Introduction to Autumn
Traditionally, our country takes the "beginning of autumn" of the 24 solar terms as the starting point of autumn. The word "autumn" is composed of the words "grain" and "fire", which means the grain is ripe. After entering autumn, in nature, everything begins to grow from luxuriant to mature. Its climate begins to transition from rainy and humid in summer to drier and drier in autumn.
The four seasons in my country are often divided according to temperature changes, using the "climate average temperature" classification by modern scholar Zhang Baokun. According to the zonal average temperature method, there are two main criteria for determining the beginning of autumn. One is: if the daily average temperature for five consecutive days is between 10℃ and 22℃, it can be regarded as the beginning of autumn and becomes a "simplified standard"; the second is: 5 consecutive groups The sliding average temperature is below 22°C. A set of sliding average temperatures refers to the average temperature of the day plus the average temperature of the previous four days divided by 5 to obtain a 5-day sliding average temperature, which is a "sliding scale". Autumn is classified according to the temperature method, which means it is cooler. Autumn begins at the beginning of autumn. Entering autumn means that precipitation and humidity are at a turning point in the year, tending to decline or decrease; in nature, everything begins to grow from lush growth to fruitfulness and maturity. Autumn is harvest season, and many plants mature in autumn. In the autumn season, in nature, the yin and yang qi begin to change. The yang qi gradually recedes and the yin qi gradually grows. The climate turns from hot to cool. All things grow with the cold and gradually decline. This is the season of alternating heat and coolness.
Autumn Customs
Wearing autumn fat is a popular folk custom of weighing people on the day of Beginning of Autumn and comparing it with the weight of Beginning of Summer. The autumn breeze has whetted my appetite, and I want to eat something good to make up for the losses of summer. The way to make up for it is to "put on autumn fat": eat delicious delicacies, and of course meat is the first choice. The so-called "meat to put on fat".
Weighing water. In the old days, people filled containers of the same size with water before and after the Beginning of Autumn, and then weighed them. If the water before the Beginning of Autumn is heavy, it means there is heavy submerged water, and there will be less rain in autumn; if the water is heavy after the Beginning of Autumn, there will be more rain in autumn, which may lead to autumn floods.
Qiu Qiu, Qiu Qiu, also known as Qiu Qiu, is a custom of the Han people every year. That means eating melons in autumn. Tianjin pays attention to eating watermelon or cantaloupe on the day of Beginning of Autumn, which is called "biting autumn", which means that the hot summer is unbearable and it is the beginning of autumn, so bite it. Jiangsu and other places also eat watermelon on the Beginning of Autumn to "bite the autumn". It is said that autumn prickly heat can be avoided. In Zhejiang and other places, people eat watermelon and shochu together on the Beginning of Autumn, which is believed to prevent malaria.
Qiu She, Qiu She is also one of the customs of the Beginning of Autumn. Qiu She was originally a day to worship the earth god in autumn. It began in the Han Dynasty. Later generations set Qiu She on the fifth Wu day after the beginning of autumn, when harvests were harvested. After that, both the government and the people paid tribute to the gods on this day.
Moqiu, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, is the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this night, married women who have not yet given birth, accompanied by their sister-in-law or other female companions, go to the fields under melon stands and bean sheds to pick melons and beans secretly, hence the name Moqiu. It is said that if you touch a pumpkin, you are likely to have a boy; if you touch a lentil, you are likely to have a girl; if you touch a white lentil, it is more auspicious. In addition to giving birth to a girl, it is also a good sign of growing old.
Autumn Poems
If life is just like the first sight, why is the autumn wind sad to draw a fan.
When will spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do you know about the past?
After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather comes late in autumn.
The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow upward.
You asked about the return date but it has not yet been announced. The night rain in Bashan swelled the autumn pond.
There is a moon in Chang'an and the sound of thousands of households pounding their clothes.
The light of the lake and the moon are harmonious, and there is no windshield on the lake surface that has not been polished.
Plant one grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand grains in autumn.
When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom.
The autumn light of silver candles paints the screen coldly, and the small light fan flutters at the flowing fireflies.
