When is the Autumnal Equinox on the fourth day of the eighth lunar month in 2017?

September 23, 2017 (the fourth day of the eighth lunar month) Saturday <br /> Autumnal Equinox, the sixteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, usually falls on September 22-24 of each year. The climate in the south begins to enter autumn from this solar term. First, the sun reaches 180° of ecliptic longitude (autumnal equinox) on this day, and the sun almost directly shines on the earth's equator, and the day and night are equal in length everywhere in the world (without considering the refraction of sunlight by the atmosphere and the morning and evening shadows). After the autumnal equinox, the sun's point continues to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, and the days begin to become shorter and the nights longer (the day is shorter than the night) in all parts of the northern hemisphere, and the days begin to become longer and the nights shorter (the day is longer than the night) in all parts of the southern hemisphere. Therefore, the autumnal equinox is also called the autumnal equinox.
In the ancient Chinese book “Chun Qiu Fan Lu·Yin Yang Chu Ru I and II” it says: “Autumnal Equinox is the time when Yin and Yang are half and half, so the day and night are equal and the cold and heat are balanced.” The “fen” in Autumnal Equinox means “half”. The autumnal equinox has two meanings:
First, the length of day and night is equal, and the days become longer and the nights become shorter. On this day, the sun reaches 180 degrees of ecliptic longitude and directly shines on the Earth's equator. Therefore, in most parts of the world, the 24 hours of day and night are equally divided, 12 hours each. Near the North Pole and the South Pole, a special phenomenon of "the sun circling on the horizon all day" can be observed on this day.
Second, the climate changes from hot to cool. According to the ancient Chinese seasonal division method that uses the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn and Beginning of Winter as the beginning of the four seasons, the Autumnal Equinox is located in the middle of the 90 days of autumn, dividing the autumn season equally.

What does the Autumnal Equinox represent?

During the autumnal equinox, most parts of my country have entered the cool autumn. The cold air moving south meets the gradually weakening warm and humid air, resulting in repeated precipitation and repeated drops in temperature. As people often say, it is the time when "one autumn rain brings one cold day", but the daily precipitation after the autumnal equinox will not be large. At this time, field farming in the south and north was different.
In North my country, there is an agricultural proverb that says: "White Dew comes early, Cold Dew comes late, and it is the right time to plant wheat during the Autumnal Equinox." The proverb clearly stipulates the time for sowing winter wheat in the region; and "White clouds come during the Autumnal Equinox, and good songs and rice planting are everywhere" reflects the time for sowing rice in the Jiangnan region. In addition, the working people's taboos about the Autumnal Equinox were also summarized into proverbs, such as "The only thing to fear during the Autumnal Equinox is thunder and lightning, so what if the rice price is higher?"
