Appreciation of Prose of Twenty-four Solar Terms

When the sun comes to the position of longitude 180, the autumnal equinox solar term arrives. If we look at the rising sun in the morning, we will find it in the east.

I can't help thinking of the vernal equinox and solar terms. Do you remember the position of the sun on the ecliptic at the vernal equinox? By the way, that's longitude 0. From March to September, from the vernal equinox to the autumnal equinox, on the orbit around the sun, our earth drew a beautiful and smooth semi-arc circle with a turning point of 180.

Naturally broken? But why are there so many exquisite things? Just like the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox, they are completely symmetrical and balanced: they are the same length of day and night, the same direct sunlight on the equator, the same sunrise in the east and the same sunset in the west ... When we look at the sun, we even wonder: What's the difference between spring and autumn?

Things in the universe sometimes don't allow us to think thoroughly.

In addition, there are many similar feelings in spring and autumn: the sun is slightly oblique, the temperature is suitable, and it is sunny and sunny.

In the book, spring and autumn are often mentioned together, aren't they: "Spring flowers and autumn moon", "Spring flowers and autumn fruits", "Spring plants a millet, autumn harvests ten thousand seeds" ... Think about it, what else?

However, the symmetry and similarity between spring and autumn are only what we see and feel, and they are essentially different.

Spring is warm and autumn is cold.

Spring is getting warmer and heat is accumulating, while in autumn, heat is losing and cold is approaching.

After the autumnal equinox, the balance is broken, the sun is further skewed, the nights are longer, the temperature is lower, and the cold winter is coming.

The difference between spring and autumn is that life is often born in spring and ends in autumn. From spring to autumn, it represents the cycle of life, representing the flight of time and the passage of time. However, life ends in autumn, but there is still hope. "Harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn" is actually another way to extend life. After the autumnal equinox, we will enter the vernal equinox again in half a year, and a new life will be born again.

One year, one spring and autumn, the prosperity and apoptosis of life go on and on forever.

Note: The autumn of 20 16 is divided into September 22nd at 22:2 1:05.
