Chinese ancient wisdom puts the year into 24 solar terms. 1 It starts this year on Oct. 8 and ends on Oct. 22.
At this time, the weather gets colder in most parts of China. The dew（露水）is greater and colder. That's why this time is called Cold Dew. There will be less rain, but there will be some fog.
Good things come alone at this time, too. Autumn crops will be ripe（成熟）. It's also a good time for fishing. That's because it's colder in water during the Cold Dew time. 2 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（霜）.
Chongyang Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, often falls around Cold Dew. It is on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. 3
Food during Cold Dew
• Pomegranates（石榴）
Pomegranates are ripe during Cold Dew. Chinese people think pomegranates stand for many children and many good wishes. 4
• Hawthorns（山楂）
There is a saying that goes, “It is time to harvest hawthorn during Cold Dew.” For a long time, people have used hawthorns in herbal medicine. They think it's good for blood flow and heart health.
• Chrysanthemum wine
Chrysanthemum is the seasonal flower of Cold Dew. 5 This is also a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival.
