Whether in terms of pronunciation in Chinese or as an artistic concept, the White Dew is a beautiful and poetic solar term.
The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall in Luanping County, Hebei Province, north China, is the best-preserved section of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) Great Wall. Standing on the Great Wall and looking far away, we can have a panoramic view of the White Dew in all its splendor.
The White Dew evokes longing for home. Tang Dynasty (618-907) poet Du Fu wrote: "Lu cong jin ye bai; yue shi gu xiang ming," or "dew turns into frost since tonight, and the moon in the hometown is brighter." Let's join Xinhua correspondent Liu Jie to explore the season.
