As time goes by, we are about to usher in the autumnal equinox solar term among the twenty-four solar terms. The autumnal equinox is a magical day. On this day, the sun will reach 2180 degrees of champagne and directly hit the equator of the earth. Therefore, in many places on the earth, the day and night are equally divided in this day, that is, 12 hours each day. After the autumnal equinox, the day in the northern hemisphere will gradually shorter than the night, and the day in the southern hemisphere will gradually grow longer than the night. There are also many old sayings about the autumnal equinox, among which "the autumnal equinox is early and the month is late" is just a sentence. So what does this sentence mean?
"Early autumnal equinox, late month"
There is an early autumnal equinox, late autumnal equinox, and early autumnal equinox refers to the time of the autumnal equinox solar term before the You hour, and late autumnal equinox is after the You hour. The autumnal equinox, the word "dividing" is the essence of this solar term. Autumn, day and night will be divided equally on this day. If the autumnal equinox is early, it means that the autumn weather will be very hot, and if it is late, it means that the autumn weather will be very cool. The meaning of this common saying is that according to the lunar calendar, the earlier the autumnal equinox arrives, the earlier the weather enters the colder the time, and vice versa.
Natural phenomena and climate characteristics of the autumnal equinox
Once the autumnal equinox is reached, it means that the weather is slowly getting colder, and there are also many natural phenomena on this day. The first phenomenon is that the time during the day and at night is the same. The second phenomenon is that if you stand at a special point, the 45-degree north latitude line, at which the height of the object is as long as the shadow. The third phenomenon is that if it is a life or object located on the equatorial line, no matter how it moves under the sunlight, you will not find your own shadow.
The climate on this day will slowly drop below 22℃, and the rainy season will slowly pass. The climate at this time is very comfortable. People who are as hot as summer can't breathe, nor will they feel cold like winter can't feel cold, but they will feel particularly comfortable. They will not feel cold when wearing short sleeves and long sleeves. This is the best time to travel.
This year's autumnal equinox is different, what's different?
This year's autumnal equinox is on the 28th of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. The solar term festival is at Si, which means that this year's autumn is very hot. Those who are interested will find that the hot situation this year has lasted for a long time. This is because during the festival, the upcoming air conditioner is suppressed. This year's autumnal equinox came relatively late because it was at the end of August and its climatic characteristics were covered by summer, so it was different from the autumnal equinox in previous years, which made this year a year of short autumn. If we look at it in terms of strength, this year's autumnal equinox belongs to the early autumnal equinox, but if we look at it in terms of time, it will belong to the late autumnal equinox.
"Before the autumnal equinox in the moonlight, it must be the year of disaster."
Because this year's autumnal equinox is special, there are also some other proverbs, such as this sentence. The moonlight in this sentence refers to the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means that if the Mid-Autumn Festival is before the autumnal equinox, there may be food shortage, so it is said that it is the year of disaster. When the climate arrives first and the solar term has not yet arrived, the cold air will come early, and the crops will not be able to absorb sufficient sunlight during the day, and they will not be able to mature at the established time. The harvest time will also be delayed with the maturity of the crops. However, if the delay time is long, the northern region may catch up with rain and snow, which will affect the crops and be unfavorable to the harvest of crops, and naturally there will be a saying that it is a disaster year.
However, the real situation is not that serious. After all, this is just a saying in the past. The climate has changed today. In addition, we have modern science and technology methods, which can well ensure our grain output.
solar term was created by the unique wisdom of the people of our country. When there was no equipment for weather surveying in ancient times, the working people of our country summarized this set of solar terms. The purpose is to hope that they can calculate the planting and harvest time of crops based on the solar term, so that they can work for a year and get a good result.This solar term has indeed given farmers a lot of help, and it still plays a great role today. Now the autumnal equinox is coming soon, and there are many activities on the autumnal equinox, such as eating dumplings, sticking to the mouth of birds, and flying kites to send autumn cows. There are countless agricultural proverbs about the autumnal equinox, and the few mentioned in the article are just the tip of the iceberg.
This year's autumnal equinox was on September 23. As the climate continues to deteriorate, the climate this year is likely to be as cold as last year, with the characteristics of cold at both ends and warm in the middle, which may also make winter longer and may also lead to no spring next year. But what will happen? We need to observe again. Next week is the autumnal equinox. Are you ready to enter a cooler period? What else do you know about the autumnal equinox?
