The first thing that "beginning of autumn" brings is the change of weather. From this day on, the sky was crisp, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, and the temperature gradually dropped. As the proverb goes, "It's cool in beginning of autumn" and "It's autumn in the morning and cold at night". But "beginning of autumn" is very different in the morning and evening. The so-called "cold in early autumn, hot death in late autumn" reminds people not to be blindly optimistic about "beginning of autumn", and sometimes "after beginning of autumn, there is a tiger at one end". In fact, the biggest magic weapon to cool down in beginning of autumn is rain. "There is rain after autumn, and there is wind around the Millennium", which is the conclusion drawn by people through long-term observation. There is no doubt that people welcome autumn rain. "People are happy when it rains in beginning of autumn, and people are worried when it rains in summer." Under normal circumstances, "beginning of autumn is in summer and it rains in Sanqiu." Not only does it rain, but sometimes it thunders, which means "beginning of autumn thunders, and frost comes every hundred days." Every time it rains after "beginning of autumn", the temperature will drop to a certain extent, which is also the reason why the saying "an autumn rain and a cold" is here. However, it doesn't rain after beginning of autumn. As a sign, "it rains in front of beginning of autumn and there is no drop of water behind beginning of autumn", the most direct consequence is obvious: "It doesn't rain in dry and hot autumn in beginning of autumn, and it rains in rainy autumn in beginning of autumn".

"beginning of autumn" has a great influence on farming. In ancient agricultural society, farmers paid as much attention to "beginning of autumn" as festivals. Because of "thunder and autumn, winter harvest half" and "sunny days in beginning of autumn, farmers don't contribute". This means that if you hear thunder at the beginning of autumn, the crops will fail; If the weather is fine in early autumn, it will be fine, and you can wait for a bumper harvest. Similarly, it is important to "beginning of autumn" sooner or later. Everything is harvested in July and lost in June and autumn. It can't be ignored that it doesn't rain after beginning of autumn. "Everything is harvested when it rains in beginning of autumn, and everyone is worried when it doesn't rain in beginning of autumn", because "beginning of autumn is an empty autumn when it doesn't rain, and everything is always half harvested".

It can be seen that "beginning of autumn" is still a sign of bumper harvest. The so-called "autumn is not cold, the seeds are not yellow", "beginning of autumn is full of yellow in ten days" and "beginning of autumn is full of grass in eighteen days", and a golden autumn is coming. This season, what people calculate most is farming: "grow eggplant in summer sowing and eat eggplant in beginning of autumn"; "In early autumn, buckwheat blooms in white dew, and cold dew buckwheat grows at home"; "beginning of autumn picks peppers, the white dew hits walnuts, the first frost picks persimmons, and beginning of winter hits soft dates". While enjoying the harvest, we should also master the rhythm of work: "beginning of autumn walks slowly in July, and beginning of autumn refuels quickly in June" and "beginning of autumn holds hands, and three to five fights for harvest". For those who have not entered the harvest period, we should also pay attention to the "beginning of autumn": "Plant sesame seeds first, and beginning of autumn plants late millet"; "beginning of autumn cotton is well managed and pruning is essential"; "beginning of autumn grows sesame seeds, but it will not blossom when it dies of old age".

Beginning of autumn changed people's lives accordingly. Beginning of autumn is not only the season when all things are ripe and harvested, but also the transitional period when Yang disappears and Yin grows. Therefore, autumn health preservation has always been an important content that people can't ignore. The easiest thing to do is to "throw away the fan in autumn." Because "one autumn rain and one cold", "ten autumn rains need to wear cotton". When it's cold, we should also pay attention to "never show up for a thousand years, and swim less after autumn." People even think that "beginning of autumn washes his stomach, but he doesn't get prickly heat or loose bowels". In terms of diet and daily life, the ancients thought that "autumn should be harvested rather than scattered", and it should be remembered that "autumn should not eat spicy food" and "autumn should not eat lungs"; It is also necessary to "lie down early and get up early, and have fun with chickens". Lying down early conforms to the convergence of yang, and getting up early stretches lung qi, which is in line with the way of keeping in good health in autumn.
