Does it start to be autumn after the Beginning of Autumn? What does “No rain in the beginning of autumn is a empty autumn” mean?
The ancients regarded the Beginning of Autumn as an important moment between summer and autumn and always attached great importance to this solar term. But from the perspective of climatology, the Beginning of Autumn is not worthy of its name. So, does it start to be autumn after the Beginning of Autumn? What does “No rain in the beginning of autumn is a empty autumn” mean? The good and bad of the lunar calendar are different on different days. It is very important to choose the right time to do the right thing. So, let’s take a look at the good and bad days in the lunar calendar in June 2021.Interpretation of the Beginning of AutumnThe beginning of autumn occurs on August 7 or 8 every year when the sun reaches 135° of the ecliptic longitude.The "Li" in Li Qiu means beginning, and "Qiu" refers to the period when crops mature. The Beginning of Autumn marks the end of summer and the beginning of cool autumn. It is a solar term that reflects the season. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "Autumn means to gather, and things are gathered here." The Beginning of Autumn not only indicates that the hot summer is about to pass, but also that autumn is about to come. It also means that the plants are beginning to bear fruit and the harvest season has arrived. At this time, early rice is harvested and late rice is transplanted in central my country, and autumn crops enter an important growth and development period. The ancient Chinese divided the Beginning of Autumn into three stages: the first is the arrival of cool breezes; the second is the appearance of white dew; and the third is the chirping of cicadas. This means that after the beginning of autumn, people will feel cool when the wind blows, and the wind at this time is different from the hot wind in summer. Then, fog will appear on the ground in the morning, and the cicadas that chirp in the autumn when they feel the cold weather will begin to sing. Does it start to be autumn after the Beginning of Autumn?"Li Qiu" is the 13th solar term in the 24 solar terms, but "Li Qiu" does not mean the beginning of autumn.Because the 24 solar terms were established based on the climate and phenology of the Central Plains region in the Yellow River Basin, they are not very applicable to the entire country. Our country has a vast territory, and although the climate varies from place to place, most areas have not yet entered the autumn climate at this time. For example, in the Jianghuai area, we may have to wait until September. From the perspective of climatology, true autumn is defined as the time when the average temperature over five days drops below 22°C. What does “No rain in the beginning of autumn is a empty autumn” mean?Regarding the Beginning of Autumn, there are two sayings among the people: "Shun Qiu" and "Empty Autumn".If it rains on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, the temperature will drop quickly afterwards, and people call it "Shun Qiu". If it is sunny on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, the weather will continue to be hot and high after the Beginning of Autumn, so it is called "empty autumn". The saying “If there is no rain in the beginning of autumn, it is a wasted autumn” means the same thing. |
