The meaning of the autumnal equinox season:

The arrival of the autumnal equinox indicates that autumn is getting stronger and stronger, indicating that most parts of China have entered a cool autumn, and then the temperature gradually drops and becomes colder.

The autumnal equinox is already an autumn solar term, and it is a transitional solar term. As soon as this solar term arrives, the temperature starts to get lower in many areas. When the cold air from the south meets the warm and humid air that gradually decays, the rainfall will take away the heat on the ground and lower the surface temperature. Therefore, the weather will gradually turn cold after the autumn equinox, and the temperature difference at night will gradually widen. After the autumnal equinox, the direct point of the sun began to enter the southern hemisphere from the equator, and the northern hemisphere began to have shorter days and longer nights, and the day began to be shorter than the night in a day.
