The Millennium in 2023 is at 5: 00 on September 8, 2023, 16, and on July 24 of the lunar calendar. Millennium is the fifteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, and the next solar term is the autumnal equinox. When the sun reaches longitude 165 degrees, it is white dew. As the weather gets colder and colder, many dewdrops will be found on the ground and leaves in the morning. This is because water vapor condenses on it at night, so it is named Bailu.
The origin of the Millennium
When the sun reaches longitude 165 degrees, it is the Millennium solar term. Millennium is the third solar term in autumn, which marks 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 is actually a sign 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.
Sun be the spirit in the summer solstice, everything will be reversed. Yin Qi also rose at this time. In the Millennium, Yin Qi gradually increased, and the morning dew became thicker and condensed into a layer of white water droplets, so it was called the Millennium. There is also a saying that around the Millennium, the residual heat of summer gradually disappeared, the heavens and the earth rose and spread, the weather gradually turned cold, and the dew in the morning became thicker and thicker, condensing into a layer of white water and dripping on the grass leaves. The ancients used four seasons to match five elements. Autumn belongs to gold and metal is white, so autumn dew is described as white, hence the name "White Dew".
