2023/AUTUMNA
PART.01 Autumn is strong, day and night are equal in length
The autumnal equinox is the sixteenth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms. On the autumnal equinox, the sun hits almost directly at the Earth's equator, and the world is equal in length of day and night.
Autumnal equinox, "fen" means "equal equinox", in addition to referring to the equinox of day and night, there is also a layer that means to divide autumn equally.
Every year around September 23, when the sun reaches 180 degrees of ecliptic longitude, it enters the "autumnal equinox" solar term. "Autumnal equinox", like "spring equinox", is the earliest solar term established by the ancients. According to the cloud of "Spring and Autumn Dew, Yin and Yang in and Out": "Those who are at the autumn equinox, yin and yang accompany each other, so the day and night are equal and cold and summer." "Autumnal equinox" means two things:
First, according to the ancient continent, the four seasons began to be divided into four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the autumn equinox day lived in the 90 days of autumn, dividing autumn equally.
The second is that at this time, the day and night are divided equally 24 hours a day, 12 hours each. This day is the same as the "spring equinox" day, which sees sunlight almost directly on the equator, and after this day, the direct sunlight moves south, and the northern hemisphere has short days and nights.
With the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the approval of the State Council, since 2018, the annual autumnal equinox of the lunar calendar has been established as the "Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival".
