Hey friends, it's the beginning of autumn on August 7th! The beginning of autumn is an important solar term.
Our old people here often say that there is a distinction between "open-eyed autumn" and "closed-eyed autumn" in the beginning of autumn.
This "open-eyed autumn" is that the time of the beginning of autumn is between 0 a.m. and 12 noon; "Closed Eyes Autumn" is between 12 noon and 24 midnight.
For example, when you open your eyes in the morning, it is "open eyes autumn", and when you close your eyes and sleep at night, it is "closed eyes autumn", is it easy to understand?
What time is the beginning of autumn this year on August 7th? I'll tell you, it's 8:09:01, which is in the morning category, so this year is "Eyes Open".
So what is the sign of this "autumn with open eyes"? Our ancestors left a lot of agricultural proverbs.
For example, "Open your eyes in autumn, the valley heaps hills". It means that if it is "autumn", the grain harvest is very good, and the barns are piled up to the brim, like a small hill.
Another example, "Open your eyes in autumn, harvest or not, just look at June 26". Why? It is said that the weather on June 26 is a good indication of the harvest that follows. If the sun is shining on this day, then the "open eyes autumn" will bring a good harvest; If it rains on this day, it may be a bit hanging.
These agricultural proverbs are all observed and summarized by the ancestors for many years.
Although technology is advanced now, sometimes it is really accurate.
Just like "open eyes autumn, rain is thick", which means "open eyes autumn" year, the rain may be more abundant. This is a good thing for the crops, because with the rain, the crops can thrive.
