What festival is the Millennium?

The Millennium is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms.

Every year in the middle of August (September 7th to 9th, Western Calendar), when the sun reaches 165 degrees, it is the Millennium. The twenty-four solar terms say, "August Festival? Yin Qi is getting heavier and heavier and condensed into white. " As the weather gets colder and colder, you will find many dewdrops on the ground and leaves in the morning, which is named after the water vapor condenses on them at night.

The ancients in China divided the Millennium into three stages: "The swan goose is coming; Second, wait for the mysterious bird to return; Three waiting birds raise shame. "It means the Millennium solar terms. When migratory birds such as Hongyan and Swallow fly south to avoid the cold, hundreds of birds begin to reserve dried fruits for the winter. It can be seen that the Millennium is actually a symbol of cold weather.

The mysterious bird is a swallow. It may be the totem of Shang. Legend has it that Zhu Die, the daughter of surname, swallowed a swallow and gave birth to the ancestor contract of Shang. According to Shan Hai Jing, Xuanniao is a four-winged bird with pale yellow feathers, likes to eat eagle meat and has a bad temper. It lives in Pingdingshan.

The explanation of "raising shame" is: storing food. "Yi Zhou Shu Shi Xun" said: "On the day of the Millennium, the geese come, on the fifth day, the mysterious birds return, and on the fifth day, the birds are ashamed." You Zhu once explained: "Those who raise shame, storing food for the winter, are ashamed of hiding treasures."
