"The leaky clock is still shallow at night, and the season wants the autumn equinox". From the Tang Dynasty poet Jia Dao's "Three Visits to Helan in the Night", the beauty of the autumn equinox is presented in front of you. Time flies, and today is the autumnal equinox. The autumn equinox is the fourth solar term of autumn, as soon as the autumn equinox arrives, the temperature drops faster, the temperature difference between day and night increases, and the weather slowly transitions from cool to cold, so the autumn equinox solar term is very important. Remind everyone: Today's autumn equinox, if you have money or not, eat 3 things, avoid 2 things, do 2 things, take care of a good body, and get less sick in winter!
This year's autumn equinox is the "Autumnal Equinox with Eyes Closed":
"Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order": "Mid-August...... See the vernal equinox". The autumn equinox is the 16th of the 24 solar terms, and it is the solar term of late autumn, "the autumn equinox, the yin and yang are half of each other", the autumn equinox is not only the equinox of yin and yang, but also the middle of the "90 days of autumn", and there is a saying of "equal equinox".
After the autumn equinox, the direct point of the sun enters the southern hemisphere, and in the northern hemisphere during the day time < night, the temperature difference between day and night increases, and the temperature drops day by day.
When the sun reaches the yellow longitude of 180 °, the autumn equinox comes, today is September 22, the twentieth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the specific time is: 20:43:27 on September 22. It's clearly the "autumnal equinox with closed eyes".
As the old saying goes: "Close your eyes to the autumn equinox is cold, rainy and snowy". This means that this year's winter is a cold winter, accompanied by rain and snow, as the saying goes, "Ruixue Mega Year", which is a good thing for farmers and indicates that next year will be a good year.
Today's autumnal equinox is an "auspicious day":
The ancients used the combination of the ten heavenly stems (Jiayi, Bing, Ding, Wuji, Gengxin, and Non Gui) and the twelve earthly branches (Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen, Si Wu Wei Shen You, Xuhai) to keep time, that is, 60 Jiazi, and to see the auspicious days of the zodiac and the evil days of the underworld used the method of twelve Jianzhi.
There are a total of 12 words in addition to the 12 buildings, namely: building, dividing, full, leveling, fixed, persistent, broken, dangerous, successful, collecting, opening and closing. The old man said: "The building is full of flat and black, except for the danger and the yellow, it can be used to open and open, and it is not appropriate to close it."
Today is September 22nd, the twentieth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the year of Jiachen, the month of Guiyou, and the day of Jichou.
According to the calculation, that is, the day of the unitary day is built, the day of the day is divided, the day of the sea is full, the day of the child is flat, and the ugly day is fixed, so tomorrow is a fixed day, which is an auspicious day of the zodiac.

"When the autumnal equinox arrives and the weather is cooler at night, it's actually better to fall asleep at this time, but many people still stay up late, and it is not recommended for everyone to do this.
