With the arrival of the summer heat, which is "a high wind drives away the rain, and the residual summer heat sweeps away the air" and "the new summer heat makes everything golden", although there is still some residual summer heat at first, the coolness in autumn is getting better and better every day. After the summer heat, people will really feel the rapid drop in temperature and the drizzling autumn cold weather. So today's lunar calendar will introduce you to the solar terms behind the heat.

Q: What are the solar terms behind the intense heat?

The high temperature in summer is followed by the Millennium solar terms.

The Millennium is the fifteenth solar term in a year. The ancients in China divided the Millennium into three periods, namely: "When Hongyan came; Second, wait for the bird to return; Three waiting birds raise shame. " It is the Bailu solar term in which migratory birds such as Hongyan and Swallow fly south to avoid the cold, and hundreds of birds begin to store dried fruit particles for the winter. It can be seen that the Millennium is actually a symbol of cold weather.

The ancient book "Book of Rites" said: "The cool wind comes, the dew falls, and cicadas sing." When you enter the "White Dew", you will feel a little cold at night, and in the morning, you will find that the water vapor on the ground and leaves condenses into beads. Especially in the north, people can clearly feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived, and the people smoked by the hot summer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Folk proverbs also say that "autumn is in the white dew, and it is cool all night". In the Millennium, the weather gradually turned cold. With the autumn wind, the weather will get colder day by day and the heat on the ground will dissipate. Old people often say that "the white dew is not exposed", and it is cold in autumn, so you can't go shirtless like summer, otherwise you will easily catch cold and get sick.

Traditional Chinese medicine in China calls the climate change in four seasons "wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness and fire", and the climate change in autumn is called "dryness". Health care in the Millennium season should be based on promoting fluid production and moistening dryness. At this time, people should conform to the laws of heaven and earth, and accept their feelings. If there are symptoms of autumn dryness, people don't have to worry and be agitated. They can eat some soft foods, such as honey, lily, lotus root, yam, pear, etc., to benefit the stomach, promote fluid production, moisten the lungs and moisten dryness.
