the busy season of corn harvest and winter wheat planting. Before and after the first frost, corn was harvested and winter wheat was sown.

6. First frost custom: When the first frost, chrysanthemums are in full bloom. At this time, the folk will hold a chrysanthemum party. To express my love and respect for chrysanthemums. There is a small-scale chrysanthemum party, which is held by rich people without leaving home.

Before the first frost, we collected 100 pots of famous chrysanthemums, put them in the middle of Guangsha, and set up a chrysanthemum tower in the back of the front porch. There are good wines and dishes in front of the chrysanthemum tower. First, the family members bow down to the chrysanthemum god in order of age, and then drink and admire the chrysanthemum, and write poems and splash ink.
