White Dew — 白露 (Báilù)

White Dew (白露, Báilù) is the 15th of the 24 solar terms, at the Sun's ecliptic longitude of 165°. It is a sectional term (節): in the BaZi calendar it opens a month and changes the month pillar of a chart.

Customs

“White dew”: cold nights, grass wet with dew in the mornings. Customs: gathering dew “for tea”, drinking “white dew tea” and rice wine, eating longan in Fujian; from now on, says the proverb, “keep the body covered”.
