The ancients in China divided the cold dew into three stages: one stage was the swan goose; Second, the sparrow enters the water and becomes a clam; Three chrysanthemums have yellow flowers. In the cold dew season, China Nanling and the vast areas north of it have entered autumn, the northeast has entered late autumn, and the northwest has entered winter or is about to enter winter.
