What does cold dew eat? What foods does Cold Dew eat?

Cold dew is the season of late autumn and the turning point from cold to cold. What food should we eat at this special time?

When the cold dew comes, the weather turns from cold to cold. According to the four-season health preserving theory of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter" in traditional Chinese medicine, the folk custom of "eating sesame seeds in cold dew" has been formed. Cold dew solar terms are generally similar to the Double Ninth Festival in time. Because "Gao" and "Gao" are homophonic, meaning "step by step", there is a custom of eating flower cakes. As the saying goes, "autumn wind rings and crab feet itch." Hairy crabs become fat in the cold dew solar terms. In the cold dew season, the mother crab is full of eggs and rich in yellow paste, which is the best season to eat hairy crabs. Before the cold dew solar terms, it was the time when osmanthus was in full bloom. The ingenious Suzhou people will pick sweet-scented osmanthus, brew an altar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine by themselves, and then hold a banquet to entertain their friends in the cold open air. In order to get rid of autumn dryness, people will brew chrysanthemum wine with chrysanthemum, glutinous rice and distiller's yeast.
