Has the weather turned colder?"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. Entering the White Dew season, you will feel a slight chill at night. Bailu is one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. It occurs when the sun reaches 165 degrees of the ecliptic longitude. Bailu is the third solar term in autumn, marking the end of Mengqiu and the beginning of Zhongqiu. Dew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to a drop in temperature. Therefore, Bailu actually indicates that the weather has turned cooler. As the saying goes, "Bath in a basin of water during the Beginning of Heat, and don't expose your body during the White Dew." These two sentences mean that it is still hot during the Beginning of Heat, so you need to bathe in a basin of water every day. After eighteen days, when the White Dew comes, you should not expose your body to avoid catching a cold. |
