I. The Origin of Liqiu: Astronomical Origin, Related to Farming

Liqiu, as one of the twenty-four solar terms, has a long history and unique origin. Its establishment is closely related to the ancients' observation of the astronomical calendar. The ancients divided the solar terms based on the changes in the sun's position on the ecliptic. When the sun reaches 135° of ecliptic longitude, it is Liqiu. In an agrarian society, the arrival of Liqiu means that crops are about to mature, and people would arrange farming activities such as autumn harvest according to this solar term. It carries the ancients' understanding of the laws of nature and their expectation of a good harvest. 

II. Liqiu ≠ End of Scorching Heat: "Autumn Tiger" Still Needs Attention

Many people believe that once Liqiu arrives, the scorching heat will end, but this is not the case. Liqiu is merely a marker on the solar term calendar, representing the beginning of autumn, but the dog days may not yet be over, and the "Autumn Tiger" may still be rampant. The "Autumn Tiger" refers to the short-term return of hot weather after Liqiu, usually occurring around the turn of August and September, with varying durations, sometimes lasting for half a month to a month. During this time, the daytime temperature is still high, and the feeling of heat will not dissipate immediately, so one cannot be careless with the arrival of Liqiu; preventive measures against heatstroke should continue. 

III. Precautions for Liqiu: Following the Seasons, Nurturing Body and Mind

There are some precautions during the Liqiu season. In terms of clothing, the temperature difference between morning and evening gradually increases, so pay attention to adding or removing clothing in time to avoid catching a cold due to cold. In terms of diet, although the weather is still hot, eat less raw and cold food to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach. You can eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs, such as pears, silver ear fungus, and lilies. In terms of rest, gradually adjust your schedule and develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early to adapt to the characteristics of "nourishing autumn" in autumn. In addition, the air is relatively dry at this time, so pay attention to drinking plenty of water to maintain the body's water balance. Also, maintain appropriate exercise to enhance the body's resistance, but avoid exercising during high-temperature periods to prevent heatstroke. 

Liqiu is a turning point in the change of seasons. Understanding its origin, knowing that it does not represent the end of the scorching heat, and taking the appropriate precautions, will allow one to better adapt to the changes of this season and enjoy the beauty of autumn.
