In the Millennium, the longitude of the sun is 165 degrees, which is around September 7 of the Gregorian calendar. At this time, the yin is getting heavier and the dew is white, so it is named Bailu. The Millennium is a typical autumn solar term. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the water vapor in the air often condenses into white dew on plants and other objects at night. As the saying goes, "After the White Dew Festival, the night is cold and the day is hot", which means that there is a great temperature difference between day and night when the White Dew is held.
