Feels like summer waved goodbye and autumn just RSVP’d. 🌾💨 White Dew, or Bailu in Chinese, is the 15th of the 24 solar terms and the third milestone of autumn. It arrives around early September, reminding us that nights are cooling down fast.
What’s in a Name?
The term White Dew comes from those delicate dewdrops that form when the air chills at night. You’ll spot them on leaves, petals, and grass blades—like tiny pearls greeting the morning sun. 🌄✨
Seasonal Shifts
- Cool Mornings: Temperatures dip noticeably, so pull out your cozy layers.
- Dewy Landscapes: Early birds can catch stunning scenes in parks and countryside.
- Nature’s Reminder: Time to harvest late-summer crops and prep for autumn vibes.
How to Celebrate
Whether you’re in the city or exploring rural trails, take a morning walk and capture the glistening dew with your phone. 📸 Try a dewy tea ritual or join local harvest festivals—traditions rooted in the Chinese mainland.
White Dew is a gentle nudge to slow down, notice nature’s small wonders, and embrace the shift into cozier days. 🍂💧
