Why is Bailu not called "Qiulu"?

"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "The yin energy gradually becomes heavier, and the dew condenses and turns white." During this period, the weather gradually turns cooler and the dew condenses. The ancients matched the four seasons with the five elements, saying that "autumn belongs to gold, and gold is white", so they used white to describe the autumn dew, and thus it got this name. During the White Dew period, the temperature turns cooler and rainy weather is common. The Book of Rites says: "The cool breeze arrives, the white dew falls, and the cicadas chirp." These are the characteristics of the arrival of autumn.
