What does it mean to eat pomegranate on August 15th?

In other words, pomegranate ripens around August 15 of the lunar calendar every year, which is only an approximate time for pomegranate to ripen. Actually, it is not accurate. It is more accurate to use solar terms than dates, and you can also use solar calendar dates. Every year, June 10 of the lunar calendar is probably the season when pomegranates are on the market in large quantities, but sometimes August 15 of the lunar calendar is more accurate than the solar calendar. Sometimes two festivals are at the same time, so the date according to the lunar calendar is not accurate, but according to the solar calendar is more accurate! Because the lunar calendar has a leap month every four years, and there are 365 days in a year, but the lunar calendar year is generally 354 days. Calculated by multiplying 29.5 days by 12 months, it is 354 days. The lunar calendar in China is derived from the gain and loss of the moon, because every 15 is a full moon day, but every month in the solar calendar is 30.5 days, so the solar calendar.

In fact, the 24 solar terms in China are opposite to the Gregorian calendar date. For example, the annual Gregorian calendar 10.08 is the cold dew in the 24 solar terms, which is the first working day of the National Day holiday, so the pomegranate is ripe before and after the cold dew!

Attached below are the jingles of the 24 solar terms:

Spring rain surprises spring and clear valley days, (beginning of spring, rain, fright, vernal equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain)

Busy summer is related to hot summer, (long summer, small full, busy, summer solstice, light summer, great summer).

Autumn dew and autumn frost, (beginning of autumn, Chushu, Bailu, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew and Chufrost)

Snow in winter, snow in winter, cold in winter! (beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, slight cold, severe cold)

In addition, 14- 16 days is a solar term instead of 15 days, sometimes there are 14 days or 16 days, because if 15 days is a solar term, then a year is/kloc-0. (The date corresponding to the solar calendar in the twenty-four solar terms is almost constant, and the maximum is 1 and the change of two days before and after. For example, the annual solar calendar1October 8 10 is a cold solar term, so we have to say that the solar calendar is indeed more accurate than the lunar calendar, except for the profit and loss of the moon, which is very accurate in terms of climate alone! The temperature and climate of a day in the solar calendar are almost the same from the perspective of farming. The specific temperature here is different, but the climate and season are the same. )
