Autumn FestivalAutumn Festival was a festive activity for ancient people to celebrate the harvest and worship gods. It was usually held more than 40 days after the beginning of autumn, around the White Dew and Autumnal Equinox. 2. Eat sweet potatoes In ancient times, people in my country had the custom of eating sweet potatoes during the White Dew Festival, because people believed that eating sweet potatoes during the White Dew Festival could prevent stomach acid after meals. Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Sweet potatoes replenish deficiency, strengthen the spleen and appetite, and strengthen kidney yin." 3. Eat longan In Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a custom of eating longan during the White Dew Festival. Local people believe that eating longan on the day of Bailu has a miraculous effect of nourishing the body, and the longan before Bailu is large, sweet and has a good taste, so eating longan during Bailu is the best choice. 4. White Dew Tea Bailu tea is tea picked during the Bailu season. There is a saying among the people that "spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, and you should drink tea during the Bailu season in autumn". The tea trees at this time have gone through the scorching heat of summer, and the period around Bailu is another good growth period for them, so it is most appropriate to drink Bailu tea during the Bailu season. 5. Offering sacrifices to King Yu In the area along Taihu Lake in Jiangsu Province, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to King Yu during the White Dew Festival. King Yu is the legendary flood control hero Dayu, and the fishermen on the shores of Taihu Lake call him the "Water Bodhisattva." Every year on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qingming Festival, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and the White Dew Festival, incense ceremonies to worship King Yu are held here. Among them, the Qingming Festival and the White Dew Festival in spring and autumn are the largest. 6. Ten kinds of white In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people will collect "ten kinds of white" (there is also a saying of "three kinds of white") on the day of Bailu to stew black-bone white-feathered chicken (or duck). It is said that eating it can nourish the body and remove wind (arthritis). The “Ten Whites” are 10 kinds of herbs with the word “white” in their name, such as white hibiscus, white bitter gourd, etc., which literally correspond to “white dew”. 7. Collect the dew In ancient times, people had the custom of "collecting white dew" during the White Dew Festival. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded: "When the autumn dew is abundant, collect it in a plate and fry it into candy, which can prolong one's life and prevent hunger." "Collect the autumn dew on the grass before it drizzles, which can cure all diseases, stop thirst, make one feel light and not hungry, and make one's muscles smooth and toned." "Dew on the flowers makes one look good." Therefore, collecting the dew has become the most special "ritual" of Bailu. 8. Drink Bailu rice wine The areas of Xingning, Sandu and Liaojiang in Zixing, Hunan have always had the custom of brewing wine. Every year when the White Dew Festival comes, every family makes wine, and when entertaining guests, they must drink "local wine". The wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains. It is warm and slightly sweet, and is called "Bai Lu Rice Wine". Jiangsu and Zhejiang also have the custom of brewing Bailu rice wine. In the old days, when the White Dew arrived every year, every family in the countryside in Jiangsu and Zhejiang would brew rice wine to entertain guests, and people would often bring the White Dew rice wine to the city. Until the 1930s and 1940s, there was still fresh Bailu rice wine available in hotels in Nanjing, but it gradually disappeared. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
