  Bailu, the 15th solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the 3rd solar term of autumn. The "Collection of Seventy-two Solar Terms" says: "Water and soil moisture condense into dew; autumn belongs to metal, whose color is white; white is the color of dew, and the air begins to chill." Ancient people associated the five elements with five colors; autumn's metal element corresponds to white, so autumn dew is called "Bailu" (White Dew).

  Bailu is a transitional solar term marking the shift from heat to cold, reflecting important temperature changes in nature. Various folk customs include worshipping Dayu, brewing grain wine, and drinking White Dew tea. During this period, people should prevent autumn dryness, add clothes appropriately in the morning and evening, and guard against catching cold.

  When mentioning Bailu, most people recall the line from the "Book of Songs": "The reeds are lush, white dew turns to frost, the one I long for is on the other side of the water." Bailu is a solar term full of Chinese-style romance, with many touching ancient poems such as "Dew turns white from tonight, the moon shines bright on my hometown," "Bright moon and green mountains at night, high sky and white dew in autumn," and "How sharp the autumn wind, white dew is morning frost."

  During Bailu, the heat gradually fades, the autumn sky is clear and crisp, osmanthus fragrance fills the air, and maturity and harvest approach. Du Fu wrote in his poem "Bailu": "White dew clusters on sweet fruit, morning scatters horse hooves." It expresses the scene of harvest season with abundant grass and fish, high sky and light clouds, golden earth, and a bustling world ready for gathering, evoking a sense of satisfaction and harvest.

  After Bailu, the rain and dew are cool, autumn deepens with heavy dew, and the harvest moment draws near. The golden wind rises, the autumn moon hangs on branches, white dew condenses; do not waste this prosperous and beautiful autumn time.

  Everything gradually becomes full, preserving the beautiful sediment of the years. During this Bailu season, United Intelligence Certification Company wishes everyone to cherish time and strive forward, not to waste the good time of golden autumn.
