处暑无三日,新凉直万金。今天我们迎来处暑节气。

ThreedaysafterEndofHeat,thecoolnessispriceless.TodaywewelcometheEndofHeat.

“处,止也,暑气至此而止矣”。炎热的夏天逐渐消退,“新凉直万金”的初秋闪亮登场。

"Chumeansstop,theheatstopshere."Thehotsummergraduallysubsides,andthepricelesscoolnessofearlyautumnarrives.

正如白居易所说:“离离暑云散,袅袅凉风起。”

AsBaiJuyisaid,"Thecloudsofsummerscatter,andthegentlecoolbreezerises."

处暑期间,最大的物候变化在风和云。

DuringEndofHeat,thebiggestchangesareinthewindandclouds.

此时的风,是轻轻柔柔的凉风;此时的云,渐变成丝丝缕缕的卷云或淡积云,“天高云淡”;

Thewindnowisagentle,coolbreeze;thecloudsgraduallyturnintowispycirrusorlightcumulusclouds,with"highskiesandlightclouds";

农人说此时天气“一场秋雨一场凉”,对气候的变化有更直白的表述。

Farmersdescribetheweatherchangesplainly"eachautumnrainbringscoolerweather."

未觉夏已尽,时至已新秋。

古人将处暑分为三候:

AncientpeopledividedEndofHeatintothreeperiods:

一候鹰乃祭鸟,第一个五天里,鹰击长空,下掠捕食众鸟;

First,eaglesaresacrificing.Inthefirstfivedays,eaglessoarhighandswoopdowntohuntotherbirds;

二候天地始肃,第二个五日,天地间万物开始凋零;

Second,heavenandearthbegintowilt.Inthenextfivedays,everythingstartstowither;

三候禾乃登,第三个五日中,稻子、高粱等开始成熟。

Third,cropsripen.Inthelastfivedays,riceandsorghumbegintomature.

“登”字的甲骨文十分形象,描绘出一幕祭祀的场景:一人双手捧着豆,双脚在前,突出向上攀登之意。

Theoraclebonescriptfor"登"(rise)isveryvivid,depictingasceneofoffering:apersonholdingbeansinbothhands,withfeetpositionedforward,symbolizinganupwardclimb.

对农人而言,风调雨顺、五谷丰登是时光和大地给予的最好礼物。

“处暑高粱遍地红”,处暑后,作物将成熟、收获;

"EndofHeatseessorghumturningredalloverthefields,"afterEndofHeat,cropswillmatureandbeharvested;

处暑尾声时,也恰是渔业收获的好时候,威海的禁渔即将结束,千帆竞发撒下金秋“第一网”。
