今天是我国二十四节气中的“寒露”。传统的中国农历（lunar calendar）根据太阳的运行周期将一年分成了24个节气（solar terms )，作为指导农事的补充历法。寒露（Cold Dew）是其中的第十七个节气，从每年的10月8日开始，10月23日结束。

每当寒露到来的时候，中国大多数地区的气温会比上一个节气，白露（White Dew）时的温度低很多。雾气越发浓重和寒冷，降水量减少，农作物也趋于成熟（ripe )。

下面双语君（微信ID: Chinadaily_Mobile）就通过八个小知识来带大家了解一下寒露：

According to ancient records drinking the wine made with chrysanthemums poria cocos and pine oleoresin grants people long lasting youth.

山楂季
