Is the Cold Dew Festival on August 19, 2017 a good day? What are the customs of Cold Dew?
Cold Dew is one of the 24 solar terms of the Chinese nation. The arrival of Cold Dew means that we are about to enter the cool autumn and also usher in the harvest season. So is the 19th day of the eighth lunar month in 2017 a good day for the Cold Dew Festival? What are the customs of Cold Dew? Let’s follow the editor to learn more about it. The golden autumn is in August. We harvest beautiful fruits, smell the sweet fragrance of August osmanthus, and spend every day of the eighth lunar month together. The August special topic of Fortune Teller.com explains every day of the eighth lunar month.Is the Cold Dew Festival on August 19, 2017 a good day?: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : When the sun reaches 195° 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, the northeast has entered late autumn, and the northwest has entered or is about to enter winter.The temperature is gradually dropping. The three solar terms of Bailu, Hanlu and Shuangjiang all represent the condensation of water vapor, and Hanlu is the transition of climate from cool to cold. At night, look up at the starry sky and you will find that the seasons have changed and the "Big Mars" (Antares in Scorpio), representing midsummer, has set. We can faintly hear the footsteps of winter. During this season, temperatures continue to drop in most parts of southern my country. The average daily temperature in South China is less than 20℃. Even in the coastal areas of the Yangtze River, the mercury column hardly rises above 30℃, while the lowest temperature can drop below 10℃. Except for a few river valley lowlands in the Northwestern Plateau, the average temperature over a five-day period is generally below 10°C. According to the climatological standard for dividing the four seasons, it is already winter. The frost covers thousands of miles, which is very different from the autumn scenery in southern China. What are the customs of Cold Dew?Enjoying maple leaves <br /> Many places have the custom of enjoying maple leaves. The famous saying that frost leaves are redder than February flowers also refers to the custom of this season. However, there are no red maple leaves in the Cold Dew solar term, but only in late autumn.Eating Flower Cake <br /> As the weather gets colder, the trees and flowers are about to wither, so people call this "saying goodbye to green". People climb mountains and eat flower cakes on the ninth day of the ninth month. Because "高" and "糕" are homophones, the cakes for this festival are called "重阳花糕", which means "progress step by step". Appreciating Chrysanthemums <br /> Every season is looking for flowers that suit its spirit and temperament. The ninth month of the lunar calendar, when Cold Dew arrives, is also known as the Chrysanthemum Month, which is the month of chrysanthemums. Unlike most flowers that bloom in spring and summer, chrysanthemums are off-season flowers. The colder the frost and the heavier the dew, the more beautiful the chrysanthemums bloom. In ancient my country, Cold Dew was divided into three stages: "The first stage is the arrival of wild geese; the second stage is the entry of sparrows into water and the formation of clams; the third stage is the beginning of the blooming of chrysanthemums." "The beginning of the blooming of chrysanthemums" refers to the fact that chrysanthemums are generally blooming at this time. Climbing <br /> 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 <br /> The weather during the Cold Dew season is very favorable for autumn harvest. There is a farmer's proverb: It is time to harvest yellow flowers, 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". Making Pickled Fish The Dong people in western Hunan have the custom of making pickled fish during the Cold Dew season. It is said that the fish marinated with rice wine, salt, glutinous rice, chili powder, pepper powder, shredded ginger and other condiments on this day tastes particularly good. |
