Hey friends! It's the beginning of autumn soon, and this year it's August 7th. Are you also curious, why is the beginning of autumn this year?

At the beginning of autumn on August 7, the secret position of the sun is revealed, and the fate of crops is decided by it!

In fact, the time of the beginning of autumn is not arbitrary. It depends on the position of the Sun on the ecliptic. When the sun reaches 135° of the ecliptic longitude, it is the beginning of autumn.

In the past, our ancestors did not have those high-tech instruments, and relied on observing celestial phenomena and summarizing experience to judge the solar terms. Now it's different, with all kinds of advanced equipment, the time of the beginning of autumn can be calculated accurately.

Just like the beginning of autumn at 8:09 on August 7 this year, this is all scientifically calculated.

June and autumn are lost, and July and autumn are harvested".

Next, let's talk about the old saying "June and autumn are lost, July and autumn are harvested", what does this mean?

This is all about the time of the lunar calendar. Because the lunar calendar has a leap month, the time of the beginning of autumn is not very fixed, sometimes in June, sometimes in July.

If the beginning of autumn falls in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, it will be troublesome. At this time, the summer heat has not passed, and the cool autumn air has come, and the crops have suffered. They are growing and need to be hot, but as soon as the temperature drops, the growth will be affected, and the harvest may not be good, so it is called "June and Autumn Everything".

But if the beginning of autumn falls in the seventh lunar month, it will be beautiful! When the summer is extended, the crops can absorb the sunlight and accumulate nutrients, and in the autumn they can have a good harvest, which is called the "July and Autumn Harvest".

For example, last year, my neighbor's land caught up with the beginning of autumn in July, and the crops grew very well, and the harvest was very good.

In short, the time of the beginning of autumn and the old saying are exquisite. Let's learn more, have a number in our hearts, and look forward to having a full granary this year.

I hope that this year will be smooth and everyone will be happy to welcome the harvest!
