What are the holiday customs in early autumn?

1, paste autumn fat

All the folk customs in China are mostly related to eating and playing, because in ancient times, eating was always a big problem for ordinary people, and it was not easy to have enough to eat. Moreover, from a health point of view, autumn is the harvest season, and a full meal can make you better fit for the cold winter.

Step 2 weigh the water

The reason why ancient people had twenty-four solar terms was also because in the era of underdeveloped technology, the seasons and climate were judged by solar terms. People think that before beginning of autumn and after beginning of autumn, the same barrel was full. If there is more water in front of beginning of autumn, it means there is more water, so there will be less rain in autumn. If there is a lot of water behind beginning of autumn, there will be more rain in autumn, which may lead to autumn waterlogging.

3, gnawing autumn

The season of early autumn is usually in dog days. The temperature is still very high during this period. In hot summer, people eat melons, which means biting autumn, also known as biting autumn, which is the custom of Han people when they are old. It is said that watermelon will not produce autumn prickly heat at this time.

Step 4 eat "slag"

China has 9.6 million square kilometers of land, and the local customs are different. It is popular in Shandong, Sichuan and other regions that beginning of autumn eats "dregs"-a kind of small tofu made of chopped beans and vegetables. There is a saying that "adults and children eat beginning of autumn dregs without spitting or pulling".

5. Busy meetings in autumn

May of the lunar calendar is the season of summer harvest, while July and August of the lunar calendar is the season of autumn harvest. After beginning of autumn, people began to be busy in autumn, which is also one of the customs in beginning of autumn. Usually held in July and August of the lunar calendar, it is a business meeting to prepare for the busy autumn. Its purpose is to exchange production tools, sell livestock and exchange food and daily necessities.

6. Autumn House

In ancient times, because the country was founded on agriculture, and agriculture was the foundation and foundation of everything, all dignitaries and ordinary people attached great importance to agriculture. Autumn Festival is also one of the customs in beginning of autumn. It was originally a day to worship the land god in autumn, which began in the Han Dynasty. Later generations set it on the fifth day after beginning of autumn. At this time, when the harvest was finished, the officials and the people sacrificed on this day to thank God.
