Cold Dew is the 17th of the 24 solar terms on the Traditional Chinese calendar and falls on October 8 this year. The dew that condenses during the cold of the night will become frost as the season progresses. During this time, temperatures drop with rain falling in many parts of the country.
In this episode of "Elegance in culture," a CGTN program about Hanfu and Chinese calligraphy, Cherry Qiu recites and writes a poem by Bai Juyi from the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
Sunset and Moonrise on the River
The departing sunbeams pave a way on the river;
Half of its waves turn red and the other half shiver.
How I love the third night of the ninth moon aglow!
The dewdrops look like pearls; the crescent like a bow.
