The day before the Autumnal Equinox in 2019 is not suitable for getting married, as this day is a day of separation, so don’t use it for important matters!
The Four Li Days: The day before the Spring Equinox, Autumnal Equinox, Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice in the twenty-four solar terms is called "Li Day" in numerology. There are four such days in the whole year, so they are called "Four Separation Days".
The "Yumen Jing" says: "Li is the day before the separation of yin and yang." Equinox refers to the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, and zhi refers to the summer solstice and winter solstice. The previous day means the day before. The four Lis are: the day before the vernal equinox is called Wood Li; the day before the summer solstice is called Fire Li; the day before the autumnal equinox is called Metal Li; and the day before the winter solstice is called Water Li. On the "Yellow Calendar", it is written that "Do not use the day with four departures for important matters" and it is a taboo day for choosing a date.

What should we eat during the Autumnal Equinox?

1. Eat autumn vegetables
There is a saying that goes: "Autumn soup cleanses the internal organs and cleanses the liver and intestines. May the whole family, young and old, be safe and healthy." Since autumn, people have been praying for peace at home and good health. In the Lingnan region, the Xie family in Cangcheng Town, Kaiping, one of the former Four Counties (now Five Counties with Heshan), has an unofficial custom called "eating autumn vegetables on the Autumnal Equinox". "Qiucai" is a kind of wild amaranth, which the locals call "Qiubihao". On the day of the Autumnal Equinox, the whole village goes to pick autumn vegetables. When searching in the fields, most of the plants you see are light green, thin, about the length of a palm. The harvested autumn vegetables are usually boiled with fish fillets at home, which is called "autumn soup".
Wild amaranth contains a variety of nutrients. Rich in carotene and vitamin C, it helps to enhance the body's immune function and improve the body's anti-cancer effect. Fried wild amaranth has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, diuretic, analgesic and improving eyesight. Eating it can enhance the ability to resist and prevent diseases, keep healthy and less prone to illness, and moisturize the skin and beautify the skin. It is suitable for treating dysentery, red eyes, night blindness, mastitis, hemorrhoids and other diseases.
In fact, the so-called "autumn soup" in Lingnan customs is consistent with the autumn tonic advocated by modern Chinese medicine. It's just that Lingnan customs are more typical and have a bit of a native flavor, and have not risen to the level of Chinese medicine theory.
2. Eat glutinous rice balls
On the day of the Autumnal Equinox, farmers have a holiday according to custom. Every family eats rice dumplings, and they also cook a dozen or twenty or thirty rice dumplings without fillings, stick them with thin bamboo forks and place them on the edge of the field outside. This is called "catching the sparrows' beaks" to prevent sparrows from destroying the crops.
Of course, hoping to use glutinous rice balls to stick the sparrow's mouth shut is just a beautiful imagination and wish of farmers, but it also illustrates a truth, that is, glutinous rice balls are relatively sticky, difficult to digest, and should not be eaten too much. Tangyuan is mostly made of glutinous rice as the main ingredient and some other ingredients. Glutinous rice is warm in nature and sweet in taste. The added ingredients are often high in sugar and calories. Eating a small amount in the cold spring season can help replenish the body's heat energy, nourish the body, regulate blood, and raise yang and strengthen the spleen. However, glutinous rice is sticky and difficult to digest, and eating too much can easily lead to indigestion. Pairing it with spicy foods such as onions and garlic can balance the slowing effect of the glutinous rice balls.

Some people go through many ups and downs, and suffer hardships all their lives; some people have smooth sailing, encounter many good opportunities, and become successful and famous.
