Analysis of the Beginning of Autumn:
Beginning of Autumn is the 13th solar term among the 24 solar terms and the first solar term in autumn, marking the official start of the early autumn season:
"Autumn" means the end of summer and the arrival of coolness. At the beginning of autumn, the Big Dipper points to the southwest.
From this day on, autumn begins, with clear skies, bright moon and fresh breeze. After that, the temperature gradually dropped from the hottest point.
The first thing that "Li Qiu" brings is a change in weather. From this day on, the sky is high and the air is clear, the moon is bright and the wind is fresh, and the temperature gradually drops, just as the proverb says: "A cool breeze arrives on the day of the Beginning of Autumn" and "It starts in the morning and it will be chilly in the evening."
The Beginning of Autumn was one of the "Four Seasons and Eight Festivals" in ancient times. People had the custom of worshiping the god of the land and celebrating the harvest. Analysis of 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".
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.
