Historical origin of cold dew:

Cold dew is the end of the full moon in the dry calendar and the beginning of the full moon. At night, looking up at the starry sky, you will find that the "Big Mars" (Antares) representing midsummer has sunk into the west. After the cold dew, the height of the sun continued to decrease and the temperature gradually decreased. Cold dew is called "cold dew" because the temperature is much lower than that of Bailu solar terms, and cold produces dew condensation.

There is a proverb in China called "Dew first turns white and then cold", which means that after the dew festival, the dew turns from a little coolness in early autumn to a little coolness in late autumn. There is also a proverb about cold dew: "Cold dew has gone through three dynasties, but you still need to find a bridge after crossing the water", which means that the weather is chilly and you can't wade across the river or go to the fields barefoot as before. During the cold dew, people can obviously feel the change of temperature difference.
