Giving clothes in September comes from: "Guofeng·Binfeng·July" written by the pre-Qin Dynasty
In July, fire flows, and in September, clothes are given. On the first day, there is hair, and on the second day, the body is strong. Without clothes and brown, how can one die at this age? On the third day, he was in Shu, and on the fourth day, he raised his toes. My wife and I are enjoying the southern acres and the fields.
The fire flows in July, and the clothes are given in September. On a sunny day in spring, Cang Geng is heard singing. The woman holds the Yi basket, follows his subtle movements, and seeks the softness of love. The spring day is late, and I am picking Qi Qi. The woman's heart is sad, and she is almost as dead as the son.
Translation:
In July the fires fall to the west, and in September women sew cold clothes. The north wind blows strongly in November, and the cold air blows in December. How can I spend the end of the year without good clothes or rough clothes? In the first month, we started to repair the hoe and plow, and in the second month, we went to the fields to cultivate. He took his wife and children with him and delivered the rice to the land in the sun. The field officer was very happy.
In July the fire falls to the west, and in September women sew cold clothes. The spring sunshine is warm and the oriole sings gracefully. The girl carried a deep bamboo basket and walked along the path. Reach out to pick the tender mulberry leaves, the days are getting longer with the coming of spring. People came and went to pick the white mugwort, and the girl felt very sad, fearing that she would marry a nobleman in another country.
