If you want to know more exciting content, please visit Mr. Shui Mo’s website!The Origin and Customs of the White Dew Solar Termorigin:"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the eighth month... the yin energy gradually becomes heavier, and the dew condenses and turns white." As the weather gradually turns cooler, you will find many dewdrops on the ground and leaves in the early morning. This is because water vapor condenses on them at night, hence the name White Dew. The ancients matched the four seasons with the five elements. Autumn belongs to gold, and gold is white, so white is used to describe autumn dew. custom: King Yu is the legendary flood control hero Dayu, who is called "the God of Waterways" by fishermen on the shores of Taihu Lake. Every year on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qingming Festival, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and the White Dew Festival, incense ceremonies to worship King Yu are held here. Among them, the Qingming Festival and the White Dew Festival in spring and autumn are the largest, lasting for a week. The Etiquette of Naming the 24 Solar Terms♥“Li” means the beginning of the season. The Beginning of Spring, the Beginning of Summer, the Beginning of Autumn and the Beginning of Winter are collectively called the "Four Beginnings". In the Gregorian calendar, it usually falls around February 4, May 5, August 7 and November 7 every year. The "Four Beginnings" indicate the beginning of astronomical seasons. From a climatic point of view, it is generally still the previous season. For example, the Yellow River Basin is still in the depths of winter at the beginning of spring.♥“至” means extreme or most. The summer solstice and the winter solstice are collectively called the "two solstices", indicating the extremes of summer and winter. The summer solstice and winter solstice usually fall on June 21 and December 22 of the Gregorian calendar each year. During the summer solstice, the sun is directly above 23.5 degrees north latitude and 90 degrees ecliptic longitude, and the daytime in the Northern Hemisphere is the longest. On the winter solstice, the sun is directly above 23.5 degrees south latitude and 270 degrees ecliptic longitude, and the daytime in the Northern Hemisphere is the shortest. ♥“分” here means to divide equally. The vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox are collectively called the "two equinoxes", indicating that the day and night are equal in length. These two solar terms usually fall around March 20 and September 23 of the Gregorian calendar each year. During the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the ecliptic and the equatorial plane intersect.
