What does it mean to not show your feet during Cold Dew?

——As the saying goes, "Don't expose your body during the White Dew, and don't expose your feet during the Cold Dew." During the White Dew season, the elderly and children should not go shirtless, and during the Cold Dew season, you should pay attention to keeping your feet warm.
"Suwen Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" records: "In the third month of autumn, go to bed early and get up early, and wake up with the cocks." Going to bed early conforms to the principle of retaining Yin essence in autumn, while getting up early can stretch Yang energy to achieve a balance between Yin and Yang.
——Suggestion: Everyone should pay attention to keeping warm in daily life, wear warm shoes and socks in the morning and evening, and soak your feet in hot water before going to bed. Because the feet are farthest from the heart and have less blood supply, soaking the feet in hot water can dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation and tissue nutrition in the feet, and enhance the body's immune capacity; it can also reduce leg soreness and help sleep.

The temperature during Cold Dew is lower than that during White Dew. Cold Dew is named after the White Dew. After the White Dew, the weather starts to get cooler. After Cold Dew, the temperature becomes even lower. After another 15 days, when Frost comes, the temperature will become even lower and gradually transition to winter.
