24 Solar Terms in Oracle Bone Script: Autumn Equinox
The Autumn Equinox, or "Qiufen" in Chinese, occurs around September 23rd each year. This solar term is significant as it marks the point when day and night are approximately equal in length, symbolizing balance in nature. As summer fades, the weather becomes cooler, and the leaves begin to change color, creating a picturesque landscape.
秋分,每年大约在9月23日左右。这个节气非常重要,因为它标志着昼夜长度大致相等的时刻,象征着自然界的平衡。随着夏天的消逝,天气逐渐变凉,树叶开始变色,营造出如画的景色。
