Eating Crabs ——The customs of Cold Dew in old Nanjing include eating crabs and packing up summer clothes. There is also a saying that goes "Cold Dew begins, Frost falls, the west wind blows, and crab feet itch." Crabs will taste better when the weather gets cold. "The belly button is round in September and pointed in October." Now is the best season to eat female crabs, with full eggs and rich yellow roe. After the tenth month of the lunar calendar, male crabs will become the most delicious. How to eat crabs: Steamed crabs - pinch the two sides of the large cover at the base of the two rows of crab legs with your hands, and then brush every place you can reach with a toothbrush. Brush it as clean as possible and place it in a container; then put the minced ginger in a small wine bowl, add the cooked soy sauce, sugar, MSG, rice wine, and sesame oil and mix well. Take another small bowl and add vinegar for later use; finally, put the crabs into the steamer and steam them for 15 to 20 minutes, and take them out when the crab shells turn bright red. With the arrival of Cold Dew, the climate turns from hot to cold, and all things gradually wither as the cold air grows. This is the season of alternation between hot and cold. In nature, the yin and yang energies begin to change, with yang gradually receding and yin gradually growing. Our body's physiological activities must also adapt to the changes in nature to ensure the physiological (yin and yang) balance in the body. What are the customs of Cold Dew?The custom of climbing heights - During the Cold Dew season, there is more dew and the temperature is lower. At this time, frost will occur in some areas of our country. The north has entered late autumn, with white clouds and red leaves, and occasional early frost. The south is also entering autumn, with cicadas silent and lotus leaves withered. Beijingers have a more popular custom of climbing heights. Jingshan Park, Badachu, Xiangshan and other places are all good places for climbing. The Double Ninth Festival for Climbing Heights will attract even more tourists.Farming customs - The weather during Cold Dew is very favorable for autumn harvest. There is a farmer's proverb: It's time to harvest yellow fireworks, catch fish and collect lotus roots. The soybeans are harvested in the cold open air, and the pomegranates and hawthorns are picked. Hanlu peach is a late-ripening peach variety in the north. It matures around the time of Hanlu, hence the name "Hanlu peach". Dietary customs - During the Cold Dew season, you should eat more soft foods such as sesame, glutinous rice, polished rice, honey, dairy products, etc. At the same time, increase the intake of chicken, duck, beef, pork liver, fish, shrimp, jujube, yam, etc. to improve your physical fitness; eat less spicy foods such as pepper, ginger, onion, and garlic, because overeating spicy foods can damage the body's yin essence. If conditions permit, you can cook some jujube, lotus seeds and ginkgo porridge and drink it regularly. Eating yam and water chestnuts regularly is also a good way to maintain health. Cold Dew Ballad <br /> During the Cold Dew season, the weather gets colder and farmers are busy every day. Wheat planting is still in full swing, but late rice harvesting is in a hurry. Sweet potatoes left for seeds are afraid of frost damage, and soybeans are harvested in the open air in the cold weather. It’s time to harvest the yellow flowers, and pick cotton in sunny weather. In the late-maturing cotton fields, do not delay in using chemicals to ripen the cotton. When grafting cucumbers in greenhouses, heat preservation and moisture retention are the key. |
