Not long ago will be the long-standing Chinese Valentine's Day. The origin of the festival is well known to every household, and the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is also longed for by many people. However, this year's Chinese Valentine's Day also has an important neighbor, and that is "Beginning of Autumn", one of the 24 solar terms. Although the twenty-four solar terms seem to be rarely mentioned now, in ancient times, both national events and busy farming were closely related to the twenty-four solar terms. Even now, many places still use the twenty-four solar terms as indicators of busy farming. Beacon.

These solar terms are the precious crystallization of wisdom of the ancient working people. They not only affect daily production, but also contain astronomical climate. As a result, many folk proverbs related to solar terms were born, which are catchy to read. It happens that right after the Chinese Valentine's Day is the Beginning of Autumn, so today we will talk about the folk sayings related to the Beginning of Autumn.

This common saying goes: "When autumn begins early, it will be cool; when autumn begins late, it will be hot to death." It makes people laugh when they hear it, and the rural life style suddenly emerges, and the image is as vivid as yesterday. The two common sayings talk about the difference in weather before and after the beginning of autumn. Especially now, people can clearly feel that the temperature is hotter than in previous years. Especially during the late summer and early autumn, whether going out or eating, there is no air conditioning. Or if you use a fan, sweat will come out immediately.

It is not an exaggeration to say that today’s weather is like a steamer. Many people have begun to look forward to the arrival of the Beginning of Autumn, thinking that the temperature will drop when autumn comes. However, this year’s Beginning of Autumn seems to have disappointed everyone.

According to the saying, as long as the beginning of autumn starts early, the temperature will drop early. If the Beginning of Autumn is late, even if it is the Beginning of Autumn, it will still be hot for a while, and it is not ordinary hot, and the saying that autumn tigers are too hot to kill cows is not unreasonable. So how to define the morning and evening of the Beginning of Autumn? Although the ancients did not have today's advanced scientific instruments, after years of observation throughout the ages, they were often able to roughly determine that the temperature on the earth would change significantly during a certain period of time, and therefore divided the climate into twenty-four. This division even It also has a lot of guiding significance today.

The Beginning of Autumn is no exception. The ancients distinguished the early or late Beginning of Autumn based on the temperature change on the day of Beginning of Autumn. Usually, if the temperature starts to change in the morning of the Beginning of Autumn, it means an early Beginning of Autumn. On the contrary, if the temperature starts to change significantly in the afternoon, it means a late Beginning of Autumn. In addition to this judgment, there is another judgment based on the date of the lunar calendar. If the temperature change starts to be obvious in June, it means that the beginning of autumn is early, and in July, it means that it is late. However, it is already August this year. According to the second theory, it must be late for the beginning of autumn. According to the first theory, it remains to be seen.

However, observing the temperature trend in the past ten years, it is not difficult to find that the temperature is gradually rising every year, and this common saying is often not true. In some years, even if it meets the definition of early Beginning of Autumn, it is still very hot. In some years, even if it is Late Beginning of Autumn, it will cool down very quickly. Therefore, with the advancement of history, changes in human activities and subsequent changes in the environment, this proverb has become less accurate. Of course, this does not affect its use as a reminder and reference for changes in solar terms.

There are many other sayings related to solar terms, most of which come from the mouths of ordinary people, which provide valuable basis for ancient agricultural production. Although God sometimes deserts, it is undeniable that it has a great influence on the historical process. significant impact. Although most people living in cities rarely engage in farm work, for office workers, solar terms are more or less related to health preservation. Based on the natural laws of "spring birth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage", Chinese medicine has summed up the experience of "nourishing yang in spring and summer, and nourishing yin in autumn and winter". In addition, autumn is also the best time for morning exercises because the air is clear, the wind is cold and everything changes color.
