Tea leaves picked before and after Bailu are called Bailu tea. After spring and summer, tea becomes rich and mellow in autumn, neither as delicate as spring tea nor as dry and bitter as summer tea. Old Nanjing people prefer to drink Bailu tea. Bailu wine is a traditional famous wine unique to the people of Chenzhou, Hunan Province. Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains, which is slightly sweet and used to entertain guests. Also called "Bailu rice wine".

Both of them are Millennium solar terms, and their scenery is different in different parts of China. The water vapor in the north is condensed, and some areas in the south are still full of flowers. There was a saying that "after a thousand years, osmanthus fragrance". There is also a saying that the Millennium solar terms shelter from the wind and rain, such as "the northeast wind of the Millennium, ten bells and nine pus; It's windy in the northwest, ten rings and nine empty "and so on. From this proverb, it is not difficult to see that farmers' friends attach importance to solar terms.

Introduction to the origin of white deer

Millennium is one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar. When the sun reaches 165 degrees, it is called the Millennium solar term. Millennium is the third solar term in autumn, marking the end of Qiu Meng and the beginning of Mid-Autumn Festival. Dew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to temperature drop. So the Millennium actually indicates that the weather is getting cold.

At this time, people will obviously feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived, and the temperature difference between day and night can reach more than ten degrees. Yang Qi reached its peak in the summer solstice, and these two extremes must be reversed, and Yin Qi also rose at this time. When it comes to the White Dew, the yin gradually increases, and the morning dew gradually thickens and condenses into a layer of white water drops, so it is called the White Dew.
