The Beginning of Autumn
Autumn is a second Spring
when every leaf is a flower.
The Beginning of Autumn marks the 13th in the 24 solar terms.It’s on August7, 8 or 9 every year meaning the beginning of the Autumn."
When it comes to this season, the leaves of the firmiana tree start to fall, thus there is a saying of “One leave falls, autumn arrives.” When the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 135 degrees, the summer is passing away and the weather turns cold gradually. People can feel the wind is getting cool and see fogs in the morning sometimes. It’s also a season of harvest.
The period of hot days after the Start of Autumn is called Autumn tiger.
