Excerpt from Time: The Chinese's Solar Terms
The geese return, the swallows fly south, and the birds begin to collect food for the winter. In the slightly cool air, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers floats from morning to night. Autumn is getting thicker, and it is already the season of white dew.
When I woke up in the morning, the laurel trees outside the courtyard were full of crystal dew. The host held the celadon plate, collected it meticulously, and went back to sencha. The Compendium of Materia Medica says that dew, "fried like a carrot, makes people live without hunger." "The ancients even rumored that dew can make people immortal. Emperor Wu of Han once set up an immortal chenglu plate in the Jianzhang Palace for this purpose. The bronze immortals were twenty feet tall, holding a copper plate and jade cup, respectfully, and taking on the dew in the sky.
It is said that Yang Guifei used to suck the dew on the petals every morning.
The dew on the flower branches is even more miraculous. The Qing Dynasty's "Hucheng Chronicle Song" said that on this day, people poured the dew collected from the flower branches into the Yantai, used ancient ink to mix well, and then dipped in ink with a clean brush, and drew a circle on the children's temples, which could avoid all kinds of diseases.
More people collected the dew to drink. Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" says that the water used to boil tea is "on the mountain, in the river, and under the well." "Miao Yu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" uses the snow on the plum blossoms to sencha. The most exquisite tea guest is to boil tea with dew. Dew boiled "white dew tea" is a must.
The tea picked by the Bailu Festival, named "Bailu Tea", is fragrant and mellow, different from the tender and weak spring tea, and the astringent and bitter summer tea.
On this day, in addition to collecting dew, people also brew rice wine. It is said that the rice wine brewed on this day is mellow and mellow, and the longer it is, the more fragrant it is, and it will make people drunk for thousands of miles without waking up. There is a record of this wine in the "Notes on the Water Classics": "There is a thousand miles of wine in Guiyang Chengxiang, and it is drunk to wake up at home." ”
"White Dew Rice Wine" is a must-have offering for the "White Dew Festival". Freshly laid grain and freshly picked fruits and vegetables, together with rice wine, were offered to the autumn gods and goddesses. Put on the incense, bow down, thank him for giving this year's good harvest, and pray for the next year's abundant grain.
After the sacrifice to the gods, the whole family immediately sat down around the Eight Immortals table. Before enjoying a sumptuous meal, the children and grandchildren should give their elderly people crutches that have been prepared early.
The old man with the cane, the crane with a childlike face, walking in the village, will get different respect. The crane has the posture of a fairy wind and bone, and is a symbol of longevity. People call longevity "Crane Shou" and "Crane Age"; the old man with a long forehead in the New Year painting is flying around in the sky on a crane.
Heron flying, crane singing, and drinking dew make this day have a special meaning.
People regard the heron as a strange bird with a certain tacit understanding with people, and the lonely Wang Yuwei (ancient tong "name") said, "Only the heron knows my intentions and always cocks its feet against the window of the ship"; the famous people who cultivate themselves and clean are called "crane singers"; and the dew is regarded as a symbol of high quality. "Towards the fall of the drinking Mulan, the fall of the autumn chrysanthemum." After Qu Yuan, drinking dew added another layer of otherworldly and independent attitude.
White Dew Folklore
Dew of white dew
White dew, the third solar term of autumn. "Dew" is a small water ball formed by the condensation of water vapor near the ground at night when it is cold, and it is called "white dew" because of its white color. "White dew beats walnuts, frost drops to pick persimmons." "The white dew is white, and the grain is full of yellow." At this time, the crops are about to ripen, and the earth is golden. Say goodbye to the "autumn tiger" and enter the mid-autumn season, which is a good season for autumn travel: away from the autumn clouds, cicadas are gagged and lotus, chrysanthemums are everywhere, maple leaves are affectionate, and the king is advised to take this scene.
White dew three waits
Bai Lu waited for the "Hongyan Coming", which is an important biological marker in the history of ancient phenological observation. During the white dew season, the geese come from the north of the desert, and there is already frost and snow on the way. Bai Lu waited for the second "Xuan Bird Return", and Xiao Yan flew towards the wintering ground. Spring warmth "Xuan Bird to", when coming is "than the wings double flying"; autumn cool "Xuan Bird return", when going is "dragging home with mouth". Bailu three times "flock of birds to raise shy", the flock of birds take advantage of the autumn fruits are abundant, autumn insects are fat, feast, raise full wings, in order to withstand the cold. At the same time, we accumulate and store food, and prepare enough "grain and grass" for the winter.
White dew eats

In addition, Nanjing people have the habit of drinking white dew tea. Fuzhou also has a tradition that white dew must eat longan. In Cangnan and Pingyang, Zhejiang, on the day of bailu, "ten kinds of white (herbs with white characters)" should be collected to nourish the body with simmered black bone white hair chicken (or duck).

Bailu Whisper
May someone ask you if the porridge is warm, and someone will read your clothes to be added
Dew from tonight white, night since this day cool.
Recently, there have been many places where the rain has been continuous, and the coolness has become more obvious. "It's cold, remember to add more clothes", who was the first to bring this intimate reminder to you?
It's an old friend. Busy with each other, and thinking of each other. Time and distance are not estranged from you, but used to brew this friendship and make it more mellow.
It's a lover. Love each other near and far, and never get tired of being there for a long time. Love is in the sea oath mountain alliance, and even more in the smoke and fire of chai rice oil and salt. No matter how strong the love, don't forget to start from the vivid and concrete.
It's the parents. You will always care more about you than you do for their people. In your habitual nagging, they are aging. But this unrequited love and concern has never been less than half a point.
White dew is cold, but also the opportunity for people to get closer. The poet said that nianyu spent his whole life wandering away from the red dust, and he could not find a person who was gentle like porridge. In a simple but heart-warming greeting, we are enough to realize that it is a very happy thing to have a person who is gentle and knows cold and hot around him.
Those who care about your mood, care about your health, and worry about your recent situation are all gifts given by life. Believe that there is always someone who remembers you, pay attention to feel, the world is worth it.
If you are being treated warmly, if you want to be treated warmly, then please be a gentle person like porridge, and do not hesitate to give warmth and love.
It was getting cold, but it was okay that we had each other.
