When is the autumnal equinox this year? What day is it?

The time of the Autumnal Equinox in 2022: 09:03:31 on September 23rd in the Gregorian calendar, the 28th day of the eighth month (big month) in the lunar calendar in 2022, which is Friday.
The Autumnal Equinox was once a traditional "Moon Worship Festival". For example, there is an ancient saying that "In spring, worship the sun, and in autumn, worship the moon." The current Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the traditional "Moon Festival". According to research, the Moon Festival was originally scheduled for the Autumnal Equinox. However, since the date of this day in the eighth month of the lunar calendar varies every year, there is not always a full moon. And offering sacrifices to the moon without a moon is a great spoiler of the scenery. Therefore, the "Moon Festival" was later moved from the "Autumnal Equinox" to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Weather changes during the autumnal equinox

According to the lunar calendar, "Li Qiu" is the beginning of autumn, and "Shuang Jiang" is the end of autumn. The "Autumnal Equinox" is exactly half of the 90 days from Li Qiu to Shuang Jiang. Starting from the day of the autumnal equinox, the climate presents three main characteristics: the position of direct sunlight continues to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, the phenomenon of shorter days and longer nights in the northern hemisphere will become more and more obvious, with the days gradually becoming shorter and the nights longer (until the winter solstice when the night is the longest and the day is the shortest); the temperature difference between day and night gradually increases. The situation in the Southern Hemisphere is exactly the opposite. After the autumnal equinox, the position of direct sunlight moves southward, the days become shorter and the nights longer in the Northern Hemisphere, and the temperature drops, which has universal significance across the country.
During the autumnal equinox, the Yangtze River Basin and the vast areas to the north of my country have successively entered the autumn divided by the "seasonal average temperature", and the average daily temperature has dropped below 22℃. The cold air mass in the north has begun to gain some strength, and the rainy season has just ended in most areas. It is a cool breeze, clear blue sky, sunny and cool autumn weather. After the autumnal equinox, the position of the sun's direct rays moves to the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere receives less and less solar radiation, while the ground loses more heat, and the rate at which the temperature drops significantly accelerates. A farmer's proverb says: "Every autumn rain brings a chill" and "The night of the White Dew and the Autumnal Equinox is colder every night."
