10月8日,即阴历八月廿二日,是今年的第17个节气——寒露。比之白露时分,此时气温更低,露水几乎要凝结成霜。
October 8, or the 22nd of the eighth month of Chinese lunar calendar, marks the 17th solar term – Hanlu (Cold Dew), when temperature is much lower than that of White Dew and the dews are almost condensed into frost.
寒露季节,蟹肥菊黄,正是赏菊食蟹的好时节。此时雌蟹已经成熟,蟹黄饱满,蟹肉丰腴。不过蟹性寒,以酒解之最是自然。而用此时盛开的菊花酿酒,更有疏风除热、养肝明目的功效,是自汉代流传至今的传统习俗。
Hanlu is the perfect time to enjoy crab feast and appreciate chrysanthemums. The female crabs are mature with creamy roe and tender meat. A natural accompaniment to cold-natured crab is wine, which is even better if it is made of chrysanthemums. Drinking chrysanthemum wine is an ancient tradition with wind-dispersing, heat-clearing, liver-nourishing and eyesight-improving functions ever since the Han dynasty.
