[Ji Shi · Say] Liang Yong: 24 solar terms · Li Qiu

August 7th is the 13th of the twenty -four solar terms -Liqiu. "Liliqiu" is coming, will the weather turn cold immediately? What are the waiting characteristics of Liqiu? In our country, what cultural and customs are the beginning of autumn? Let's listen to the interpretation of Liang Yong, a librarian of the Hebei Provincial Literature and History Research Museum.

Liang Yong, a librarian at the Hebei Provincial Literature and History Research Museum: From the perspective of astronomy, it marks the beginning of our astronomical autumn. But in terms of meteorology, we have not yet entered autumn in our land in our north. Because at this time the northern hemisphere has a lot of solar radiation, and we still feel very hot. And there is still the hottest weather after the beginning of autumn, called Qiu Tiger. Our North China began to truly enter the autumn. Its important indicator is that it is called autumn at the level of 10 degrees from 10 to 20 degrees in the future. This is about the climate of Liqiu.

Liang Yong, a librarian at the Hebei Provincial Cultural and History Research Museum: Then the 15 days after the beginning of the autumn were divided into three years. When the cool breeze rises, the traditional folk saying "Losing the fan to lose the fan" is just not to hit the fan, but in fact it still needs a fan. By the time I was waiting, Bai Lusheng began to have dew, like the Great Wall route. By the time of the cold cicada, in fact, when the three waiting, the summer was in the summer, that is, the summer passed. At this time, the cold cicada on the tree began to call, which was the three waiting of the beginning of the autumn.

Liang Yong, a librarian of the Hebei Provincial Cultural and History Research Museum: Then we used to talk about Lili Agricultural. So in terms of folk customs, our traditional Chinese folk customs are related to autumn. It is called sun -autumn harvest, autumn melon, and autumn. This is simple to expose the autumn harvest, because the spring crops began to harvest autumn at this time. Qiqiu melon means that in the past, some of the traditional native vegetables and melons, these melons have begun to be cooked this season, so it is called Qiqiu Gua. Another is to stick to autumn, because in summer, we sweat a lot of energy consumption, and many people lose weight in summer. Then you need nourishing in autumn, so you need to eat, drink well in autumn, and increase nutrition. After the beginning of autumn, we start to post autumn, which is also the ability to improve our immunity and improve our ability to prevent disease and resistance.

Liang Yong, a librarian of the Hebei Provincial Cultural and History Research Museum: In ancient China, there were many proverbs about Liqiu. For example, traditional folk customs say that in the morning, the autumn is cool, and the autumn is hot at noon. The folk proverbs like this have accumulated some of our folk wisdom in the process of accumulation. The other is the relationship between the climate and harvest of Liqiu. Lilikin can be harvested well this year. Often, it happens to catch up with the rainy season during the autumn. If it is too late to rain, the autumn crops will be harmed, so many wisdom among the folk proverbs is a kind of accumulation of the traditional farming society of the Chinese nation. Essence
