What is the origin of the White Dew solar term?When the sun reaches 165 degrees of the ecliptic longitude around September 8 every year, it is the "Bai Lu" solar term."Bai Lu" is a festival that reflects the changes in natural temperature. Dew is a unique natural phenomenon after the "Bai Lu" solar term. The weather at this time is just as described in the "Book of Rites": "Cool breeze arrives, white dew falls, and cicadas sing." According to the interpretation of "White Dew" in "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" - "Moisture from the water and soil condenses into dew, autumn belongs to the element of gold, and gold is white. White is the color of dew, and the weather begins to get cold." The ancients also said in "Xiaowei Jing": "The fifteenth day after the Beginning of Heat is the White Dew." As the yin energy becomes heavier, the dew condenses and turns white. "The ancients matched the four seasons with the five elements. Autumn belongs to gold, and gold is white, so white is used to describe autumn dew. Meteorology shows that at this solar term, the weather gradually turns cooler. The sunlight is still hot during the day, but once the sun goes down the mountain, the temperature drops quickly. At night, the water vapor in the air gets cold and condenses into tiny water droplets. They attach very densely to the green stems, leaves or petals of flowers and trees, and appear white. Especially under the morning sunlight, they look even more crystal clear, spotless and white, which is very attractive. Hence the name "White Dew". At this time of the year, which is mid-autumn, the climate is like spring. Not only are the flowers and trees still lush, but the colors of some flowers are brighter than in spring, such as hibiscus, begonia, mirabilis, cockscomb, and amaranth, especially the reeds waving in the wind in the fields. The sky is high and the clouds are light at this time. The weather is crisp and the breeze is cool, which can be said to be the most pleasant time of the year. But at this time of year, many living things on Earth will go from flourishing to withering in the bleak autumn wind. White Dew solar term customs: Bailu is the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the weather turns cooler, the dew turns white at night, and the harvest of sorghum and early corn begins. Farmer proverbs include "Plant wheat on high mountains during White Dew and on plains during Cold Dew", "If there is no rain during White Dew, you must get up early to plow the fields", "Thresh and plow the fields during the autumn harvest, and the next year will be a bumper harvest", and "Sprinkle the seeds on the first day of August, and drought will last until May of the following year".
