Bailu (solar term)

The traditional Chinese calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. Báilù, "Hakuro", "Baengno", or "Bạch lộ" () is the 15th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 165° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 180°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 165°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around September 7 and ends around September 23. Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated around this time.
