Brief introduction of beginning of autumn.

Beginning of autumn, the 13 solar term among the 24 solar terms, is the first solar term in autumn, which marks the official start of the Qiu Meng season, generally indicating that the hot summer is coming, and autumn is coming, and its date is between August 7th and 9th in the Gregorian calendar every year.

Beginning of autumn is still in the summer heat period, and the summer heat will not come out until the second solar term in autumn, and the weather is still very hot in early autumn. The so-called "heat is in the dog days" is also called "beginning of autumn drops later", and there is at least "falling" hot weather after beginning of autumn. According to the calculation method of "dog days", the days of "beginning of autumn" are often in the middle of dog days, that is to say, the heat is not over, and the real coolness usually comes after the Millennium solar terms.

After entering autumn, the climate changed from rainy and humid in summer to dry and rainy in autumn. In nature, the qi of Yin and Yang began to change, and everything gradually declined with the sinking of Yang. The most obvious change is that the leaves of vegetation change from lush green to yellow, and the crops begin to mature. Beginning of autumn, as one of the "four seasons and eight festivals" in ancient times, has folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the land gods, celebrating the harvest, "pasting autumn fertilizer" and "biting autumn".
