Synoptic mean temperature method Classification based on temperature: Classification based on temperature changes, without considering phenology, rainfall, sunlight and other factors. The division method adopted is the "pentaenoic mean temperature" method of modern scholar Zhang Baokun. The four seasons divided by the pentaenoic mean temperature method begin when the pentaenoic mean temperature (the average of the temperature for five consecutive days) steadily drops below 10℃, and end when the pentaenoic mean temperature is above 10℃. The arrival of winter means that the temperature has steadily dropped below 10℃ and the weather has become cold. Destiny is not one thing, but is divided into fate and luck.
