„Hán Lù“, 寒露, is the 17th solar term of the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. This period marks the transition from cool to cold weather in autumn. 

Climatically Hán Lù, „cold dew“, as the name suggests, is colder than the previous solarterm Bái Lù, „white dew“. The dew is about to freeze. Bái Lù was the beginning of autumn, Hán Lù is more deeply connected with autumn. Now we can vaguely hear the footsteps of winter. This suggests that people should not plant again, but collect the remaining harvest. You should remember that the plants must now retreat, „hide“. Then they should no longer be harvested. 

The solarterms refer to the seasonal context and the associated natural changes in which we live and which affect us. In late autumn, the busy autumn harvest comes to an end and people prepare for winter. 

A Chinese proverb, „春生夏长，秋收冬藏“, describes the appearance and development of things. So plants germinate in spring, growth begins. Everything grows in summer. In autumn the time of ripeness and harvest has come and in winter everything is hidden. This is an example of the natural laws that all living things follow if they want to live a healthy and profitable life in the long term.
