Today Bai Lu: Lu Congbai, the month is the hometown of Ming 丨 Bashan Shushui ⑮ in the twenty -four solar terms

Bai Lu today.

Bai Lu is the third solar term in autumn. Regarding Bai Lu, "Monthly Seventy -two Set Solutions" explains this: "August ... The yin is getting heavier, and the dew and whiteness." Bai Lu's solar term is usually in the early August of the lunar calendar. At this time, the air is in the air. Water vapor is heavier, the temperature decreases at night, and water vapor will be condensed into white water droplets on the ground or near -ground objects.

Li Jianzhong, executive director of the Sichuan Provincial Folklore Society, vice chairman of the Sichuan Folk Literary and Artists Association, and research librarian, said that "Lu" is a unique natural phenomenon after Bailu's solar terms. Essence Bai Lu is a solar term that reflects the significant decline in temperature, marking the end of Meng Qiu and the beginning of Zhong Qiu.

"Bai Lu"

The folk saying has the saying "Bai Lu Qiufeng Night, cool overnight and one night". With the position of the sun's direct shift to the earth, after the white dew, the sunshine time in the northern hemisphere has become shorter, and the sunshine intensity weakens. At the same time, the cold air from the Siberia and the Mongolian Plateau turned into an attack and went south in batches. Under the double influence of sunshine weakening and cold air south, the temperature in various places gradually decreased.

In terms of waiting, the ancients summarized Bai Lusan: "One waiting for Hongyan, the two waiting birds return, and the three waiting birds are ashamed."

Waiting for Hongyan. The "Hongyan" said by the ancients refers to seasonal migratory birds such as geese. Saying Hongyan "Come" is because the hometown of the wild goose is in Siberia. Every fall, Siberia starts to be covered by ice and snow, and the wild geese flew to southern my country in groups. Usually, in the northern region of Bailu, rest and supplement food after stopping reeds and other waters, and then continue to fly to the southern grass and rivers and lakes in the south. In the spring of the following year, he flew back to Siberia to breed offspring. Hongyan is a very important biological logo in the history of ancient observations. They often line up in the sky in the sky. Seeing that Yanqun flew from the sky, people understood: Zhong Qiu arrived, the weather turned cold!

Waiting for the mysterious bird. Xuan Bird refers to a swallow. Why do you say "return"? "Monthly Seventy -two Top Set" said: "The birds of the south are the birds, so they return." The weather was cold in the season, and the swallows would return to the south's hometown to avoid the cold. Swallows reproduced off the offspring after coming to my country's subtropical and temperate regions in spring, so there is such a saying: spring warm mysterious birds come, and they come from wings to double; autumn cool birds return, dragging home.

Three waiting birds are shy. This "shame" is the same as "指", refers to food and food. "Shame" means that the birds have reserved food in order to spend winter. At this time, all kinds of bugs grow obese, and the birds are rushing to be fat, so as to get fat for the winter. At the same time, they also have the habit of accumulating and storing food, and put some seed food into their own nests to prepare for winter food.

Li Jianzhong said that in addition to the "three waiting", there are some typical waiting characteristics of Bailu season: lotus leaves begin to dry, red jujube mature, aromatic osmanthus began to bloom, mosquito hid one after another to enter the winter state ...

"Bai Lu" Folklore

Li Jianzhong said that the folk customs of white dew solar terms in various places are very rich, mainly including drinking white dew tea, eating sweet potatoes, and brewing white dew.

Drink white dew tea

The folk has the saying that "spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, drinking tea, autumn white dew", many places have the folk customs of drinking white dew tea. Bailu tea refers to the tea picked in the time of Bailu. After a summer heat, the tea tree ushered in a very good period of growth. The large temperature difference between day and night is conducive to the accumulation of more sugar and nutrients for tea. It is not bitter or astringent. In the past, Nanjing people had a soft spot for "Bai Lu Tea", thinking that it was neither as bitter as spring tea, nor as bitter as Xia Tea. The unique sweet fragrance gave people just right.

Sweet potato

Bai Lu is mature and harvested in batches. Sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, red crickets, etc., which are rich in many nutrients and have the reputation of "longevity food". However, sweet potato sugar content, eating too much will stimulate gastric acid secretion and make people nauseous. In many places, there are folk customs that eat sweet potatoes in Bailu Festival. They believe that they eat sweet potatoes on this day.

Dew

In some places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, every year, Bailu's solar terms arrive, and there is a custom of brewing rice wine for guests. The white dew rice wine in the country is sometimes taken to the city, which is very popular. During the Republic of China, the hotels in Nanjing were sold in the autumn. Hunan Zixing's Bai Lumi wine is well -known, the most famous is "Chengjiu". Cheng Jiu has a long history and is named for the brewing of Chengjiang water. Cheng Jiu's brewing is to make "soil -roasted" liquor with grain and other grains with glutinous rice, and then pour the liquor into the bad wine in a certain proportion, and then mix the appropriate amount of boiled rice dumplings water. In the end, the altar was sealed and buried underground or cellar. Bai Lu's current drinking white dew wine can only be blended with "burning".

"Bai Lu" in ancient poems

Moon Night Recalling Brother (Tang Du Fu)

Drums cut off the crowd, and the sound of a geese in the autumn.

Lu Congbai, the moon is the hometown.

Everyone is scattered, and no family asks for death.

Sending the head of the book is not reached, but the condition is not sold.

Nanhu Late Autumn (Tang Bai Juyi)

In August, Bailu descended, and the water was old in the lake.

There are many autumn winds, and the loads are half -dumping.

Climbing green maple trees, feet yellow reed grass.

The miserable old face, left over the autumn.

Brother is in Huaichu, and his brother is in Shu Road.

When will the thousands of miles come, smoke Bai Haohao.
