When is the Millennium?

The Millennium is at 0: 00 on September 7th.

The Millennium is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms, which falls around the tenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Millennium is the third solar term in autumn, which means that the temperature drops gradually, the temperature difference between day and night increases, and the climate begins to turn cold. At this time, the cold air in the north began to go south and met the warm and humid air in the south, forming a thin layer of water vapor, which condensed into crystal clear dew hanging on the grass and leaves.

The Millennium is in autumn. When crops in the north enter the harvest season, the temperature in the south begins to drop gradually. Millennium is a symbol of cold weather and an important season for health preservation in autumn. There are many traditional customs and activities in the Millennium, such as eating Bailu tea, drinking Bailu wine and eating longan. Bailu tea refers to the tea picked in the Bailu season, which is delicious and nutritious.

Millennium development course

1, origin and establishment

Millennium, as a solar term, originated in ancient China. It first appeared in The Biography of Shangshu, and was called the "Millennium Moon". With the accumulation of ancient astronomy, meteorology and farming knowledge, the Millennium solar terms have been gradually established and become an important part of the 24 solar terms.

2. Climate and agriculture

The white dew season is in autumn, when the cold air in the north begins to go south and meets the warm and humid airflow in the south, forming a thin layer of water vapor, which condenses into crystal clear dew and falls on the grass and leaves, so it is called "white dew". Millennium solar terms reflect the change of natural temperature, which means that the heat in summer has passed and the coolness in autumn is coming.

3. Folk customs and traditions

The development of the Millennium is closely related to folk customs and traditions. In the Millennium season, there are folk customs such as drinking Millennium tea, eating longan and worshipping the land god. Eating longan is a custom in some southern areas, because longan has the effects of nourishing health, invigorating qi and strengthening spleen, and is suitable for eating in the Millennium.
