the solar term we often say is not as simple as wind and rain. In previous times, people treated it with a very cautious attitude, or spent it as a festival. Coupled with the long time evolution, many new customs have been added. Today we are still celebrating in these ways. Here is a simple example.

In the south, there are many rains, storms, sufficient light and high humidity. In November, the temperature is still about 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, showing a little sunny spring. In the north, the temperature continues to drop, even below zero, and it begins to snow, but the precipitation will decrease significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent land drought, water shortage and low-temperature frozen soil.
