#头条首发大赛##你好,立秋##秋老虎#
You should know that the hot period in summer is called dog days, and do you know what hot days in autumn are called? That's called Autumn Tiger. People compare the heat to a tiger, which is still very vivid. After the beginning of autumn, the tiger descended the mountain, and the weather was very hot. If the weather is cool, as the old saying goes, if you don't go down the mountain, there will be no hot weather for autumn tigers.
In addition, the beginning of the autumn solar term is the arrival of autumn in astronomy, and it is also a sign of the 24 solar terms entering autumn. Of course, the weather conditions vary from place to place, and the arrival of the beginning of autumn will not bring the cool weather of autumn immediately, and it may also be that the dog days will continue to be very hot.
Moreover, we also know that there are different interpretations of the beginning of the autumn solar term according to different years. Generally speaking, the beginning of autumn is relatively fixed in the solar calendar, basically arriving on August 7 or August 8. However, the lunar calendar time is not necessarily, it may come early, and some come late, therefore, the beginning of autumn can be divided into early and late autumn.
The ancestors still have a lot of experience in the morning and evening of the beginning of autumn, and the morning and evening of the beginning of autumn have different degrees of heat. You should be able to experience this for yourself. For example, in some years, it cools down immediately after the beginning of autumn. But there are also some years, after the beginning of autumn, it is not cool, and it still brings continuous hot and hot weather. And such a high temperature and scorching heat is autumn tiger weather.
This year is 2024, will this year's beginning of autumn be early or late? We still have to look at many aspects. This is all summed up by the ancestors based on experience.
The first method: according to the time node of the beginning of the autumn festival. If the beginning of autumn is before 12 noon, it means that it is very early in autumn, so it is called early autumn. And if the beginning of autumn comes after 12 noon, it is called late autumn.
This method of differentiation is relatively simple, and you only need to look at the specific time of the beginning of autumn.
The time of the beginning of autumn is mainly based on the astronomical method, that is, when the sun reaches 135 degrees. This year, the beginning of autumn is at 8:09 a.m. on August 7.
According to the division of time, this year's beginning of autumn is before 12 o'clock, so this year's beginning of autumn is an early beginning of autumn.
The second method: according to which month of the lunar calendar the beginning of autumn is located. Provisions: The beginning of autumn is called early beginning of autumn in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the beginning of autumn is called late beginning of autumn in the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
Some people may want to say that they heard that the beginning of autumn is in July, and there is no festival in the sixth month of the lunar calendar. You really don't want to be a lever here. Because there may be a leap month in the lunar calendar, and when the leap month appears, the beginning of autumn may be the beginning of the festival in the sixth month of the lunar calendar. No, the beginning of autumn in 2023 is on August 8, the twenty-second day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, which means that last year was the beginning of autumn in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, saying that it was early in autumn.
And this year is 2024, and the beginning of autumn is on August 7, the fourth day of the seventh lunar month, so this year is the late beginning of autumn in July.
For the above two statements, there will be two different results, which also shows that the agricultural proverb customs will be different according to different local expressions. It's like the difference between the north and the south.
However, I personally prefer to use the lunar month to distinguish it, because the time changes a lot, and people are more tolerable in the later hot hours.
According to this statement, this year is the late beginning of autumn, and according to the ancestors, the early beginning of autumn is cool, and the late beginning of autumn is scorching. This also indicates that this year's local autumn tiger is strong after the beginning of autumn, and the hot weather may last for a long time.
