Such a rural proverb reflects that the weather turns from hot to cold in autumn except in Lingnan area.

There is a saying that "autumn night in the white dew is cool all night." "White dew is not exposed, cold dew is not exposed." It shows that the Millennium is the half month with the largest temperature difference between day and night among the 24 solar terms. Bailu, "Bailu is past the autumnal equinox, and farmers are busy." "The white dew is red, yellow and white, and the cotton fields are like the sea."

In the Millennium, the land of the motherland has gradually harvested from north to south.

Meteorological change

After entering the Millennium solar terms, the summer monsoon is gradually replaced by the winter monsoon, and the cold air gradually moves southward frequently. In addition, the position where the sun directly touches the ground moves south, and the sunshine time in the northern hemisphere becomes shorter and the sunshine intensity weakens. At night, it is often partly cloudy and sunny, and the ground radiation dissipates quickly, so the temperature drop is gradually accelerated. There is a saying called "Qiu Qiu in a thousand years, it is cold all night."

After the Millennium, the temperature difference between day and night gradually widened. Although the temperature is high at noon during the day, it is already very cold in the morning and at night. According to the standard of "average weather temperature" proposed by modern scholar Zhang Baokun, the average weather temperature is 10-22℃ in spring or autumn. According to this standard, from the beginning of the Millennium solar term, all localities began to enter autumn one after another.
