What are the customs of the Autumnal Equinox?1. Eat autumn vegetables <br /> The autumnal equinox is the official start of autumn. 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". 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.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. 2. Catch the sparrow's mouth <br /> On the day of the Autumnal Equinox, farmers have a holiday according to custom. Every family eats glutinous rice balls, and they also cook more than ten or twenty to thirty glutinous rice balls without fillings, stick them with thin bamboo forks and place them on the edge of the field outside. This is called catching the sparrow's mouth to prevent sparrows from destroying the crops. 3. Sending autumn oxen <br /> The autumnal equinox is coming, and people will send autumn oxen pictures to every household. The picture is made of red or yellow paper with the lunar calendar solar terms of the whole year printed on them, as well as a picture of farmers plowing the fields. It is called the "Autumn Ox Picture". The people who sent the pictures were all folk singers who were good at speaking. They mainly talked about autumn ploughing and auspiciousness that did not violate the farming season. Every time they went to a house, they would be inspired by the scene and say whatever they saw, until the owner was happy and gave them money. Although the words come out casually, every sentence is rhythmic and pleasant to the ear. It is commonly known as "Shuo Qiu", and people who speak autumn are called "Qiu Guan".
