What is the custom of sunbathing in autumn?

Sunbathing in autumn refers to hanging crops on shelves or hanging them, which is a typical phenomenon of peasant customs and has strong regional cultural characteristics. Villagers living in mountainous areas, because of the complex and diverse terrain and the scarcity of flat land, can only use the places in front of and behind their houses and their own windowsills and roof frames or hang crops, which has evolved into a traditional agricultural custom phenomenon over time.

Sunbathing in autumn, "autumn" refers to the bumper harvest of grains and fruitful results. In fact, the phenomenon of sunbathing in autumn is not exclusive to autumn, but it will occur all year round, but it is more abundant in the autumn harvest season. Song Zu Ying, a famous singer, once sang "Sun Autumn" for the custom of "Sun Autumn" in his hometown.

Today, the custom of sunbathing in autumn has gradually faded, but sunbathing in autumn has become a "grand ceremony" for farmers to celebrate the harvest in the ancient village of Qiling, Wuyuan, Jiangxi. Kirin holds an autumn sunbathing culture festival in Chongyang every year, attracting hundreds of thousands of people to Wuyuan to enjoy autumn photography. The special way and scene of villagers drying crops has gradually become the material pursued and created by painters and photographers.
