又一个节气“白露” 到来，凉爽的秋风送走了夏日最后一丝燥热。北半球日照时间变短，昼夜温差变大。在黎明和黄昏时分，人们已经能感受到一丝寒意。冷空气凝结成秋露，这就是白露。
Here comes another solar term, white dew day, when the cool, uncomfortable autumn wind sent away the last traces of summer heat. Daylight hours become shorter in the northern hemisphere, the temperature difference between day and night becomes larger. One can already feel a hint of chilliness at dawn and dusk. The cold air condenses into autumn dew, which is called white dew.
白露过后，对气候最敏感的候鸟开始集体迁徙。“白露秋风夜,雁南飞一行”。在大雁从北飞向南的同时，其他鸟类也开始为即将到来的冬天储存食物。
After White Dew, migratory birds, most sensitive to climate, start to fly away en masse. “Against the night wind of white dew, a line of wild geese are flying south.” While the wild geese are flying from north to south, other birds began to store food for the incoming winter.
墨玉色的芦苇在风中摇曳，浮力十足，生命力顽强。诗经里也有“蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜，所谓伊人，在水一方。”
The reeds, in the color of the dark jade, sway in the wind, buoyant and resilient. “while the gray and green reeds grow, white dew turn into frosts aglow, and the one I seek is somewhere across the flow” lamented a very ancient poet.
对于中国各地的农民来说，这是一个非常繁忙的时节，长江下游的地区的稻谷开始成熟。在金黄的稻田里，收割机来回穿梭，收割着金黄的稻穗和饱满的稻粒。
This is a very busy time for farmers everywhere in China. Rice in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River begins to ripen. In the golden patty fields, Harvesters are moving back and forth, reaping the golden rice ears with plump grains.
在湖南、江苏、浙江等地，自古以来就有自酿白露米酒的传统。据说这一习俗起源于秦朝，盛行于唐宋时期。白露米酒由糯米发酵而成，酒性温而不燥，清爽甘甜，提神舒畅，有健脾养胃的功效。在其他地方，白露这天还有吃红薯和龙眼的习俗。红薯含有丰富的蛋白质和氨基酸。据《中国古代医学百科全书-本草纲目》记载，红薯能补虚、健脾、润胃、益肾阴。而龙眼具有补气健脾、宁心安神、养颜等多种功效。
In areas such as Hunan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang Province, there is a tradition of brewing home made white dew rice wine ever since ancient times. It is said that the custom originated in Qin and flourished in the Tong and Song dynasty. This low alcohol white dew rice wine is fermented from glutinous rice. It's warm, but not too hot, fresh and sweet, energizing and soothing, and it can invigorate the spleen and nourish the stomach. In other places, there is also a custom of eating sweet potatoes and longan on this white dew day. Sweet potato is rich in protein and amino acids.According to the Chinese Ancient Medical Encyclopedia, Compendium of Materia Medica, sweet potatoes can tonify deficiency, strengthen the spleen, wet appetite and benefit the yin element of the kidney. Longan has a variety of beneficial effects, such as replenishing Qi and invigorating spleen, calming the mind and even improving the skin.
天高气爽，传统的中秋佳节即将来临。凉风送白露，中秋佳节好时光。
The traditional mid autumn festival is approaching as the days have turned crisp and clear. The cool wind brings on white dew, and such a good time as the mid autumn days is to be well spent.

“蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。所谓伊人，在水一方。”正是因为《诗经》中的这首《蒹葭》，一身诗意，充满灵性的白露“声名鹊起”，从此成为历代文人雅士心中的“白月光”。我们的外教Kristina和中加班的Jessica诵读了中英文版的《蒹葭》，让我们随着优美的诗句一起来体验白露的节气之美。
即使时间到了白露，也没有白走的路，因为每一步都算数。在这个秋风渐起的诗意时节，让我们保持积极向上的心态，一起向前吧！
