What time is the beginning of autumn in 2019?

Date of the beginning of autumn in 2019:
2019-08-08 03:12:23 Thursday (the eighth day of the seventh month of the Year of the Pig, 28 days away from the beginning of autumn in 2019)

In ancient my country, the beginning of autumn was divided into three phases: "The first phase is the arrival of cool breezes; the second phase is the appearance of white dew; the third phase is the chirping of cicadas."
Cool breeze arrives: people will feel cool when the wind blows, and the wind at this time is different from the hot wind in summer.
White Dew: There will be fog on the earth in the morning.
The chirping of cicadas: The cicadas that chirp in response to the cold weather in autumn also begin to chirp.
Poem "Beginning of Autumn": "A single leaf of the Chinese parasol tree heralds the coming of autumn, and the rice fields talk of a good harvest. Although it is not midsummer, the tiger is still crouching, and the cicadas are singing non-stop." (Zuo Heshui)

Is the beginning of autumn early or late this year?

The beginning of autumn in 2019 is around 3 a.m., so it is an early beginning of autumn. However, there are two opinions among the people about early autumn and late autumn.
The first is to determine based on the specific time of the Beginning of Autumn, whether it is in the morning or afternoon, with noon as the definition. If the Beginning of Autumn is in the morning, then it is "early Beginning of Autumn." If the beginning of autumn is in the afternoon, then it is a "late beginning of autumn". The beginning of autumn in 2019 is at 03:12:57 on August 8, so it is an early beginning of autumn.
The second way of saying it is to distinguish according to the date of the lunar calendar. For example, in some years, the beginning of autumn is in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and in some years, the beginning of autumn is in the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
The beginning of autumn in June is considered to be early, while the beginning of autumn in July is considered to be late.
The beginning of autumn in 2019 is on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, so it is also considered a late beginning of autumn.

What does Liqiu mean?

The summer goes and the cool comes, which means the beginning of autumn. The "Li" in "Li Qiu" means beginning, and "Autumn" refers to the period when crops mature. The Beginning of Autumn marks the end of summer and the beginning of cool autumn.
According to the Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes in the Lunar Calendar: "Autumn means to gather, and things are gathered here." The Beginning of Autumn not only indicates that the hot summer is about to pass, but also that autumn is about to come. It also means that the plants are beginning to bear fruit and the harvest season has arrived. At this time, early rice is harvested and late rice is transplanted in central China, and autumn crops enter an important growth and development period.
The ancients regarded the Beginning of Autumn as an important moment between summer and autumn and always attached great importance to this solar term. According to records, during the Song Dynasty, on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, the phoenix trees planted in pots would be moved into the palace. When the time of "Beginning of Autumn" arrived, the historian would announce in a loud voice: "Autumn is coming." After the announcement, the phoenix trees would drop one or two leaves in response, to herald the arrival of autumn.
