Reading guide: "The beginning of autumn in the morning is cool, and the beginning of autumn in the afternoon is like a steamer", what does it mean? Where is the beginning of autumn this year?
Time flies really fast, since entering the dog days after the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and now we have officially entered the hottest mid-volt period, generally in the middle of the volt contains two solar terms: one is the "great heat", the second is the "beginning of autumn", now we are in the great heat solar term, which also means that we are about to enter the beginning of the autumn solar term, in the "calendar taboo interpretation" recorded: "What is the volcane? The name of "Jinqi is hidden", which means that "Fu" is the day when Jinqi is hidden, where "Jinqi" refers to the breath of autumn.
The beginning of autumn is a solar term immediately after the great heat, and it is also the first solar term of autumn, and "the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, the beginning of winter" and called "four stands", and it is also one of the "four seasons and eight festivals" in ancient times. The beginning of autumn is often held on August 7 to 9 of the solar calendar every year, and there are two specific ways to judge:
According to astronomical conventions, the starting point of the measurement of the ecliptic longitude is the vernal equinox, that is, from the vernal equinox to the east from the vernal equinox, which is 360°. This means that when the Sun moves along the ecliptic from the vernal equinox, its position can be represented by the ecliptic longitude. The 360° of the ecliptic longitude of the sun is divided into 24 equal parts, each equal part is 15°, and every 15° corresponds to a solar term, so when the sun reaches the ecliptic longitude of 135°, it is the beginning of autumn.
This method is one of the methods of the ancients to judge the solar terms, the Big Dipper, also known as Doukui, Dou Dipper, is one of the most significant stars in the sky of the Northern Hemisphere, by the Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Shaking Light These seven stars are combined, its shape is similar to a spoon, its position will change with the rotation and revolution of the earth, the ancients also formally captured this feature, and combined it with the solar terms.
In the "Crane Crown· Circulation" it is recorded: "The bucket handle points to the east, and the world is spring; The bucket handle refers to the south, and the world is summer; The bucket handle refers to the west, and the world is autumn; Bucket handle north finger, the world is winter", it is through this method, the ancients can accurately calculate the arrival time of each solar term, the beginning of autumn is the first solar term of autumn, when the handle of the Big Dipper points to the southwest, that is, "Shen position", we officially enter the beginning of autumn, so the beginning of autumn often in the earth branch "Shen Yue" begins.
The beginning of autumn, all things tend to mature, mentioned in the "Almanac": "The beginning of autumn, the yin will come out of the ground to kill all things, according to the autumn instructions, the valley is ripe", which means that into the beginning of autumn, the yin energy of the summer "dormant" begins to rise from the ground, and all things begin to mature. Of course, at this time, the crops are not yet mature, but in the critical filling period, as the old saying goes, "autumn is not hot, grain is difficult to harvest", when the accumulated temperature is insufficient, it will directly affect the grain filling process of crops, resulting in the grain is not full, and the weight of 1000 grains is reduced.
There are many similar agricultural proverbs, such as:
"There is no rain in the beginning of autumn, and there is rain in the beginning of autumn to harvest half autumn"
"The beginning of autumn is cloudy for several days, and the farmers are worried"
"The beginning of autumn is big, and the ten days are yellow everywhere"
Of course, it is not that the rain in the beginning of autumn is bad, after all, the rain can provide the necessary water for crops, but it is not suitable for several days of continuous rainy days, which will lead to a drop in temperature, insufficient accumulated temperature of crops, and a decrease in photosynthesis, which will affect the filling of crops. Of course, for arid areas, it is good to rain on the day of the beginning of autumn, after all, there is a saying that the rain in the beginning of autumn is "Shunqiu", which indicates that the wind and rain are smooth and the grains are abundant.
When we think of "autumn", we will think of the scene of cool breezes, but the beginning of autumn does not mean that the hot weather is over, because the beginning of autumn is still in the dog period, and it has not yet come out. Usually, the weather gets cooler after the second solar term of autumn. There is also at least "one volt" of hot weather after the beginning of autumn, that is, the so-called "late autumn".
