The folk activities of the Autumn 2022 (inventory) a

? The first thing that the beginning of autumn brings is the change of weather. From this day onwards, the sky is high, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and the temperature gradually drops, as the proverb says: the day of the autumn cool wind to, the morning set up the autumn, the night is cool. But the early and late autumn and a big difference, the so-called early autumn chilly, late autumn hot dead cattle, that is, to remind people can not be blindly optimistic about the autumn, sometimes after the autumn, there is (Autumn) tiger at a head. In fact, the biggest magic weapon of the autumn cooling is rain, a rain before and after the autumn, a wind before and after the white dew, which is the conclusion of people's long-term observation and summary.

? People are undoubtedly welcome to the autumn rain, raining people joy in the autumn, the rain in the summer, ten thousand people worry, in the usual case, the autumn and summer have a head of the formation, the three autumn weather more rain, not only rain, and sometimes thunder, which marks the autumn ringing thunder, a hundred days to see the frost. Autumn after every rainfall, the temperature also fell by a certain margin, an autumn rain a cold said that is here. But after the rain after the fall is also the case, the sign is the fall before the north wind right away rain, after the fall of the north wind without drops of water, the most direct consequences are also very obvious: no rain in the fall of Autumn, Autumn dry heat, Autumn rain fall fall.

? Autumn for the impact of farming is quite large. Ancient agricultural society, farmers on the degree of importance of the fall is no less than the festival. If the weather is sunny on the day of Autumn, the weather will be good and you can wait for a good harvest. Similarly, the early and late fall is also quite important, July fall kind of harvest, June fall kind of lost. Autumn after the rain is not more neglected, the rain in the autumn kind of harvest, the rain in the autumn, everyone is worried, because the rain in the autumn is empty autumn, half of all things traditionally collected.

? From this, autumn is still a harvest sign, the so-called autumn is not cool, the seeds are not yellow, autumn ten days all over the yellow, autumn eighteen days, inch grass are top, a golden autumn is coming. In this season, people calculate the most is farming: summer planted eggplants, eat eggplants in the fall; autumn buckwheat white dew flowers, cold dew buckwheat received home; autumn picking peppers, white dew to play walnuts, frost picking persimmons, winter to play the soft jujube, to enjoy the joy of harvesting at the same time, but also to master the rhythm of the work: July autumn slow yo-yo, June autumn fast refueling, autumn to take the hand, but also harvest three or five buckets. Not into the harvest period, after the fall also need to pay attention to: the first volts of sesame two volts beans, late corn planted after the fall; autumn cotton tube, the whole branch is not less; autumn sesame, the old dead do not blossom.

? Autumn also changed people's lives accordingly. Autumn is both the season of maturity and harvest, but also the human body Yang elimination of the transition period of yin and long, therefore, the fall health has never been an important content that people can not be ignored. The easiest thing to do is to set up an autumn, then throw the fan. Because an autumn rain a cold, so ten autumn rain to wear cotton. The sky is cool, should also pay attention to water white dew body is not exposed, less travel after the fall, people even think that the autumn wash the stomach, not long prickly heat diarrhea. In terms of diet and living, the ancients believe that the fall should be collected should not be dispersed, should bear in mind that autumn does not eat spicy, autumn does not eat the lungs; should also lie down early and early, with the chicken with the Xing, lie down early in order to comply with the convergence of the Yang Qi, early to make the lungs stretch, so that it is in line with the way of life in the fall.
