In the autumn wind, we usher in a poetic solar term. Its name is “white dew”. At this time, the temperature difference between day and night becomes larger, and the water vapor condenses into water droplets, falling on the flowers, plants and trees, crystal clear in the morning light. Hence the name "white dew".
The autumn wind takes away the moisture in the air. "Anti-autumn dryness" is the key to health preservation. At this time, the harvest of melons and fruits is good, and people can try new things and add nutrition.
In this solar term, there will be the following folk food:
1. Making rice wine

They are especially happy to make rice wine. The rice wine brewed at this time is warm and slightly sweet, and is called "white rice wine". We can use paper cup when drinking outside.
In Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a folk custom that "white dew must eat seeds of wampee". People believe that eating seeds of wampee in white dew to nourish the body.

Bailu season is the period when walnuts mature. There is a saying in the farm saying that "white dew beats walnuts and eats walnuts". This is not because the walnuts are mature. The main reason is that after the white dew solar term comes, the weather is getting colder. And the human body needs some warming and tonic food for the body to gradually adapt.
