The Origin of Cold Dew, one of the 24 Solar Terms

Cold Dew occurs on October 8 or 9 every year when the sun reaches 195° of the ecliptic longitude. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the ninth month, the dew is cold and is about to condense." Cold Dew means that the temperature is lower than that during White Dew, the dew on the ground is colder, and is about to condense into frost. During the Cold Dew season, the Nanling Mountains and vast areas to the north have entered autumn, and the northeast and northwest regions have entered or are about to enter winter.
——The Cold Dew in 2019 is on October 8, the day after the Double Ninth Festival <br /> Cold Dew is the seventeenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar. Cold Dew occurs on October 8 or 9 every year when the sun reaches 195 degrees of the ecliptic longitude. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the ninth month, the dew is cold and is about to condense." "Tongwei·Book of Filial Piety Yuanshenqi" says: "Fifteen days after the autumnal equinox, the Big Dipper points to Xin, which is the Cold Dew. It means that the dew is cold and is about to condense." The temperature at this time is lower than that during "White Dew", and there is more dew. The originally white and crystal dew on the ground is about to condense into frost, and it is cold, so it is called Cold Dew.

The difference between Bailu and Hanlu

"Different Times": The White Dew solar term comes on September 7-9 every year, when the sun reaches 165° of the ecliptic longitude, which is the White Dew solar term.
The Cold Dew solar term falls on October 8-9 every year. At this time, the sun revolves to the position of 195° of the ecliptic longitude. We call this day the Cold Dew solar term.
《Different positions of solar terms》: Bailu is the fifteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the third solar term in autumn. The autumn heat wave has just ended and it is a transitional solar term between summer and autumn.
The Cold Dew solar term is the seventeenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term in autumn. After the Cold Dew solar term, the weather starts to get colder. You need to wear long sleeves or thin jackets in your daily life. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and it is easy to catch a cold.
"Different Diet": There are seasonal foods during the White Dew solar term, such as White Dew tea, White Dew wine, White Dew chicken and other seasonal foods. Chinese people pay attention to following the natural season. Eating these foods during the White Dew solar term can nourish the body and prevent diseases.
It is late autumn when Cold Dew comes, and this is the time when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. You can pick chrysanthemums to make chrysanthemum wine, chrysanthemum cake, and chrysanthemum tea. Cold Dew is also the season when persimmons are on the market, so you can eat persimmons.

——The "Pingqi Method" used in ancient my country divided Cold Dew into three stages: "The first stage is the arrival of wild geese; the second stage is the transformation of sparrows into clams after entering the water; the third stage is the yellow bloom of chrysanthemums." During this solar term, wild geese form a line or a V-shape and migrate south in large numbers; it was cold in late autumn and all the birds disappeared, so the ancients saw many clams suddenly appear on the seashore, and the stripes and colors of the shells were very similar to those of birds, so they thought they were transformed from birds; the third stage, "the transformation of chrysanthemums into yellow flowers" means that chrysanthemums are generally in bloom at this time.
