The meaning of cold dew solar terms

"Cold dew" is a festival in late autumn, and the word "cold" first appeared in the 24 solar terms. If "white dew" is the transition from hot to cold, "cold dew" is the turning point from cold to cold.

According to the observation of nature, the ancient Chinese divided "cold dew" into three stages: the first stage is the arrival of Hongyan guests; Second, the sparrow enters the water and becomes a clam; Three chrysanthemums have yellow flowers. This means that in this festival, geese fly south, birds disappear and chrysanthemums are in full bloom.

Good years must be remembered, it is orange. Accompanied by "cold dew", there is a strong autumn. The forests in the north are all dyed, and the cicadas in the south are silent. "Lotus has no shelter from the rain, chrysanthemums and Ao Shuang branches", which is the most colorful season in late autumn.

After the "cold dew", the weather gradually turned cold. As the saying goes, "White dew does not show, cold dew does not show." Li Yanling, director of the Nutrition Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that the feet are farthest from the heart, the fat layer is weak and the heat preservation is poor. Once caught cold, it is easy to cause capillary contraction, which in turn leads to a decline in human resistance and a cold. "Citizens can keep their feet warm by wearing warm shoes and socks, soaking their feet in hot water and massage."

The air is dry before and after "cold dew", and "autumn dryness" is easy to hurt people. Li Yanling suggested eating more sweet, light and moist foods, such as autumn pear cream, persimmons, oranges and bananas, which can not only quench thirst, moisten the lungs and clear the heart, but also help to detoxify the intestines, regulate blood pressure and soothe the nerves.
