Crows are not all black.

Crows are not all black. It was the Millennium who guessed the solar terms.

Millennium is the15th solar term in the "twenty-four solar terms", and the third solar term in autumn is the end of the application of the moon in the lunar calendar and the beginning of the unitary month. "White dew" is an important solar term reflecting the growth of cold in nature. As the cold air turns to attack, it is sunny and hot during the day, but the temperature drops rapidly after the evening, and the temperature difference between day and night gradually widens.

After entering the Millennium solar terms, the summer monsoon is gradually replaced by the winter monsoon, and the cold air gradually moves southward frequently. In addition, the position where the sun directly touches the ground moves south, and the sunshine time in the northern hemisphere becomes shorter and the sunshine intensity weakens. At night, it is often partly cloudy and sunny, and the ground radiation dissipates quickly, so the temperature drop is gradually accelerated. There is a saying called "Qiu Qiu in a thousand years, it is cold all night."

Every year around September 7th, Gregorian calendar, when the sun runs to 165 sequence, it begins to enter the solar term of self-earthquake. At this time, the temperature began to drop, the weather turned cold, and the Yin qi gradually increased. The earthquake water in Jing Qing became more and more concentrated and condensed into a layer of white water droplets, so it was called Millennium. At this time, people will obviously feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived.

Millennium customs:

1, drink Bailu tea

The so-called "Bailu tea" refers to the tea picked in the Bailu season. "Spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, so you need tea and autumn dew". After two seasons of growth, this season's tea is very mature in all aspects, not only with high nutritional value, mellow fragrance, but also very resistant to soaking. Take a sip, which is very popular with tea lovers. Over time, there is a saying of "drinking Bailu tea".

Step 2 drink Bailu wine

"Drinking Bailu wine", also known as "sipping rice wine", is mainly popular in Xingning, Sandu and Liaojiang areas in Zixing, Hunan, China, and there is also the custom of brewing Bailu rice wine in some areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Bailu wine is a local "local wine", which is mainly brewed from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains. It is warm and slightly sweet, so it can be used to receive guests on this day.

In ancient times, after brewing Bailu wine, every household would seal it in a jar, bury it underground or store it in a cellar. It's the day of the Millennium, drinking with friends and relatives, and the wine is overflowing.
