(2) The temperatures of the two solar terms are different
Temperature during the Cold Dew solar term: Cold Dew is a solar term that reflects the characteristics of climate change. After the Cold Dew solar term, the days gradually become shorter and the nights longer, the sunshine decreases, the heat slowly recedes, and the cold gradually arises. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and you will feel a slight chill in the morning and evening.
The average daily temperature in South China is less than 20℃. Even in the coastal areas of the Yangtze River, the temperature hardly rises above 30℃, while the lowest temperature can drop below 10℃. Due to global warming, the date when the temperature drops may be delayed. Except for a few river valley lowlands in the Northwestern Plateau, the average temperature over the five-day period is generally below 10°C.
The temperature of the Bailu solar term: "Bailu" is an important solar term that reflects the increase of cold air in nature. According to the interpretation of "White Dew" in "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" - "The moisture in the water and soil condenses into dew. Autumn belongs to gold, and gold is white. White is the color of dew, and the air begins to get cold." With the arrival of White Dew, the summer heat has basically ended and the weather is gradually turning cooler.
When Bailu arrives, things really get cooler and the summer heat basically ends. Entering the "White Dew" season, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it will feel a little cool at night.

During the Cold Dew season, the autumn wind blows and the red leaves on the mountains are as colorful as rosy clouds and as poetic as a painting. Stroll along the winding path and look at the hillside. You will see clusters and pieces of red leaves.
Cold Dew Customs: Climbing
As we all know, the custom of climbing heights on the Double Ninth Festival has a long history. Since the Double Ninth Festival falls around the Cold Dew solar term, the pleasant climate during the Cold Dew solar term is very suitable for mountain climbing, and gradually the custom of climbing on the Double Ninth Festival has also become a custom of the Cold Dew solar term. Climbing high symbolizes "promotion at every step" and "longevity".
