白露 | White Dew

白露

[ 唐·杜甫 ]

白露团甘子，清晨散马蹄。

圃开连石树，船渡入江溪。

凭几看鱼乐，回鞭急鸟栖。

渐知秋实美，幽径恐多蹊。

蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。

所谓伊人，在水一方。

溯洄从之，道阻且长。

溯游从之，宛在水中央

白露，是农历二十四节气中的第十五个节气，表示孟秋时节的结束和仲秋时节的开始。

听！宝贝们正在了解白露的由来和食俗：

White Dew is the 15th solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, which indicates the real beginning of cool autumn.

Listen! Children are learning about the origin and food customs of White Dew:

白露，是”二十四节气”中的第15个节气，秋季第3个节气，是干支历申月的结束与酉月的起始。斗指癸;太阳达黄经165度;于公历9月7-9日交节。”白露”是反映自然界寒气增长的重要节气。表示天气逐渐转凉，白昼有阳光尚热，但太阳一落山气温便很快下降，昼夜温差拉大。

时至白露，夏季风逐渐为冬季风所代替，冷空气转守为攻，加上太阳直射点南移，北半球日照时间变短，光照强度减弱，地面辐射散热快，所以温度下降速度也逐渐加快。白露基本结束了暑天的闷热，天气渐渐转凉，寒生露凝。古人以四时配五行，秋属金，金色白，以白形容秋露，故名”白露”

White Dew is the 15th solar term in the “Twenty-Four Solar Terms” and the third solar term in autumn. The sun reaches 165 degrees of the yellow longitude; it meets the festival on September 7-9 in the Gregorian calendar. “White Dew” is a solar term that cold increases. Although the sunshine in the daytime continues, temperatures decrease rapidly after sunset. The summer monsoon is gradually replaced by the winter monsoon, and the cold air turns from defense to offensive. In addition, the direct sun point moves south, the northern hemisphere’s sunshine time becomes shorter.

二十四节气的“白露”，此时的气温和湿度都有所降低，气压有所升高，在这种条件下人体消耗的热量也增多，使得所需的能量突然加大，而经过整个夏天身体内部能耗的“亏空”还没有补上，便容易出现倦怠、疲乏的现象。要缓解这种现象首先应调整起居时间和加强运动，改变夏季晚睡的习惯，保证休息时间比夏天多出大约一个小时，在清晨和傍晚时分可外出散步，增加运动量，以激发身体的活力。

在饮食上适当摄取滋阴润肺的柔润食物，多吃富含维生素的碱性食品，如苹果、胡萝卜、海带等，这些食品有助于消除身体疲劳感，肉类当中可选择鸭肉，特别是老鸭能补五脏之阴，清虚劳之烦热，并补血行水、养胃生津，适合初秋食用。

During this period, the temperature and humidity reduce, and the air pressure increase. We should change our daily routine and strengthen exercise. Do not go to bed late, and ensure that our rest time is about one hour longer than summer. You can go for a walk in the early morning and evening; increase the amount of exercise to stimulate your body’s vitality; eat more alkaline foods rich in vitamins, such as apples, carrots, kelp, etc. These foods can help eliminate physical fatigue. Among meats, you can choose duck meat, especially an old duck. It can nourish the yin of the five internal organs. Clear the irritating heat and nourish the blood and water, nourish the stomach and promote the body fluid. It is suitable for early autumn.  

这个节气蔬菜还可食用冬瓜、丝瓜、苦瓜、小白菜、绿豆芽等消热食物，薏米、赤小豆等杂粮也可以多加食用，常喝淡粥、清茶、豆浆、果汁等。经过炎夏和秋暑的消耗，人体的消化功能逐渐下降，肠道抗病能力也减弱，稍有不慎，就可能发生腹泻，容易上火的食物尽量少吃，无论肉类或瓜蔬、水果都要新鲜。俗语说“秋粥宜人”，这段时间也应多喝清淡健脾胃的粥类，如薏米粥、白果腐竹粥、小米粥等。

In this solar term, you can eat vegetables, like Winter melon, loofah, bitter gourd, cabbage, mung bean sprouts, and other heat-relieving foods, barley, red bean, and other grains. Drink light porridge, tea, soy milk, juice, and so on. After the consumption of hot summer and autumn heat, the digestive function of the human body gradually declines, and the ability of intestinal disease resistance is weak. Try to eat more meat, melons, vegetables, or fruits. During this time, you should also drink light and invigorating porridge, such as barley porridge, ginkgo yuba porridge, and millet porridge. 

Wash and drain about 300 grams of fresh lilies; about 1500 grams of a duck; put the duck in a large porcelain basin, drizzle a small amount of rice wine and salt, and finally bend the duck head into the abdomen; steam 4 hours, until the duck meat is crispy.

Food supplement : Duck soup is not only nutritious and delicious but also nourishes the stomach and nourishes body fluid. It is matched with lilies that nourish the lungs and relieve cough, clears the heart, and calms the nerves. This dish is good for early autumn.

Millet and date kernel porridge: 100 grams of millet, 15 grams of minced dates, and 30 grams of honey. Cook the millet porridge, wait until it is cooked, add the chopped jujube kernels, and stir well. While eating, add honey and eat it two times a day. It can nourish the spleen and moisturize dryness, calm the mind and soothe the nerves.

天气渐转凉，气爽风凉，早晚的温差较大，老师温馨提示各位小朋友们要增添衣物。

The weather is getting cooler, the air is refreshing and the breeze is cool, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, the teacher warmly reminds the children to add clothes.
