In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people collect "ten kinds of white" (there is also a saying of "three kinds of white") on this day to feed black-bone white-feathered chickens (or ducks). It is said that eating them can nourish the body and remove wind (arthritis). The “ten kinds of white” here refer to ten kinds of herbs with the word “white” in their name, such as baimumo, baimaoku, etc., which correspond to the literal meaning of “bailu”.Drink Bailu Tea: Old Nanjing people are very fond of "Bailu Tea". The tea trees at this time have gone through the scorching heat of summer, and the period around Bailu is the best time for its growth. Drinking Bailu rice wine: Old Nanjing people of southern and Zhejiang origin have the custom of brewing Bailu rice wine. Bailu rice wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains and has a slightly sweet taste, so it is called "Bailu rice wine". Bailu Festival: Bailu Festival is also the time when people in Taihu Lake offer sacrifices to King Yu. Eating sweet potatoes: People believe that eating sweet potatoes during the White Dew Festival can prevent stomach acid after eating shredded sweet potatoes or shredded sweet potatoes with meals throughout the year. Therefore, in the old days, farmers used to eat sweet potatoes during the White Dew Festival. The temperature difference is getting bigger. Eating hot sweet potatoes at this time can really warm you up from the inside out. Eating longan: There is a traditional custom in Fuzhou, Fujian called "eating longan during the White Dew Festival". The folk belief is that eating longan on the day of White Dew has a miraculous effect of nourishing the body. Because longan itself has many functions such as invigorating qi and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, moisturizing the skin and beautifying, it can also treat anemia, insomnia, neurasthenia and other diseases. Farming: Cold air becomes increasingly active during this season, and low temperatures often occur in autumn, affecting the heading and flowering of late rice. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent low temperature damage and diseases and insect pests. When cold air invades, you can use watering to keep warm. Watering more than two inches before the temperature drops can increase the temperature by 1~2℃. When the temperature drops, you can drain shallow water during the day and irrigate at night on sunny days; on rainy days, you need to irrigate with thick water; generally the weather should be dry or wet, with wet being the main factor. During this solar term, the heat gradually dissipates, the weather becomes clear and crisp, the dew drops are cool, and the sweet osmanthus is fragrant. It is the golden season for tourism.
