Millennium is one of the key festivals. There are many traditional cultural customs. What do you mean by beating walnuts?

Millennium is one of the important festivals in China, and there are many traditional cultural customs in the Millennium solar terms. So is it autumn or winter now? What do you mean by beating walnuts? Will there be autumn tigers in the future?

Is the cold dew autumn or winter: autumn

Millennium is the third festival in autumn. "White dew" is a key solar term reflecting the change of average temperature in nature. The foundation of the Millennium solar terms has come to an end. The heat in summer is a turning point from hot to cold in autumn. In the cold dew season, autumn rain dries the water in the air while lowering the temperature, which is called "autumn dryness".

What does it mean to beat walnuts with white dew? Because this is the commitment period of walnuts.

Because the Millennium solar term is in September, it is the maturity of walnut kernel. There is also a saying that "cold dew and cold dew crack the belly of walnuts". When walnuts grow and develop to the cold dew season, the skin turns from green to yellow, and the top of some walnut skins will continue to crack, which is the performance of walnut maturity.

In the Millennium, the walnut kernel is full and fragrant, which is the right time. For eating walnuts, the perfect time for walnut kernels is nicknamed "Ten Perfect". There is a folk proverb: "White dew comes, bamboo sticks shake, and small walnuts run all over the street". The same is true for walnut growers all over the country to collect walnuts, which is generally called "beating walnuts".

Will there be autumn tigers after the Millennium? Some areas will continue to have them.

Generally speaking, the average temperature has just begun to decrease after the Millennium, but autumn tigers may still appear in some areas. Due to the vast territory of China, the main performance of "Autumn Tiger" is slightly different. For example, the autumn tiger in South China comes later than the autumn tiger in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is generally delayed by 2-4 solar terms.

In addition, the duration of manipulating tigers varies from ten days to two months every year; Sometimes the autumn tiger comes and goes, and comes and turns back. Although the average temperature of "autumn tiger" is high, it is generally dry and sunny, and it is not very hot in the morning, noon and evening, so it will not be too hot to breathe.
