Time flies. It seems that in a flash, time has bid farewell to the colorful summer and begun to transition to autumn. Beginning of Autumn is the thirteenth solar term in the year. The "Li" in Li Qiu means beginning, and "Qiu" refers to the period when crops mature. Therefore, the Beginning of Autumn indicates the end of summer and the beginning of cool autumn, and the crops are also maturing one after another, and it is about to enter the harvest season. Because the Beginning of Autumn represents the transition from summer to autumn, it is also called "the transition from summer to autumn". The sixth lunar month of each year is particularly different, and the sixth lunar month of 2020 has a unique artistic conception. Let’s wander and explore the ocean of the sixth lunar month of 2020 on Shuimoxiansheng.com!What time is the beginning of autumn in 2020?Lunar calendar date: Friday, June 18, 2020.Gregorian calendar time: 09:06:03, August 7, 2020, Friday Lunar calendar date: June 18, 2020, Friday Start time: 09:06:03, August 7, 2020, Friday End time: 23:44, August 22, 2020, Saturday Calculation of the Beginning of Autumn date <br /> Calendar formula for the Beginning of Autumn: [Y*D+C]-L Formula interpretation: Y=last two digits of the year, D=0.2422, L=number of leap years, C=7.5 in the 21st century and 8.35 in the 20th century. For example: The date of the beginning of autumn in 2088 = [88×0.2422+7.5]-[88/4]=28-22=6, so August 6 is the beginning of autumn. Exception: For 2002, add 1 day to the result. Is the beginning of autumn early or late this year?The Beginning of Autumn is a beautiful season. Its arrival means that the hot summer is coming to an end, which is definitely good news for those who are afraid of heat. Moreover, the Beginning of Autumn means that the grain has been harvested. What could be more important than having enough to eat? Many people like the Beginning of Autumn, but they don’t know that there is a difference between early and late Beginning of Autumn. An interesting point is that the weather in early Beginning of Autumn is very cool, which is very suitable for playing or doing other things. But the late beginning of autumn is different. Although there is a "late" in its name, the temperature will not be late at all. It will rise sharply, which can be said to be so hot that it will make people feel like dogs. Therefore, we should pay more attention to weather changes when the beginning of autumn comes.So what is early autumn and what is late autumn? Whether it is early or late depends on the time period when the Beginning of Autumn arrives. This time period does not refer to days or months, but the specific time, accurate to the hour. Early Beginning of Autumn means that it comes between 0:00 and 12:00, while late Beginning of Autumn means that it comes between 12:00 and 24:00. Therefore, if the Beginning of Autumn comes in the morning, the weather will be relatively cool after the beginning of autumn. If it comes in the afternoon or evening, the weather will be very hot even in autumn. However, it will not get cold immediately after the Beginning of Autumn. There is still a transition period. Therefore, it will continue to be hot for a while after the Beginning of Autumn before slowly getting cooler. Many people want to know when the beginning of autumn begins in 2020? The beginning of autumn this year started at nine o'clock in the morning on August 7, and ended at eleven o'clock on August 22, so the beginning of autumn this year is what we call the early beginning of autumn. Early Beginning of Autumn means that the weather is slowly getting cooler. Our wise ancestors have long told us that the temperature will drop every time it rains in autumn, so there will definitely be a lot of rain this year. You must be careful when going out and bring an umbrella with you, otherwise getting sick from the rain is no joke. The autumn rain is very harmful to your health. Moreover, people who pay attention to health have already started to take care of their bodies after the beginning of autumn. This is the best time to take care of the body. First of all, in terms of diet, you should eat less cold drinks and spicy foods, and also avoid eating some things with heavy flavors. These can easily accumulate in the body and cause illness during this season, so do more aerobic exercise when you have nothing to do. Moreover, the human body temperature will change greatly at this time, so pay attention to adding clothes and taking good warming measures. Another important point is to eat more nutritious foods such as fruits and less fried products. Beginning of Autumn customs and taboosCustom 1: Welcoming AutumnIn ancient times, the beginning of autumn was called the Beginning of Autumn Festival and was a very important festival. As early as in the Zhou Dynasty, on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, the emperor would personally lead the three dukes, six ministers, princes and officials to the western suburbs to welcome the autumn and hold a ceremony to worship Shaohao and Rushu. Later it gradually evolved into a custom where in autumn the emperor would personally lead all civil and military officials to set up an altar on the outskirts of the city to welcome autumn. Custom 2: Autumn Biting Biting autumn is also known as "chewing autumn". As the name suggests, you know that this custom is related to "eating". That’s right, the “咬秋” here mainly refers to eating watermelon. In the past, both city dwellers and country dwellers had the custom of eating watermelon on the day of the Beginning of Autumn. In late summer and early autumn, the number of watermelons on the market gradually decreases, so they become extremely rare. There is also a saying that "watermelons after autumn are no longer sweet", which means that watermelons after autumn are not as sweet and refreshing as in summer, so people have to eat a few more bites of watermelon to express their reluctance to part. It is said that eating watermelon on the Beginning of Autumn can prevent diarrhea and malaria. Custom 3: Putting on weight in autumn Putting on weight in autumn can be said to be one of the most characteristic customs of the Beginning of Autumn. Due to the hot weather in summer, most people have poor appetite and are prone to becoming thin. Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, as soon as the Beginning of Autumn came, people would hang a scale to weigh themselves and compare it with the number weighed on the Beginning of Summer to verify the increase or decrease in weight compared to the summer. Of course, in general, people lose weight. At this time, people start to make up for the loss of their bodies. Braised pork, stewed chicken and fish, dumplings stuffed with meat, etc. are served one after another, and people eat a lot to gain weight. Avoid taking a bath In some areas, bathing is taboo on the day of Beginning of Autumn. It is said that if you bathe on this day, you will get prickly heat all over your body. There is also a saying that if you take a bath on the Beginning of Autumn day, you will get dysentery and diarrhea in the autumn. Therefore, many people avoid taking a bath on the Beginning of Autumn. Disease prevention Periods of seasonal change are when epidemics are most likely to break out. Therefore, in some places, the words "Today is the beginning of autumn, all diseases will be cured" will be written on red paper and pasted on the wall on the day of the beginning of autumn; while some women cut red cloth into gourd shapes and sew them on the back of children's clothes to ward off diseases. |
