Introduction of Bailu solar terms

Millennium means that the weather is getting colder and colder. Millennium is an important festival reflecting the temperature changes in nature, basically ending the sultry summer, and it is a turning point from sultry to cool in autumn. The ancients used four seasons with five elements, and autumn was golden and golden white, so white was used to describe autumn dew. After entering the Millennium solar terms, the summer monsoon is gradually replaced by the winter monsoon, and the cold air goes south in batches, which often brings a certain range of cooling.

After a thousand years, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is crisp and the temperature difference between day and night is large. At night, you will feel a little cold, and obviously feel the arrival of cool autumn. "White dew" represents the end of the summer heat, and everything grows with the cold and gradually withers and matures.
