The spiritual connotation of the Millennium
Millennium is an important festival reflecting the temperature changes in nature, basically ending the sultry summer, and it is a turning point from sultry to cool in autumn. The ancients used four seasons with five elements, and autumn was golden and golden white, so white was used to describe autumn dew. After entering the Millennium solar terms, the summer monsoon is gradually replaced by the winter monsoon, and the cold air goes south in batches, which often brings a certain range of cooling.
After a thousand years, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is crisp and the temperature difference between day and night is large. At night, you will feel a little cold, and obviously feel the arrival of cool autumn. "White dew" represents the end of the summer heat. Everything grows with the cold and gradually withers and matures. In the process of changing seasons, the harvested autumn brings people health-related food and folk customs.
According to the records in the twenty-four solar terms, "the water in the soil and water condenses into dew, autumn is golden yellow, golden white, white is the color of dew, and the gas begins to get cold." This means that at this time of the year, due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, the water vapor on the surface will condense into water droplets at night, and then contact the herbs on the ground, thus forming dew. The ancients used five elements to describe the four seasons, among which autumn belongs to gold, gold and white, so white is used to describe autumn dew.
After the "White Dew" solar term, the influence of cold air in the north is constantly strengthened, and sometimes it will go south, resulting in a gradual decline in temperature and an increasing temperature difference between day and night. This warm day and cool night environment is very conducive to the formation of "white dew", but also conducive to the transport and accumulation of nutrients in crops, and promote the rapid maturity of crops, which is a favorable condition for high yield. However, this period of time will not last long. As the temperature drops lower and lower, autumn frost is coming to the earth.
? What is the moral of the Millennium?
The temperature dropped and the weather turned cold. The temperature began to drop, the weather turned cold and there was dew on the vegetation in the morning. The Millennium is around September 7 of the Gregorian calendar every year. In ancient China, the Millennium was divided into three stages: "When Hongyan came; Second, wait for the bird to return; Three waiting birds raise shame. " It is said that this solar term is the time when migratory birds such as geese and swallows fly south to avoid the cold, and hundreds of birds begin to store dried fruits for the winter. It can be seen that the Millennium is actually a symbol of cold weather.
