Which solar term indicates that the weather is getting cold, and it is most suitable for enjoying chrysanthemums and eating hairy crabs?

It indicates that the weather is getting colder and colder. Is the solar term or the cold dew the most suitable for enjoying chrysanthemums and eating hairy crabs?

Every year in Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 195 degrees on October 8 or 9, it is cold dew. Cold dew is the fifth solar term in autumn. After the cold dew is the first frost, and after the first frost is beginning of winter.

"Cold dew" means that the temperature is lower than the white dew, and the dew on the ground is colder and will soon condense into frost.

In ancient China, cold dew was divided into three stages: "at the beginning, Hongyan visited, at the second stage, birds flooded into clams, and at the third stage, chrysanthemums blossomed yellow flowers." In this solar term, geese move south in a line or herringbone queue; In the cold late autumn, all the birds disappeared. The ancients saw a large number of clams suddenly appearing on the seashore, and the stripes and colors of shells were very similar to those of birds, so they thought that clams evolved from birds. The third "chrysanthemum blossoms" means that the chrysanthemums are all open at this time.

In the cold dew season, it is autumn in Lingnan and the vast areas north of Lingnan in China, and winter has entered or is about to enter in Northeast and Northwest China. In addition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which snows all the year round, snow has usually started in the northeast and northern Xinjiang. The temperature in most parts of South China continues to drop. The daily average temperature in South China is less than 20℃, even in the areas along the Yangtze River, it is difficult to rise above 30℃, while the minimum temperature can be reduced to below 10℃. Except for a few valley lowlands, the average temperature in the northwest plateau is generally lower than 10℃.

According to the standard of dividing the four seasons by climatology, it is already winter. During the cold dew, it is already late autumn in the north, with white clouds and red leaves and occasional early frost.

Beijingers love climbing mountains. Jingshan Park, Badachu and Xiangshan are all good places to climb mountains, attracting many tourists.

At this time, autumn is getting stronger in the south, and cicadas are dying. In Jiangnan area, people not only admire chrysanthemums, but also eat crabs and fish.

Autumn fishing, also known as "autumn fishing", means that every cold and dew season, the temperature drops rapidly, and the sun in deep water can't get through, so all the fish swim to shallow water with higher water temperature, so fishing has to go to shallow water.
