Tired of missing traditional solar terms? This tool uses astronomical calendar data to accurately calculate the time difference between the current time and the exact moment of Liqiu (Start of Autumn). It displays the remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds in real time. Liqiu is the iconic node marking the beginning of autumn in the 24 Chinese solar terms, occurring annually on August 7th or 8th of the Gregorian calendar. This tool counts down based on the precise times published by the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Is the countdown accurate?
Yes, highly accurate. This tool uses the precise astronomically calculated moment of Liqiu, with a margin of error of less than 1 second.
Why does the exact time of the first day of fall change every year?
Liqiu is determined when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 135°. Because the Earth's orbital period is not an exact number of days, the exact moment of Liqiu varies slightly each year, typically falling on August 7th or 8th.
Please ensure your device's system time is set correctly, as incorrect settings will affect the countdown's accuracy. The results provided by this tool are for reference only; official observatory data shall prevail.
The calculation of the Liqiu moment is based on the sun's celestial longitude. We recommend agricultural practitioners monitor the countdown and schedule farming activities according to local climate characteristics. For example, the exact time of Liqiu in 2025 is August 7th at 13:50:52. During this period, rice in the Yangtze River basin is in the heading stage, requiring careful field water management.
