A great time for hiking

遠足

During Cold Dew, North China takes on a look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves and early frost. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, people often climb hills with cornels, a kind of plant. This custom aims to dispel evils, and originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-220).

隨著寒露的到來，中國的北方呈現(xiàn)出深秋景象，白云紅葉，偶見早霜。在重陽節(jié)這天，人們往往會帶著茱萸去爬山。這一習俗起源于東漢時期，旨在辟邪消災。
