Eating Female Crabs
俗话说“西风响，蟹脚痒”，天一冷螃蟹的味道就要“正”了。“九月团脐，十月尖”，寒露时节雌蟹卵满、黄膏丰腴，正是吃母蟹的最佳季节，等农历十月以后，最好吃的则要轮到公蟹了。但过敏体质、胃寒者及孕妇、高血脂者不宜吃蟹黄，另外要注意螃蟹忌与柿子同吃，以免生成胃石。
As the saying goes, "When the west wind howls, the crab’s feet itch," signaling that the peak time for enjoying crabs arrives with the onset of cold weather. The phrase "September navel, October tip" highlights that during this period, female crabs are at their best, with full roe and abundant yellow paste. This makes it the prime time to savor female crabs. After the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the focus shifts to male crabs as the best choice for consumption.
However, caution is advised for certain groups. Individuals with crab allergies, sensitive stomachs, pregnant women, and those with high blood pressure should avoid crab roe. Additionally, it's important not to eat crabs together with persimmons to prevent the risk of gastric concretions.

寒露.节气养生
Solar Term Health
秋季凉热交替，气温逐渐下降，不要经常赤膊露身以防凉气侵入体内。“白露身不露,寒露脚不露”这是一条很好养身之道。“一场秋雨一场凉”，我们要随着天气转凉逐渐增添衣服，但添衣不要太多、太快。俗话说“春捂秋冻”。秋天适度经受些寒冷有利于提高皮肤和鼻粘膜耐寒力，对安度冬季有益。秋天早晚凉意甚浓要多穿些衣服。另外，秋季腹泻多发季节应特别注意腹部保暖。
In autumn, as the temperature gradually drops, it’s important to avoid going shirtless to prevent the invasion of cold air into the body. The saying, "Body covered in White Dew and feet wrapped in Cold Dew," suggests a simple yet effective way to nourish the body during this season. As the weather cools, we should gradually layer our clothing, guided by the proverb, "One autumn rain brings a new chill." However, it's crucial not to add too many layers too quickly.
Another saying, "Stay covered in spring and embrace the chill in autumn," emphasizes the benefits of moderate exposure to the autumn cold. This practice helps enhance the skin's and nasal mucosa's tolerance to cold, preparing the body for the winter ahead. Since autumn mornings and evenings are particularly cool, wearing appropriate clothing is essential. Additionally, special care should be taken to keep the abdomen warm, as autumn is a season prone to diarrhea.
寒露.节气诗词
池上
唐·白居易
袅袅凉风动，凄凄寒露零。
兰衰花始白，荷破叶犹青。
独立栖沙鹤，双飞照水萤。
若为寥落境，仍值酒初醒。
木芙蓉
唐·韩愈
新开寒露丛，远比水间红。
艳色宁相妒，嘉名偶自同。
采江官渡晚，搴木古祠空。
愿得勤来看，无令便逐风。
