Dew is white, autumn water is old. When the goose came, the mysterious bird came back. What does this mean?

Dew condenses, autumn water dries up, geese fly and swallows fly back.

Original text:

There are three grades in the Millennium: one is when Hongyan comes; Second, wait for the mysterious bird to return; A flock of birds breeds shame.

Translation:

There are three seasons in the Millennium: the first swan flies, the second swallow returns to its nest, and the third flock of birds stores.

Here comes Hongyan:

Hong is big, goose is small. They are two different birds. Hongyan flies north in February and south in August.

The mysterious bird is back:

The mysterious bird is a swallow. The spring equinox is coming, the autumn equinox is approaching, the cool wind is curling, and the exposed branches are wet. It's time to go. Once a swallow returns to its nest, there will be no cicada, and everything is pregnant with sadness in silence.

Hawthorn is red, persimmon is full of trees, branches and leaves are sparse, hibiscus flowers are faded, grass roots are yellow, and the first flying leaf has begun to affect my thoughts. Yan goes to Hongzhi, leaves every year, and goes at dusk, which is fleeting.

Birds raise shame:

In the next five days, "birds are ashamed", like "shame", is a delicious food. "Xuanwu hides the shade of wood, and the Dan bird is still ashamed." Raising shame means that birds perceive cold air and store food for winter, such as treasure.

Extended data

As the temperature turns cold, migratory birds are preparing to fly south, looking for a warm place to spend the winter, and hundreds of birds are also preparing fruits and storing food for the winter. At night, water vapor condenses into water droplets everywhere on the vegetation, hence the name Millennium.

"Twenty-four solar terms" said: "Water and soil moisture condenses into dew, autumn belongs to gold, golden white, white dew color, and gas begins to be cold." Dew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to temperature drop. So the Millennium actually indicates that the weather is getting cold.

The Millennium solar term means that the cool autumn has really arrived. In most parts of our country, the sky is crisp and the clouds are light and the wind is light, which is a good time to travel.
