They sat on the ground in groups of three or five in the melon shed and under the shade of the trees, munching on red-fleshed watermelons, green-fleshed cantaloupes, white sweet potatoes, and golden corn cobs.

Later generations set the Autumn Festival on the fifth day after the beginning of autumn. At this point the harvest target has been achieved, and both the government and the people offer sacrifices to the gods to express their gratitude on this day. In the Song Dynasty, there was a custom of eating cakes, drinking wine, and women returning to their parents' homes during the Autumn Festival. The poem "Not Seen" by Han Wei of the Tang Dynasty reads: "I wish to be a swallow in your house, and I will not return even when the Autumn Festival comes." In some places, the sayings of "building a community", "worshiping the community gods" and "cooking community porridge" are still popular today. The Autumn Busy Season Fair is usually held in July or August of the lunar calendar. It is a business and trade conference to prepare for the Autumn Busy Season. Some are held in conjunction with temple fairs, while others are trade fairs held solely for the busy autumn season. Its goal is to exchange production tools, sell livestock, exchange food and daily necessities, etc. Its scale is similar to that of the summer busy fair, with a mule and horse market, a grain market, a farm tool production market, cloth, and a Beijing-Guangzhou grocery market. Nowadays, such gatherings are called "Economic and Trade Exchange Conferences."
