This custom has been popular since the Tang Dynasty. During the summer vacation, every household has the habit of frying herbal tea. First go to the pharmacy to make a prescription, and then cook tea at home, which means eating something "bitter" in autumn. In the sixties and seventies of last century, there were tea stalls selling sour plum soup in the streets and alleys of the city, so there was a proverb that "sour plum soup in summer, all the anger disappeared". Making sour plum soup is very simple. Soak dried plums in boiling water at night and add rock sugar. After cooking and cooling, put it into a wooden ice bucket with a cover to reduce its temperature.

The summer solar term coincides with the harvest season of crops, and farmers hold various ceremonies to thank the land god. Some killed animals to worship in the land temple, some planted flags in the middle of the field to express their gratitude, and some didn't wash their feet when they came home from work in the field on this day, for fear of washing away the harvest. Legend has it that autumn can avoid hail and get a bumper harvest. At the same time, some places have to go to Houtu Temple to offer sacrifices.
