立秋|"Li Qiu" (Autumn Begins)

Fifteen days after “Dashu (Great Heat),” it’s “Liqiu (Autumn Begins)” in China’s 24 solar terms. In accordance with the autumn instruction, all the grains are fully grown. When the autumn is here, “Yin” and “Yang” change their positions. There will be cool winds, the appearance of white dew, and the chirping of cicadas. If there’s no rain during “Liqiu,” it will be just an empty autumn that crop yields will be reduced. Let’s take a look at this story and take a visit to Gulin during “Dashu.”
