What do you eat in the autumn of solstice?

From autumn to autumn, yang gradually closes, yin gradually opens, and people's physiological activities change from summer to autumn harvest. Dry air in autumn is not very beneficial to our lungs, so we should eat more nourishing and moistening food in autumn, which is suitable for eating hawthorn, eel, pork liver, red dates and so on.

The difference between beginning of autumn and the autumn solstice.

Beginning of autumn means farewell to summer, and autumn has come. The solstice of autumn, that is, when the taste of autumn is strongest. Beginning of autumn, which is earlier than the autumn solstice, is the 13 solar term among the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar and the first solar term in autumn.

From autumn to the future, the weather will be much colder than that after beginning of autumn, and the cold winter will come soon from autumn to the future.

The significance of autumn solstice

Traditionally, the autumnal equinox is not only the end of autumn harvest and winter storage, but also the beginning of summer sowing and spring ploughing. As an agricultural proverb in northern China says, the autumnal equinox is the best time to plant wheat. Therefore, designating the annual autumnal equinox as China Farmers' Harvest Festival is not only a tribute and inheritance to the traditional twenty-four solar terms, but also reflects the contemporary China people's understanding of the concept of natural replacement, adaptation to natural laws and adaptation to sustainable ecological development.
