Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the middle of September, and it has entered mid-autumn, and in this month, there is a solar term that is very important, that is, the autumn equinox. The autumn equinox, the 16th of the 24 solar terms, is also the 4th solar term of autumn, listening to its name, we know that the autumn equinox is divided into day and night, and it is also divided into autumn.
When it comes to the autumn equinox, we can clearly feel that the weather is not so hot, especially in the morning and evening, the weather will be cooler, and most of the crops at this time have entered the mature harvest period. We also have to harvest in time and not delay farming.
The 24 solar terms are quite important in ancient times, even now, rural people, will still use it to guide the production of agriculture, which is also a crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, it is formed by people according to the solar anniversary to recognize the laws and changes of weather, climate and phenology.
If you are more familiar with the lunar season, you will find that in each solar term, the beginning of the month is the festival, and the middle of the month is the qi, and their division is not based on the beginning of the lunar calendar of each month, but with the festival as the beginning, for example, the beginning of spring is the festival, and the rain is the air.
Each solar term has its own characteristics, such as Sili, which represents a change of season, and the small summer and big summer heat, which represents a change in temperature, such as rain and white dew is a phenomenon that reflects the weather, and the spring equinox and autumn equinox represent the change of day and night. When the autumn equinox arrives, the crops have begun to ripen, the temperature has begun to drop, and people are busy harvesting at this time.
What are the characteristics of this year's autumnal equinox? On the autumn equinox on September 22, the old man said that this year is "the late autumn equinox, and the cold winter is spent in single clothes", what does it mean? Let's take a look.
This year is the late autumnal equinox
To judge the morning or evening of the autumn equinox, we look at its specific time, which is not simply looking at the morning or afternoon or evening, but looking at the front or back of the unitary time. The autumn equinox is the 24th solar term and the middle of August, and the time of its junction is in the unitary time. If it is before the unitary time, it is called the early autumn equinox, and if it is after the unitary time, it is called the late autumn equinox.
The specific time of unitary time is from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., which corresponds to 17 p.m. to 7 p.m., which corresponds to the modern time, and the chickens begin to return to the nest.
The time of the autumnal equinox in 2024, the specific time of the autumnal equinox in 2024 is 20:43:27 on September 22, and we can see that this time happens to be after the unitary time, so we can also call it the late autumnal equinox directly.
As the old saying goes, "late autumn equinox, single clothes through the cold winter", this is obviously an exaggerated statement, which means that if the autumn equinox comes later, then the subsequent weather will be warmer, and we can spend the cold winter wearing single clothes, indicating that this winter, the weather with heavy snow and ice will be relatively rare, and it is a typical warm winter.
In addition, this year's autumn equinox is after the Mid-Autumn Festival
This year's autumn equinox is on September 22, and the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival is on September 17, which is obviously before the Mid-Autumn Equinox, so what is the meaning of this?
As the old saying goes, "The autumn equinox is at the end of the month, and you will break your leg in the coming year; Before the moonset and autumn equinox, it must be a disaster year; After the Mid-Autumn Festival and autumn equinox, the cold is everywhere. ”
From here, we can also see that if the Mid-Autumn Festival is before the autumn equinox, it is easy to have a disaster year, that is, the weather, it is not cold when it should be cold, and it is not hot when it should be hot. Of course, we still need to follow up on the final result, after all, the climate is constantly changing.
