Why is the Millennium called the Millennium?

Why is the Millennium called the Millennium?

Why is white deer called white deer? There are 24 solar terms in a year, and each solar term has its own weather and climate characteristics. There are some solar terms, such as eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter, and each solar term is different. Let's see why white deer is called white deer.

Why is Bailu called Bailu 1 Bailu is one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar.

When the sun reaches 165 degrees, it is the Millennium solar term. Millennium is the third solar term in autumn, marking the end of Qiu Meng 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. At this time, people will obviously feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived. The temperature difference between day and night can reach more than ten degrees.

Why is it called white deer?

Yang Qi reached its peak in the summer solstice, and these two extremes must be reversed, and Yin Qi also rose at this time. When it comes to the White Dew, the yin gradually increases, and the morning dew gradually thickens and condenses into a layer of white water drops, so it is called the White Dew.

I. Meteorological characteristics

After plants began to have dew entering the Bailu solar term, summer monsoon was gradually replaced by winter wind, cold air turned to attack, and warm air gradually retreated. Cold air going south in batches will often bring a certain range of cooling. People like to use the proverb "it's cold in the autumn night in the white dew" to describe the situation that the temperature drops rapidly.

At this time, the precipitation in northern China is obviously reduced, and the autumn is crisp and dry. During this period, the first autumn rain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can often alleviate the previous water shortage. However, if the cold air meets a typhoon, or the cold and warm air are evenly matched, the two sides are in a dilemma, and heavy rain or low temperature and continuous rain are not good for the growth of autumn crops.

Continuous rainy weather often occurs in the eastern part of Southwest China, South China and West China. There may be heavy rain caused by tropical weather system (typhoon) in the southeast coast, especially in the south China coast.

In addition, autumn drought, forest fire and first frost may also occur in some areas at this time. If the summer droughts in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, West China and South China are not nourished by autumn rain, summer and autumn droughts may all form.

There is a proverb that says, "There is no drought in spring, and the drought in autumn is halved. Building houses in spring drought and breaking grain in autumn drought. " In some northern areas, such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, North China and other places in the northwest, autumn precipitation is inherently less. If severe autumn drought occurs, it will not only affect the harvest of autumn crops, but also delay the sowing and emergence growth of autumn sowing crops and affect the harvest of the following year.

In addition, with the autumn drought, especially the dry air and the increasing wind in mountainous forest areas, the forest fire risk in autumn began to enter a period of high incidence.

Second, the weather precautions

1, add clothes in time in the morning and evening.

There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "the Millennium is divided into autumn nights, and it is cold all night", which means that after the solar term of the Millennium, you can no longer go shirtless when you wear clothes.

In addition, the weather is changeable after the Millennium, especially the large temperature difference between morning and evening, which is easy to induce colds or lead to the recurrence of old diseases. If you are gluttonous and afraid of cold at this time, it is easier to make the spleen and stomach function abnormal and damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, especially those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should avoid eating.

2, pay attention to nutrition, moistening the lungs and moistening dryness.

Millennium is the solar term with the largest temperature difference between day and night throughout the year. After the Millennium, the temperature began to drop, the weather turned cold and the water vapor condensation on the ground began to increase. After the Millennium, people are prone to dry mouth, dry lips, dry throat, dry skin and other symptoms, which is a typical "autumn dryness."

The diet in the Millennium season should be based on invigorating the spleen and moistening dryness, and should eat things that are flat, sweet and warm, and should eat nutritious and digestible food. We should not eat too full, so as not to increase the burden on our stomach and lead to gastrointestinal diseases.

Don't be greedy when sleeping at night.

The Millennium is a solar term, indicating that the weather is getting cold. Although the temperature can still reach more than 30 degrees during the day, it will still be cold at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. If it rains, the temperature will drop more obviously. Therefore, we should pay attention to adding clothes and quilts in the morning and evening, and don't be topless and greedy when sleeping. The so-called "don't show your body in the white dew, remind you in the morning and evening" just illustrates this truth.

Why is the white dew called white dew 2 white dew weather?

Millennium is the fifteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and the third solar term in autumn. The Millennium usually falls on September 7-8 of the Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 165 degrees. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "The Millennium August Festival. Autumn is golden, golden and white, the yin is getting heavier and heavier, and the dew is white. " Therefore, the word "white" in the Millennium actually does not mean that the color of dew is white, but comes from the ancient concept of yin and yang and five elements.

Millennium is a solar term related to temperature among the 24 solar terms. It is said that one day of the Millennium is the day with the largest temperature difference between day and night in a year. But statistically speaking, this statement may be accurate only in some parts of the north, but for most parts of China, the temperature difference between day and night before and after the Millennium is indeed a relatively large period. Therefore, as the saying goes, "Don't show your face in the Millennium in the summer." In short, before and after the Millennium, autumn is getting stronger and the weather is getting colder, so you should start to pay attention to adding clothes.

During the Millennium, there was a great difference in rainfall between the north and the south of China. There is usually little rain in the north, the weather is dry and the autumn is crisp. On the one hand, it affects people's health, on the other hand, it also affects agricultural activities, and more attention should be paid to arson and drought relief. In the south of China, it is rainy. Especially if the cold air and typhoon are deadlocked, it is easier to form continuous heavy rainfall, which is very unfavorable to agricultural activities.

Millennium customs

1, eat longan

There is a traditional custom in Fuzhou, Fujian called "longan must be eaten for thousands of years". In the Millennium, longan is sweet and delicious, so it is better to eat longan at this time.

