What season is the egret?

It should be the Millennium, and the Millennium is autumn.

The Millennium is one of the 24 solar terms, which falls between September 7th and 9th every year. The sun is at longitude 165.

The Millennium is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms. Every year in the middle of August (September 7th or 8th, Western calendar), when the sun reaches 165 degrees, it is the Millennium. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "August Festival ... Yin Qi is getting heavier and heavier, showing white." As the weather gets colder and colder, you will find many dewdrops on the ground and leaves in the morning, which is named after the water vapor condenses on them at night.

The ancients used four seasons with five elements, and autumn was golden and golden white, so white was used to describe autumn dew. After entering the "Millennium", I will feel a little cold at night. As the saying goes, "eighteen pots of summer heat, not exposed to the Millennium." These two sentences mean that it is still hot in summer, so you must take a bath with a basin of water every day. After eighteen days, in the new millennium, don't be shirtless and naked, lest you catch cold.

There is also a saying: "White dew and white fans, the autumn equinox is beautiful." This means that if there is dew before and after the white dew, the late rice will have a good harvest.

phenology,bioclimatology

After the Millennium solar terms, the autumn wind cools down and dries the moisture in the air. This dry climate is called "autumn dryness" in traditional Chinese medicine, and many people will have symptoms such as dry mouth, dry throat, dry eyes and dry skin. The Millennium climate is characterized by dryness. Millennium dew is a natural phenomenon.

At this time of the solar term, the sun is still hot during the day and the water vapor evaporates. As soon as the sun returns to the mountains, the temperature drops rapidly. At night, the water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water droplets, which are very densely attached to green stems and leaves or petals of flowers and trees. Even if the Millennium really gets cold, the Millennium has basically ended the sultry summer. Entering the "White Dew", the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it will feel a little cold at night.

weather

Around the Millennium, the residual heat of summer gradually disappeared, the sky and the earth rose and spread, the weather gradually turned cold, and the dew in the morning became thicker and thicker, condensing into a layer of white water droplets on the surface of grass leaves, which is also one of the names of the Millennium. The plants began to dew.

After entering the Millennium solar terms, the summer monsoon is gradually replaced by the winter monsoon, the cold air turns to attack, and the warm air gradually retreats. Cold air going south in batches will often bring a certain range of cooling. People like to use the proverb "it's cold in the autumn night in the white dew" to describe the situation that the temperature drops rapidly.
