Chinese ancient wisdom puts the year into 24 solar terms. Cold dew is the 17th solar term of the year. It starts this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23.

寒露是一年中的第十七個節(jié)氣，今年從10月8日開始，到10月23日結(jié)束。

At this time, the weather gets colder in most parts of China. The dew is greater and colder. That’s why this time is called cold dew. There will be less rain, but there will be some fog.

在寒露時節(jié)，中國大部分地區(qū)的天氣會變冷。露水會越來越重，越來越寒冷，這就是為什么這個節(jié)氣被稱為寒露。

Good things come along at this time, too. Autumn crops will be ripe. It’s also a good time for fishing.That’s because it’s colder in water during the cold dew time. Fish like to swim in shallow water where it is warmer.

一般，寒露就代表著豐收，莊稼成熟、河魚鮮美。

Hiking is another popular activity during this time. North China takes on a beautiful look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves, and early frost. Chongyang Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, often falls around cold dew. It is the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar. On this day, people often climb hills and wear cornels.

寒露時節(jié)很適合登山徒步，北方的秋天，秋高氣爽，藍天白云、層林盡染，呈現(xiàn)出一幅美麗的秋天畫卷。九九重陽節(jié)，通常也在這個時段，人們有著登高、戴茱萸的傳統(tǒng)習俗。
