Want to know more about the dates in the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2018? Please pay attention to our Mr. Shui Mo’s special topic on the eighth month of the lunar calendar!What are the customs and activities during Cold Dew?If the weather turns cooler and dew begins to appear during the White Dew season , then during the Cold Dew season, the dew increases and the temperature drops even 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 the Cold Dew period is very favorable for the autumn harvest. There is a folk proverb: It is time to harvest the yellow fireworks, catch adult 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 excessive consumption of 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. The Cold Dew solar term arrives on October 8th or 9th every year, marking late autumn in the north and autumn in the south. The weather in Cold Dew is colder than that in White Dew, and people have many customs to welcome the arrival of Cold Dew, such as eating flower cakes, climbing mountains, eating sesame seeds, appreciating maple leaves and so on. The ancients attached great importance to the Cold Dew solar term. Ancient people's poems about Cold Dew:Cold Dew on the Parasol Tree Leaves on a Moonlit Night (Dai Cha)The moon is white and dew is beginning to form on the sparse tung leaves. The dripping light is full, the brilliant colors are cold. The wind shakes the jade pendant, and the branches move with the precious pearls. The cold air makes me feel like it’s late autumn, the faint sounds make me feel like the night is getting late. The desire to flow through the sky is condensed, moistening everything and making it clean is a sight to behold. Don't be tired of watching, it will be more difficult to gather together. Cold Dew (Zuoheshui) The sky is high, hot during the day and cool at night, the grass is sparse and the sycamore trees are turning yellow. Enjoy the fragrance of chrysanthemums and sow wheat during the day, and drink pear shells at night to nourish the "Dream of Chongqing in the Examination Hall on August 19th" (Wang Anshi) The autumn is long and endless in the empty courtyard, and the cold dew comes at dusk, making me worry about my thin clothes. The city is already filled with the noise of people talking, and the sun has not yet reached the Fusang mountain. The love that I cherish forever has become a dream, the jade color seems to make my face happy. After we know each other, we will no longer be separated, and we will talk and laugh leisurely under the bright moon. "On the Pond" (Bai Juyi) The cool breeze blows and the cold dew falls. The orchid flowers begin to turn white when they wither, and the lotus leaves remain green when they break. A crane perches alone on the sand, and two fireflies fly in pairs, illuminating the water. If you are in a desolate place, you will still feel like you have just sobered up from drinking. "Jade Butterfly" (Liu Yong) Looking out, the rain has stopped and the clouds have dispersed. I lean on the railing quietly, watching the autumn scenery. The bleak evening scene was enough to stir up Song Yu’s sadness. The wind is gentle, the apple blossoms are aging; the moon dew is cold, and the parasol leaves are turning yellow. Express emotional pain. Where are my old friends? The smoke and water are endless. memorable. The literary party, the lonely moon, the changing years. The sea is vast and the mountains are far away, and I don’t know where Xiaoxiang is! Thinking of the two swallows from afar, it is difficult to rely on them for news; pointing to the evening sky, I can only see their return flight in vain. Looking at each other sadly. Standing in the setting sun, listening to the cry of the wild geese. "Wagtail on Withered Lotus" (Tang Yin) The birds are flying, calling, and walking in a hurry, and the cold dew is about to form balls in the fields. Don’t say that everyone in the world is your brother, for even your own flesh and blood are now looking at you with cold eyes. Hibiscus (Han Yu) The newly opened Cold Dew bushes are much redder than those between the water. Beauty is jealous of each other, good reputations are shared by everyone. It's late at Guandu, and the old shrine is empty. I hope you can come and see it often, and not let yourself be swept away by the wind. |
