Beginning of autumn is here, how long will it be hot? When will it come out? How powerful is the autumn tiger this year? On August 7th this year, the first 13 solar term in beginning of autumn and 24 solar terms will be ushered in. Its arrival heralds the end of this summer and the beginning of autumn.

Although it is the beginning of autumn, the weather is still very hot because it is still in the middle. Mid-middling begins on July 26th, lasts for 20 days, and ends on August 14. Therefore, after beginning of autumn, the weather is still hot, humid and sultry, but it will gradually cool down in the evening and morning.

Now in Weifang countryside, the autumn corn in the field has just headed and has not been pollinated. If the weather is cool at this time, it will seriously affect the growth of autumn grain, so hot days with high temperature and high humidity are most conducive to the growth of field crops. The last few days of this year began in August of 15 and lasted for 10 days. On August 25th, the whole dog days were over. This year's beginning of autumn belongs to late autumn, and the strength of the autumn tiger should not be underestimated. On our side, the weather with the highest temperature of 30℃ often happens, but the duration of a day is much shorter than that in dog days.

The ancients said that "heat is in dog days", which means dog days, and dog days are the hottest. Our dog days are coming. The so-called "summer solstice, three Geng numbers", that is, the third Geng day after the summer solstice, lies in the fourth Geng day, and the last Geng day is after the early autumn. Our beginning of autumn this year is August 7th, "Last night" is the first Geng Day after beginning of autumn, which is August15th, which is also the "Geng Day". According to the ancients, beginning of autumn is in the last stage, that is, "the autumn is in full swing". The so-called autumn is indifferent and calm; Autumn is full of tears, that is, when autumn is full of tears, it will last for a long time.

There is a saying in the ancients, "The autumn is crisp and the old cow is hot." And now, it is the hottest time. It is generally believed that the temperature will rise briefly after beginning of autumn, which is the so-called "autumn tiger". There is a folk saying called "Twenty-four Autumn Tigers", which means that a tiger often appears in the twenty-four days after beginning of autumn. In other words, from autumn to summer, and then to the Millennium, the weather will become very hot. This year is August 23rd, and this year is August 25th. Coupled with the phrase "autumn tiger 24", it will not be completely cooled down until September of this year!

What about the strength of our autumn tiger this year? Traditionally, autumn is divided into male autumn and female autumn. The so-called "public autumn" is the autumn in June of the lunar calendar. And "Mother Autumn" is the autumn in July of the lunar calendar. There is a saying among the people: "The public autumn will be lost, and the autumn mother will die of heat." In other words, if it is autumn, the weather in early autumn will be cooler in the future. But if it is mother's autumn, it means that the dog days after autumn are not only hot, but also the autumn tiger will be particularly fierce! In autumn, the weather is divided by men and women.

The autumn tiger after beginning of autumn will judge his own strength according to the difference of "male and female"! So, how do people distinguish the "male and female" of autumn tigers? The way people distinguish "autumn tigers" is very simple, that is, according to the "male and female" in autumn. If it is Gong Qiu, then the next autumn tiger is also called "Gong Qiuhu"; And if it is the autumn mother, then what we need to meet next is the "autumn mother tiger". This year, we met the autumn mother, so the autumn tiger is also the "mother", so, relatively speaking, our autumn tiger will be more fierce this year!

The 24 solar terms are not only about agriculture and meteorology. After thousands of years of development, the twenty-four solar terms have formed a profound cultural heritage with the efforts of our ancestors. Solar terms culture is the precious experience and wealth left by our ancestors!
