What vegetables are suitable for the Millennium solar terms?

The vegetables eaten in the Millennium solar terms are: sweet potato, cauliflower, carrot, lotus root, pumpkin, Tricholoma, taro, water bamboo, water chestnut and so on. Millennium is the15th solar term in the "twenty-four solar terms", and the third solar term in autumn is the end of the application of the moon in the lunar calendar and the beginning of the unitary month. "White dew" is an important solar term reflecting the growth of cold in nature.

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 Millennium basically ended the sweltering heat in summer, and the weather gradually turned cold, and the cold gave birth to dew condensation. The ancients used four seasons to match five elements. Autumn belongs to gold, gold and white alternate with each other, and autumn dew is described in white, hence the name "White Dew".

According to the observation of nature, the ancients in China divided the Millennium into three stages: "When the geese come, the mysterious birds return, and the birds are ashamed." This means that in this solar term, migratory birds such as Hongyan and Swallow fly south to avoid the cold, and hundreds of birds begin to store dried fruit food for the winter. At present, farmers are also busy harvesting crops. As the saying goes, "If you grab autumn, you will lose it." During the Bailuyuan period, local folk customs mainly included offering sacrifices to Dayu, brewing grain wine and drinking Bailuyuan tea.