2. Pick ten white people

In Wenzhou, Cangnan and Pingyang, Zhejiang, there is a folk custom of "picking ten whites". People seize the solar term of "White Dew" and collect ten kinds of Chinese herbal medicines with the word "white" in the fields, such as cogongrass rhizome, hibiscus flower and white hair bitter, which correspond to the shape and name of "White Dew", and then use them to cook stewed black-bone white-haired chicken or duck, so as to achieve the effects of nourishing the body and removing qi.

3. Dedicated to Yu Wang

Millennium is also the day when Taihu people "sacrifice to Yu Wang". Yu Wang is the legendary hero of water control, Dayu, and the fishermen on Taihu Lake are called "Waterway Bodhisattvas".

After a thousand years, fish fat crab fat crab fat. In order to have a calm lake when fishing, every year, on the eighth day of the first month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the seventh day of July and the Millennium, incense ceremonies will be held for Yu Wang.

Step 4 brew Bailu wine

The custom of brewing Bailu rice wine in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. In the old days, Bailu went to the rural areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and every family made wine to entertain guests. Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains, which is slightly sweet, so it is called "Bailu rice wine".

Step 5 drink Bailu tea

There is also the custom of drinking white deer tea in some areas of our country. After the intense heat, the Millennium is the best time for tea tree growth. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor as dry and bitter as summer tea, but it has a unique sweet and mellow taste, which is especially loved by old tea customers.

Step 6 eat sweet potatoes

In Wencheng, people think that eating sweet potatoes with white dew can prevent the stomach acid from rising after eating sweet potatoes and shredded sweet potatoes all the year round, so in the old society, farmers used to eat sweet potatoes on the White Dew Festival. Chinese medicine believes that sweet potato is sweet and flat, and it can replenish spleen and qi. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that sweet potato has the effect of "tonifying deficiency and benefiting qi, invigorating stomach and kidney yin", which makes people "live longer and get sick less".

White deer health guide

1, "The millennium is coming! The first thing is to raise lungs! "

Chinese medicine believes that "nourishing the liver in spring, nourishing the heart in summer, nourishing the lungs in autumn and nourishing the kidney in winter". The lung is the most delicate organ of the human body. After beginning of autumn, the weather has gradually become dry, and it is easy to hurt the lungs, especially for the elderly. If you hurt your lungs because of autumn dryness, you will be easily infected with many lung diseases in winter. Autumn is the best time to nourish and moisten the lungs. Keep your lungs well, and your kidneys will be full and sick in winter.

2. What will you eat after the Millennium?

Zhang Jingyue, an ancient physician, said: "Spring is liver-oriented, summer is heart-oriented, long summer is spleen-oriented, autumn is lung-oriented, winter is kidney-oriented."

The diet and health care of the whole solar term should focus on clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the middle energizer, so Chinese medicine has the saying that "summer (clear) tonifies the heart and long summer (light) tonifies the spleen".

China has always had the custom of "tonic in autumn", but it is best to regulate the spleen and stomach before tonic.

At this time, people's spleen and stomach are already very weak. If you eat something cold, it will only "add fuel to the fire" and cause diarrhea. So after the summer, watermelon should basically quit the "historical stage".

It is advisable to eat something sweet or sweet, and it is advisable to eat nutritious and digestible food.

Avoid foods that are cold and easy to hurt your temper, foods that are thick and greasy and easy to hinder the function of transporting and transforming your temper, and foods that are easy to hurt your temper.

Eat more: japonica rice, indica rice, corn, coix seed, sweet potato, tofu, etc.

Millennium solar terms, autumn is getting stronger. Finally, we have to bid farewell to the scorching summer sun and usher in the autumn when the wind is light and the clouds are light and the sky is high.

This is also the solar term with the largest temperature difference between day and night throughout the year. Everyone should adjust the diet structure at any time with the change of solar terms, change clothes frequently, make reasonable supplements and strengthen physical exercise.

3. nourish yin in the Millennium.

The Millennium is the Millennium. According to the law of yin and yang and five elements, autumn belongs to gold in the five elements, and the color is white, so white mainly refers to autumn; Dew means "Yin Qi is getting heavier, and dewdrops are condensed into white", which means that Yin Qi is getting heavier at this time of autumn, and dewdrops can be seen on the leaves on the roadside in the morning.

There is a proverb called "After the Millennium Festival, the night is cold and the day is hot", which means that there is a great temperature difference between day and night during the Millennium. As the old saying goes, "Millennium solar terms don't show up, they will be reminded sooner or later." Remind people that although it is mild during the day, it is already cold in the morning and evening, and it is easy to catch cold when going shirtless.

4. Millennium Movement, combining static and dynamic.

Morning is the best time for exercise. At this time, the climate is pleasant, the sky is crisp and the exercise is suitable. You can choose different sports to exercise according to your personal situation, such as mountain climbing, playing Tai Ji Chuan and swimming. Long-term persistence can enhance cardiopulmonary function and make the biological clock naturally transition to the next solar term. While doing the above exercises, you can also cooperate with some "static exercises" to achieve the combination of dynamic and static, and the dynamic and static are harmonious.

5, the Millennium is not exposed, and the cold dew feet are not exposed.

There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "white dew is not exposed, cold dew is not exposed", which means that after the solar term of white dew, you can't go shirtless when you wear clothes. Especially the old, the weak and the sick, we should pay more attention to adding and subtracting clothes with the change of temperature, and it is best to take a coat when going out.

The fabric is made of silk, pure cotton or blended fabric, which is cool and dry. Also pay attention to keep your waist, abdomen and knees warm, and don't "deliberately" expose your back and navel. Close the window at night, put on long-sleeved clothes to sleep, and put a thin quilt at the bedside. Because the yin rises and the yang falls after the "white dew", the clothes can be thinner, thinner and not exposed, and properly "frozen in autumn".
