The Beginning of Autumn is the beginning of autumn. The custom of eating watermelon in Nanjing to celebrate the autumn has existed since ancient times.
It is said that one year in the Ming Dynasty, many people in Nanjing city suffered from leprosy. Some people followed the story of the daughter of Prime Minister Cui of Luzhou Prefecture who ate watermelon and her leprosy left scars and healed itself, so they ate more watermelon.
