Welcome to the Start of Autumn (lì qiū 立秋), the 13th Solar Term which began on August 7, 2022. We transition from Summer to Autumn in the next period on September 7.
While we are moving to a time of greater yin energy, this period between Summer and Fall, according to Chinese Medicine, is what we call “late summer” and is governed by the Earth Element. We transition to Autumn differently, depending on where we are located and it’s not a linear process. Late Summer is a time to support the Stomach and Spleen energies and to be grounded.
The Chinese continue to use the Twenty-Four Solar Terms calendar that previously informed their agricultural practices and today still informs many people’s diet and lifestyle. It’s remains a cultural practice to eat with the season which is believed to support and strengthen our constitution, especially with changing weather. Growing awareness of Chinese medicine outside of China gives us access to different ways to balance and nourish ourselves. I invite you to explore these ideas and observe how you respond.