As the old saying goes, "there is a volt in the beginning of autumn, and the tiger comes to report", in which the "tiger" refers to the "autumn tiger", which is a phenomenon of autumn weather warming, which is due to the subtropical high pressure after the southward retreat again controls the Jianghuai and nearby areas, forming sunny weather conditions and strong sunlight for days, resulting in hot and humid weather, cool in the morning and evening, and high temperature exposure in the afternoon.
"Autumn Tiger" will come as scheduled every year, but its duration is not long, generally in a week to half a month or so, individual years will last about a month, the way to judge whether the "Autumn Tiger" came is very simple, when entering the autumn after 5 consecutive days of the maximum temperature above 35 °C, it means that it has entered the "Autumn Tiger" period.
In ancient times, there was no weather forecast, the ancients summed up some experience in observing the weather through long-term agricultural production, and used these experiences to speculate on the future weather trend, so as not to deal with the change of weather in advance. Where is the beginning of autumn this year?
The beginning of autumn in the morning is cool, and the beginning of autumn in the afternoon is like a steamer
According to the experience of the ancients, if the time of the autumn festival is in the morning, then it is "early autumn", indicating that the autumn cool comes earlier, correspondingly, the "autumn tiger" lasts for a relatively short time; The time of the beginning of the autumn festival is in the afternoon, then it is the "late beginning of autumn", indicating that the "autumn tiger" will last for a long time, and you can feel steamed and boiled when you go out, as if you are in a "steamer".
Where is the beginning of autumn this year? This year is the year of 2024, and the handover time of the beginning of autumn is 9:01 on August 7, that is to say, the beginning of autumn will be handed over at about 9 o'clock in the morning, which is obviously an "early beginning of autumn", according to our ancestors, this year is the year of "morning beginning of autumn and cool and fluttering".
First, the male autumn is hot, and the female autumn is cool
According to our ancestors, everything in the world can be divided into yin and yang, including numbers, like the singular number represents "yang", the double number represents "yin", and yin and yang are opposite to the "male and female", therefore, the singular number is "yang", and the even number is "yin".
As the old saying goes, "the male autumn is hot, the female autumn is cool", which means that if the beginning of autumn is a "male autumn", then the autumn will be hotter, and the momentum of the "autumn tiger" will be more sufficient; If it is a "mother autumn", then the autumn will be cooler, and the momentum of the "autumn tiger" will be relatively weak.
Observe the beginning of autumn is "male" or "female", it depends on whether the lunar calendar day on the day of the festival is odd or even, this year's beginning of autumn on August 7, corresponding to the fourth day of the seventh lunar month, in which the number "4" is an even number, therefore, this year's beginning of autumn is a "cue ball", indicating that the autumn will be cooler.
Second, the heat in the middle is impermeable, and the heat is after the beginning of autumn
Now we are in the middle of the period, we can also observe the weather trend of the middle of the volcanic to judge whether it is hot after the beginning of autumn.
According to the experience of the ancients, if the middle is not hot enough, then it will be very hot after the beginning of autumn, which is due to the fact that if the heat is not hot enough, the heat has not been completely released, and the heat will be released together with the beginning of the autumn, resulting in the weather after the beginning of the autumn will be very hot, which is really in response to the old saying that "the heat is not hot, and the adult scene".
According to our ancestors, this year's beginning of autumn will be cooler, and the duration of "autumn tiger" will be relatively short, it is recommended that we observe the weather trend of Zhongfu in the near future, if Zhongfu is not hot enough, the beginning of autumn may also usher in drought, after all, the agricultural proverb is the experience of the ancients, we should take it as a reference, as for whether this year's autumn is cool, let's wait and see!
The weather in Zhongfu is hot, everyone should pay attention to heatstroke and sun protection, in addition, do you hope that the hot spot in the beginning of autumn is better or cooler? Welcome to discuss.
