Extended data

Around the Millennium, the residual heat of summer gradually disappeared, the Yin Qi of heaven and earth rose and spread, the weather gradually turned cold, and the dew in the morning became thicker and thicker, and condensed into a layer of white water droplets on the surface of grass leaves, which was one of the reasons for the Millennium. After plants began to have dew entering the Bailu solar term, summer monsoon was gradually replaced by winter wind, cold air turned to attack, and warm air gradually retreated.

At this time, the precipitation in northern China is obviously reduced, and the autumn is crisp and dry. During this period, the first autumn rain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can often alleviate the previous water shortage. However, if the cold air meets a typhoon, or the cold and warm air are evenly matched, the two sides are in a dilemma, and heavy rain or low temperature and continuous rain are not good for the growth of autumn crops.

Millennium is the solar term with the largest temperature difference between day and night throughout the year. After the Millennium, the temperature began to drop, the weather turned cold and the water vapor condensation on the ground began to increase. After the Millennium, people are prone to dry mouth and lips, which is a typical autumn dryness. The diet in the Millennium season should be based on invigorating the spleen and moistening dryness, and should eat things that are flat, sweet and warm, and should eat nutritious and digestible food.
