Cold dew coincides with chrysanthemum in full bloom, which is different from most flowers in spring and summer. The heavier the frost and dew, the more gorgeous the chrysanthemums are. In order to get rid of autumn dryness, people have the custom of drinking "chrysanthemum wine". Chrysanthemum wine is made from chrysanthemum, glutinous rice and distiller's yeast. It tastes cool and sweet, and has the effects of nourishing liver, improving eyesight, strengthening brain and delaying aging.

According to the observation of nature, the ancients in China divided 15 days after the cold dew into three periods: first-class geese; Second, the sparrow enters the water and becomes a clam; Three chrysanthemums have yellow flowers.

Chrysanthemum is a precious ornamental flower cultivated by long-term artificial selection, and it is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. In the cold dew season, most chrysanthemums have been opened, so there is a custom of enjoying chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine. In ancient myths and legends, vegetable chrysanthemum was also endowed with the meaning of good luck and longevity.
