There is a folk saying "nine females and ten males". The "nine" and "ten" in this proverb refer to the lunar calendar, which means that female hairy crabs are suitable for eating in September and male hairy crabs are suitable for eating in October.
In fact, the middle and late days of the Gregorian calendar are the opening time of Yangcheng Lake every year, and it is the best time for female hairy crabs to eat within more than one month after the opening of the lake; From the middle and late October to November of the Gregorian calendar every year, it is the best time to eat male hairy crabs, because at this time, the male hairy crabs have already stored up the energy for the winter, and the crab paste in their bodies is in the most abundant and full state, which is very fat and delicious.
