Is the Millennium late autumn or early autumn?

The Millennium belongs to the early autumn.

The arrival of the Millennium heralds the end of autumn and the beginning of Mid-Autumn Festival. As the weather gets cold, you will find many dewdrops on the ground and leaves in the morning. This is because water vapor condenses on it at night, so it is named Bailu. In reality, the Millennium actually indicates that the weather is getting cold, and it belongs to early autumn in season.

The climate is like spring. Not only are flowers and trees still flourishing, but some flowers are more colorful than spring, such as hibiscus mutabilis, begonia, mirabilis jalapa, Celosia cristata, brocade snake, etc. Especially the flowers in full bloom in the field are the beginning of the cool season, and the Millennium is also the solar term with the largest temperature difference between day and night throughout the year. As the saying goes, "It's cold in the white dew and hot in the daytime" and "It's cold in the white dew."

During the white dew, the summer monsoon is gradually replaced by the winter monsoon, and the cold air changes from defense to attack. In addition, when the direct point of the sun moves south, the sunshine time in the northern hemisphere becomes shorter, the light intensity weakens, and the ground radiation dissipates heat quickly, so the cooling speed gradually accelerates.

The customs of the Millennium

1, clear dew

China folks have the custom of "picking clean dew" in the Millennium solar terms. In Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded: "When the autumn dew is numerous, it is gathered on a plate and fried like rice, which makes people not hungry for many years." "The autumn dew on the head of a hundred herbs is collected when it is not embarrassing. The more sick you are, the thirst will be quenched, and people will be light and hungry. " The flower is exposed, which is a good color. Thus, dew-clearing has become the most special "ceremony" in the Millennium.

Step 2 drink Bailu tea

Bailu tea is tea picked in Bailu season. There is a folk saying that "spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, tea is needed, and autumn dew". At this time, after the summer heat, the tea tree is just another growth period before and after the Millennium. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea nor as dry and bitter as summer tea. It has a little too much flavor, giving people just the right feeling. Take a sip gently, and your lips and teeth will remain fragrant and full of sweetness, which is deeply loved by old tea customers.
