What are the traditional customs in early autumn?

The traditional customs in beginning of autumn are: paste autumn fat, eat autumn and eat jiaozi.

1, paste autumn fat

Sticking autumn fat is a folk custom in early autumn. On this day in early autumn, people will weigh people with hanging scales and compare them with those in long summer. Because in summer, people have no appetite and the food is light and simple. After two or three months, they will lose weight. So when they arrive in early autumn, the weather becomes cool, and their appetite is wide open. They want to eat something good and supplement some nutrition to make up for the loss in summer. It's called autumn fertilizer.

2, gnawing autumn

On this day in beginning of autumn, people will have the custom of eating watermelon, which is called eating autumn. An old man said that after this day, you can't eat watermelon any more. Therefore, people will buy a watermelon to go home on this day, and the whole family will chew around it. This is eating autumn.

Step 3 Eat jiaozi

Beginning of autumn's eating jiaozi is also called catching autumn fat. If I catch a jiaozi in your bowl, I will be strong in autumn and make up for the oil and water lost in summer.

Meteorological change

Beginning of autumn doesn't mean the end of hot weather, and there is a summer solar term after beginning of autumn. Beginning of autumn is still hot, but it hasn't come out yet. The second solar term comes out in autumn, and the weather is still very hot in early autumn. As the saying goes, the heat is at three volts. According to the calculation method of dog days, beginning of autumn is often still in the period of dog days from summer to summer, and dog days involve four solar terms: summer, beginning of autumn and long summer.

In the dog days of July and August, the subtropical high was strong, which controlled most parts of eastern China. Under the control of subtropical high, the weather is sunny and hot, so it is extremely hot in dog days, so it is also the hottest period of the year. Judging from the climatic characteristics, the autumn sun is like fire, and beginning of autumn is in midsummer, and many areas are still in the heat. Beginning of autumn is the third hot solar term among the 24 solar terms, second only to Daxia and Xiaoxia.
