One level: day and night equally.
proverb says: "The autumnal equinox, the day and night are equally divided." is very easy to understand. By the autumnal equinox, around September 23, the sun has moved from the Tropic of Cancer to near the equator, and in the northern hemisphere, it has become cooler from the heat.
Especially on the autumnal equinox, the sun is exactly at the equator, the day is as long as the night, that is, the day and night are evenly divided. However, starting from the autumnal equinox, the day becomes shorter day by day, while the night gradually grows longer.
Two customs: Upright eggs and sacrifice to the moon
Autumnal equinox solar term, there are many traditional folk customs, such as flying kites, sending autumn cows, and sticking to the mouth of birds to protect the food. But there are two more prominent traditions, let’s take a look at them together.
One is vertical egg . As the saying goes, "The autumnal equinox is here, and the eggs are pretty." Just now, our sun reached the equator, and the day and night were evenly divided, and it was in a state of balance. It was a folk tradition. On the autumnal equinox, many children like to play the "upper egg" game, and of course they are inevitably a good meal.
The second is the custom of worshiping the moon . The old saying goes: "HTML from August to Mid-Autumn Festival, is particularly bright." In fact, when it comes to Mid-Autumn Festival, , the fifteenth day of August is the beginning of the autumnal equinox on the lunar calendar. At this time, it is the brightest and roundest time. People often have the traditional custom of worshiping the Moon Goddess on this day.
There are three types of autumnal equinox: sting insects, thunder begins to collect sound and water begins to dry up
One is sting insects, . When the autumnal equinox is approaching, the weather is getting cooler and cooler. Some insects hibernate in winter begin to hide in the soil, block the door with soil, and seal it up to prevent the cold wave from entering and ensure safe wintering.
Second, thunder begins to stop sound. On this day of autumn, day and night are equally divided. After that, the yin grows and the yang fades, the dark sky becomes longer and longer, the yin energy is strong, the thunder disappears, and the cold is coming.
The third season of water begins to dry up . In autumn, the north wind blows, which is dry and cold air. Often at this time, the autumn is clear, the sun is bright and the rain is very sparse. Therefore, some rivers, ditches and other water sources are in short supply and dry.
The saying goes: "White dew passes the autumnal equinox, and farming is busy." From the White Dew solar term to the autumnal equinox, people are busy harvesting and planting in autumn, smiling happily, and a scene of busy harvest.
