Introduction to Cold Dew Solar Term
Cold Dew is the seventeenth of the twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term of autumn. Annually on October 8th or 9th, when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 195 degrees, it is Cold Dew. During this period, northern regions already show signs of late autumn, with a significant drop in temperature. Water vapor condenses into crystal-clear dew in the early morning, and it is colder than during "White Dew," hence the name "Cold Dew." The day-night temperature difference further increases, indicating a transition from cool to cold weather, an important sign of late autumn.
Customs and Health Preservation during Cold Dew
During the Cold Dew season, folk customs in China include drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating crabs, climbing high for distant views, and appreciating red leaves. Ancient people believed that chrysanthemums had the effect of prolonging life, and drinking chrysanthemum wine around the Double Ninth Festival was a tradition. In terms of dietary health, the climate is dry at this time, so it is advisable to drink more water and eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as pears, tremella, honey, sesame, lotus seeds, etc., and eat less spicy food. At the same time, it is important to moderately practice "autumn freezing" and strengthen warmth, especially for the feet and abdomen, to prevent colds. Engaging in appropriate outdoor activities, such as walking and mountain climbing, is beneficial for physical and mental health, but one should act within their capacity and avoid overexertion.
