On Sunday, September 22, 2024, the Autumn Equinox will officially mark the start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere.
In Chinese tradition, the Autumn Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms in the ancient Chinese lunar calendar, signifying the moment when day and night are of equal length. It is a time of transition, as daylight gradually shortens, and the air turns crisp, preparing the land for the winter ahead.
