Do you want to know more about the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the days in the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2020? Let’s go to Mr. Shui Mo’s website to learn more.What is the origin and legend of the Autumnal Equinox?——About the Origin of the Autumnal EquinoxIn ancient times, there were folk activities of "worshiping the sun in spring and worshiping the moon in autumn". The Autumnal Equinox was once the traditional "Moon Worship Festival" (Mid-Autumn Festival) , which evolved from the Moon Worship Festival on Autumn Eve. Every year on September 22 or 23, the sun reaches 180 degrees of ecliptic longitude and shines directly on the Earth's equator, so that the 24 hours of the day are equally divided into day and night, 12 hours each; there is no polar day or night phenomenon on the globe. This is the midpoint of the ninety days of autumn. From this day on, the days will be shorter and the nights will be longer in the Northern Hemisphere. On the "Autumnal Equinox", the sunlight almost directly hits the equator. After this day, the position of direct sunlight moves southward, and the days become shorter and the nights longer in the northern hemisphere. In ancient my country, the Autumnal Equinox was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when the thunder begins to subside; the second stage is when the hibernating insects begin to hatch; the third stage is when the water begins to dry up." The working people of my country have summarized the taboos about the Autumnal Equinox into proverbs, such as "The only thing to fear during the Autumnal Equinox is thunder and lightning, no matter how high the rice price will be". ——On the Autumnal Equinox The Autumnal Equinox is the sixteenth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms, and usually falls on September 22-24 of the Gregorian calendar every year. On the day of the autumnal equinox, the sun reaches 180° of ecliptic longitude (the autumnal equinox point), almost directly shining on the Earth's equator, and the day and night are equal in length everywhere in the world (not considering the refraction of sunlight by the atmosphere and the twilight shadows). The autumnal equinox has two meanings: First, according to the ancient Chinese custom of dividing the seasons into three parts, the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn and Beginning of Winter were used to start the four seasons. The Autumnal Equinox is located in the middle of the 90 days of autumn, dividing the autumn equally. Second, at this time the 24 hours of a day are evenly divided into day and night, 12 hours each. After the autumnal equinox, the sun's direct point continues to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, and the days begin to become shorter and the nights longer in all parts of the northern hemisphere, that is, the day begins to be shorter than the night within a day; the opposite is true in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, the autumnal equinox is also called the autumnal equinox. At the North and South Poles, on the day of the autumnal equinox, the sun stays above the horizon all day. After that, as the sun's direct point continues to move south, a six-month polar night begins near the North Pole, gradually expanding and then shrinking in scope; a six-month polar day begins near the South Pole, gradually expanding and then shrinking in scope. On June 21, 2018, the State Council issued an approval to establish the "China Farmers' Harvest Festival", agreeing to establish the autumnal equinox every year as the "China Farmers' Harvest Festival" starting from 2018. The main festival activities include cultural performances and agricultural competitions.

Autumnal Equinox Customs: Sending Autumn Oxen The Autumnal Equinox marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and is also a harvest season. Therefore, during the Autumnal Equinox, people have the custom of sending autumn ox pictures to every household. The Autumn Ox Picture is made of yellow or red paper with a pattern of a farmer plowing the fields and the twenty-four solar terms printed on it. The people who send autumn ox pictures are usually folk singers who are good at speaking.
