Extended information
Autumn is the beginning of autumn. The beginning of autumn is when the sun reaches 135 degrees longitude on August 7 or 8 every year. "Collection of the Seventy-Two Hours of the Moon Order": "On the July Festival, the word "Li" means spring (beginning of spring). Autumn means pulling, and things are pulled here."
The beginning of autumn generally indicates the heat. The summer is about to pass and autumn is coming. After the Beginning of Autumn (solar term), the next rain after autumn will bring coolness, so there is a saying of "one autumn rain and one cold". Cui of the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Four People's Monthly Orders": "At the beginning of autumn in the morning, it is freezing cold; at the beginning of autumn at night, it is extremely hot."
As early as the Zhou Dynasty, on the day of the beginning of autumn, the emperor personally led the three princes, nine ministers, princes and officials to the western suburbs To welcome autumn, a sacrificial ceremony is held. According to records, on the day of the Beginning of Autumn in the Song Dynasty, the palace had to move the parasol trees planted in pots into the palace. When the time of "Beginning of Autumn" came, the Taishi official would loudly report. After the performance, the phoenix tree dropped one or two leaves to signify autumn.
