What are the customs of Cold Dew in 2018? Is Cold Dew a good day?
After the National Day holiday, we ushered in the Cold Dew solar term among the 24 solar terms. So what are the customs of the Cold Dew solar term? Is Cold Dew good in 2018? Follow the editor to find out! The eighth month of the lunar calendar is also called "Mid-Autumn", and every autumn rain brings a chill. Mr. Shui Mo will accompany you every day of the eighth lunar month of 2018. 1. Because the Cold Dew Festival is close to the Double Ninth Festival, many customs of the Cold Dew Festival are similar to those of the Double Ninth Festival, such as climbing heights, appreciating chrysanthemums, eating flower cakes, drinking chrysanthemum wine, etc. Especially in the north, after the Cold Dew Festival, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the blue is clear, and it is a good time to climb high and see far. Admiring chrysanthemums and eating flower cakes are also customs after the Cold Dew Festival, and are an important part of the Double Ninth Festival.
2. To get rid of autumn dryness, there is a custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine in some areas. Chrysanthemum wine was called "longevity wine" in ancient times. It is made from chrysanthemum, glutinous rice and koji, and has a cool and sweet taste. The famous writer Tao Yuanming has a poem that says "chrysanthemum wine can prolong life, and the temples will be covered with white hair." He believes that chrysanthemum wine can not only eliminate worries, but also has the effect of prolonging life.
3. In addition to the above customs, Nanjing also has the custom of steaming crabs during the Cold Dew solar term. As the saying goes, "Cold Dew comes, Frost falls, the west wind blows, and crab feet itch." The Cold Dew Festival is also the time when the cool autumn breeze blows, the chrysanthemums turn yellow, the crabs become plump, and the autumn atmosphere is strong. "The belly button is round in September and pointed in October." At this time, the female crabs are full of eggs and have rich yellow roe. It is the best season to eat female crabs. Therefore, after the Cold Dew Festival, you might as well eat a few fat crabs to satisfy your taste buds. October 8, 2018, Monday Libra (Gregorian calendar)
