What are the customs and practices during Cold Dew?

Prevent frost damage <br /> A farmer's proverb says: "Crops fear the cold dew wind, and people fear poverty in old age." The temperature is lower before and after the cold dew. At this time, the crystal white dew gradually turns into condensed white frost. Before and after the Cold Dew season, crops in the fields are most afraid of being attacked by cold winds, so farmers should pay attention to preventing frost damage in the fields.
Autumn fishing <br /> At this time, the sun is not as strong as in summer, and the deep water area is difficult to be exposed to the sun, so fish and crabs move to the warmer shallow water area, which is a good time to fish by the water.
Viewing red leaves <br /> Visiting Xiangshan to view red leaves during the Cold Dew season has long been a traditional custom for Beijing residents and a highlight of their autumn outings. The autumn wind is rustling, and the leaves are turning yellow and red. The continuous drop in temperature after the Cold Dew season turned the maple leaves in Beijing red. In the golden autumn, the forests of Xiangshan Mountain are dyed with red leaves, which are as beautiful as rosy clouds and picturesque.
Eat sesame seeds <br /> When Cold Dew arrives, the weather turns from cool to cold. According to the traditional Chinese medicine theory of "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter". At this time, people should nourish yin, prevent dryness, moisten the lungs and benefit the stomach. Therefore, the custom of "eating sesame seeds during Cold Dew" came into being among the people. In Beijing, sesame-related foods become popular items around the time of Cold Dew, such as sesame crisps, sesame and mung bean cakes, and sesame baked buns.
Climbing Customs <br /> If the weather turns cooler and dew begins to appear during the White Dew season, the dew increases and the temperature drops even lower during the Cold Dew season. At this time, frost will occur in some areas of our country. The north has entered late autumn, with white clouds and red leaves, and occasional early frost. The south is also entering autumn, with cicadas silent and lotus leaves withered.
