A solar term in which plants no longer grow.

After the autumnal equinox, the weather really turned cold and the temperature dropped significantly. In the morning, some leaves will have dew condensation, which will attract people's attention under the sunlight. Therefore, this season is called cold dew, so it is an important task to prevent cold and keep warm. So what changes have taken place in plant growth? Let me give you a brief explanation.

Plant characteristics of cold dew solar terms

At this time, it has entered the late autumn season, and the surrounding scenery is characterized by the withering of yellow leaves. The heat of cold air in northern China has increased, and most areas are controlled by cold and high pressure, and the rainy season is over. It's sunny in Wan Li, with warm days and cool nights, and large daily temperature difference, which is beneficial to late rice fruiting. Flowers are mainly chrysanthemums. Because of their cold tolerance and variety, chrysanthemum exhibitions will be held everywhere and can be seen everywhere.

What are the traditional customs?

1. Climbing and drinking: When the air is crisp in autumn, people will get used to climbing, and the cold dew is close to the Double Ninth Festival. At this time, chrysanthemums are in full bloom. In order to get rid of autumn dryness, some areas have the custom of drinking "chrysanthemum wine". This custom, together with mountain climbing, has gradually moved towards the Double Ninth Festival and become a good way to keep fit.

2. Cricket fighting: This activity was very popular in Beijing in the past. Generally, hearing the chirping of crickets means that autumn is coming and the weather is getting colder and colder, reminding people that it is time to prepare winter clothes. Therefore, there is a saying that "lazy women are surprised". This adds a lively atmosphere to the quiet season.

3. Look at the red leaves: The so-called red leaves in Xiangshan are all over the sky, and many people go back there to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Moreover, China has a vast territory, spanning multiple latitudes, and the time presented on the vast land is different. The northern region, especially the north of the Yellow River, is suitable for viewing red leaves in the cold dew, which will attract many tourists to plan a trip.
