The period around the Beginning of Autumn is still the hottest time of the year. There is a saying among the people that "the hottest time of the year after autumn is so hot that people can die". So is it still hot at the Beginning of Autumn ? Will it be cooler at the Beginning of Autumn? In July, melons and fruits are fragrant, so we also call the seventh month of the lunar calendar the "Melon Month". Follow Mr. Shui Mo's website and let us learn more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2019!Is it still hot in the beginning of autumn?Answer: It will be hot for a while after the Beginning of Autumn. Since the Beginning of Autumn is still in the hottest days of summer, it will still be very hot for a while after the Beginning of Autumn. It will not be until the end of the hottest days of summer that the weather will gradually cool down.It will take some time after the beginning of autumn for the weather to slowly start to get cooler. There is a saying that goes "The sky and the earth will be hot 18 days after the beginning of autumn", which refers to the changes in weather conditions after the beginning of autumn. About 20 days after the beginning of autumn, we have entered early autumn and arrived at the second solar term in autumn - the End of Heat. At this time, the weather gradually turns cooler. Even if the daytime temperature is still above 30°, the temperature in the morning and evening will be very cool. Will it be cooler when the autumn begins?Answer: The Beginning of Autumn has arrived, but it does not mean that autumn has come. The Beginning of Autumn does not mean that the weather will become cooler.The climate is divided according to the "average temperature", that is, the local average temperature for 5 consecutive days is below 22℃, which is the real autumn season. China has a vast territory. Although the climate varies from place to place, most areas have not yet entered the autumn climate at this time. Moreover, the last of the hottest days of the year is on the third day after the beginning of autumn. Especially in southern China, it is still summer during this solar term. At the same time, as the typhoon rain season is gradually fading, the temperature is even hotter. Therefore, people call the period from the beginning of autumn to the autumnal equinox "Long Summer". Why do we eat watermelon during the Beginning of Autumn?In the south, there is a custom of "eating autumn melons on the first day of autumn". People eat more watermelons on this day of autumn to prevent autumn dryness, and it has become a custom over time."Capital Records" records: "The day before the beginning of autumn, eating watermelon is called "eating autumn." It also means welcoming the arrival of autumn. Around the beginning of autumn is the watermelon picking season in the Western Regions, so eating watermelons at the beginning of autumn is itself a way to try something new. According to the "Erban Qiuyu Zhai Sui Bi", women in the Western Regions choose the night of the beginning of autumn to go to the fields to touch melons, which is called "touching autumn". It may be related to the fact that the shape of the watermelon resembles a pregnant woman’s big belly, and the seeds inside the watermelon symbolize having a son. In our country's customs, "melon" is always closely related to breeding offspring. If one can touch a ripe melon during the autumn, it indicates that a girl will find a good husband and a woman will give birth to many sons. In order to ensure that good melons are touched, the melons are usually selected during the day and placed in a confirmed location, and then the women are allowed to "touch" them after nightfall. At this time, "touching the autumn" is like a divination activity. As watermelon cultivation expanded, city dwellers also began to observe eating watermelon during the Beginning of Autumn as a seasonal custom. To this day, people in the north still call eating melons at the beginning of autumn "touching autumn." As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
