What is the meaning of the Bailu solar term and what does it represent?
The White Dew solar term is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms, and it occurs from September 7 to 9 every year, when the sun reaches 165° of the ecliptic longitude. So, why is this solar term called Bailu? What is the meaning of White Dew? As the saying goes, "July is the hottest month of the year." The arrival of July means the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Come to Mr. Shui Mo to learn more about the lunar calendar for July 2018.The meaning of Bailu solar termDew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to a drop in temperature. Therefore, Bailu actually indicates that the weather has turned cooler. Although the temperature during the day is still around 30 degrees, it drops to around 20 degrees at night, with a temperature difference of more than 10 degrees. Yang energy reaches its peak at the summer solstice, and as everything reaches its extreme, Yin energy also rises at this time. When it comes to Bailu, the yin energy gradually becomes heavier, and the morning dew becomes thicker and thicker, condensing into a layer of white water droplets, so it is called Bailu.What does Bailu mean?According to the "Collection of Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes in the Lunar Calendar", "In the eighth month... the yin energy gradually becomes heavier, and the dew condenses and turns white." As the weather gradually turns cooler, you will find many dewdrops on the ground and leaves in the early morning. This is because water vapor condenses on them at night, hence the name. 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.What to eat during the Bailu solar termBailu is a typical autumn climate, which is prone to symptoms such as dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry stools, and cracked skin. There are many ways to prevent autumn dryness. You can eat more foods rich in vitamins, or you can choose some Chinese medicines that can clear the lungs and resolve phlegm, nourish yin and replenish qi, such as ginseng, adenophora, American ginseng, lily, almond, Fritillaria cirrhosa, etc., which are very effective in relieving autumn dryness. For the general public, simple and practical medicinal food and diet therapy seem to be more acceptable. |
