It occurs when the sun reaches 165 degrees of the ecliptic longitude. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "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 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. What is the origin of the White Dew solar term?Bailu is one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. It occurs when the sun reaches 165 degrees of the ecliptic longitude. Bailu is the third solar term in autumn, marking the end of Mengqiu and the beginning of Zhongqiu. Dew 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. At this time, people will clearly feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived. The temperature difference between day and night can reach more than ten 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. As the saying goes, "Bath in a basin of water during the Beginning of Heat, and don't expose your body during the White Dew." These two sentences mean that it is still hot during the Beginning of Heat, so you need to bathe in a basin of water every day. After eighteen days, when the White Dew comes, you should not expose your body to avoid catching a cold. There is also a saying: "White Dew is misty, and the rice will be in full bloom during the Autumnal Equinox." It means that if there is dew before or after the White Dew, the late rice will have a good harvest."Bai Lu" is a festival that reflects the changes in natural temperature. Dew is a unique natural phenomenon after the "Bai Lu" solar term. The weather at this time is just as described in the "Book of Rites": "Cool breeze arrives, white dew falls, and cicadas sing." According to the interpretation of "White Dew" in "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" - "Moisture from the water and soil condenses into dew, autumn belongs to the element of gold, and gold is white. White is the color of dew, and the weather begins to get cold." The ancients also said in "Xiaowei Jing": "The fifteenth day after the Beginning of Heat is the White Dew." As the yin energy becomes heavier, the dew condenses and turns white. "In fact, meteorology shows that at this solar term, the weather gradually turns cooler. The sunlight is still hot during the day, but once the sun goes down the mountain, the temperature drops quickly. At night, the water vapor in the air gets cold and condenses into tiny water droplets, which attach very densely to the green stems, leaves or petals of flowers and trees. They appear white, especially when exposed to the morning sunlight. They look even more crystal clear and flawless, which is very attractive. Therefore, it is named "White Dew". |
