Food customs during the Autumnal Equinox

Autumn is the season of harvest. How can we forget to eat at such a wonderful time? In some places in Lingnan of my country, there is a custom of "eating autumn vegetables" during the autumnal equinox. However, eating autumn vegetables is not for the sake of delicious food, but represents a good wish.

The so-called autumn vegetables are actually a kind of wild amaranth grown in the Lingnan region. Locals call it "Autumn Artemisia". It is slender and tender green, about the length of a palm. On the day of the Autumnal Equinox, locals would go up the mountain to pick autumn vegetables, and then go home and boil them with fish fillets into a soup, which is called "Autumn Soup". There is a folk proverb in Lingnan area: "Autumn soup cleanses the internal organs and cleanses the liver and intestines. The whole family, young and old, will be safe and healthy."

"Wild Amaranth" - From a scientific point of view, this wild Amaranth is rich in carotene and vitamin C, and has the effect of enhancing human immunity. Eating "autumn soup" also implicitly conforms to the concept of autumn nourishment in traditional Chinese medicine, which makes sense.
