White Dews: 白露

White Dews is the 15th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 165° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 180°.

白露是第15個節氣。它始于太陽到達天文經度165° ，結束于太陽到達天文經度180°。

“白露”的英文是不是很簡單?完全按字面來，white(白色)+dews(露水的復數形式)=白露

天氣

There is typically autumn weather during Bailu period, when wild geese begin to migrate to the south and birds start to stock food for the long winter time. Hot summer is gone. However, it could be still warm in south China. It is different in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River valleys where it is usually humid during this period, as the saying goes: "It’s unusual to see ten continuous sunny days."

白露時節，是典型的秋日天氣，在這個時候大雁開始向南遷徙，鳥兒開始儲備食物果凍。炎熱的夏天已經過去了。然而，在中國南部依然炎熱。俗話說：“能遇上連續十天晴朗已經很不尋常了?！痹谶@段時間，長江及黃河下游地區通常表現為陰雨連綿的天氣。

生活

This is also the season that people may be exposed to various diseases like nasal disease, asthma, and bronchitis. Too much seafood or cold, spicy, or greasy food may not be good for health, but food containing more vitamins is good for your diet since the weather is getting drier after White Dews.

這個季節也是人們容易感染上如鼻炎、哮喘、支氣管炎等各種疾病。食用過多的海鮮或生冷食品、辣的或者油膩食物對健康都是不利的，但攝入富含更多維生素的食物是非常有益健康的，因為在白露以后天氣將越來越干燥。
