What solar term is Bailu?

Bailu is the fifteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar. It occurs when the sun reaches 165 degrees of the ecliptic longitude.
The "Collection of Explanations of the Seventy-two Seasons of the Lunar Calendar" says: "In the eighth month... the yin energy gradually becomes heavier, and the dew condenses and turns white."
As the weather gets cooler, you will find many dew drops on the ground and leaves in the early morning. This is because water vapor condenses on them at night, hence the name "White Dew". 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.
Entering the White Dew season, you will feel a slight chill at night.

Is Bai Lu the next solar term after the Autumnal Equinox?

Yes, according to the order of the 24 solar terms, the next solar term after White Dew is the Autumnal Equinox!
The autumnal equinox is the sixteenth solar term in 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).
There is an ancient saying that "in spring, people worship the sun, and in autumn, people worship the moon". The Autumnal Equinox was once a traditional "Moon Worship Festival". The current Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the traditional "Moon Festival".
