It is still difficult to verify how this game, which is called a "Chinese custom", became a "world game". However, the gameplay is simple, easy and fun: choose a smooth and symmetrical fresh egg that has been laid just four or five days ago, and gently stand it upright on the table. Although there are many failures, there are also many successes. The Autumnal Equinox becomes the best time to play the egg-standing game, hence the saying "When the Autumnal Equinox comes, the eggs are pretty." The upright egg looks so beautiful.Eating Autumn Vegetables <br /> In the Lingnan region, the Xie family in Cangcheng Town, Kaiping, one of the four counties (now five counties with Heshan), has a custom that is not a festival, 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. About the Autumnal Equinox Customs Worshiping Gods <br /> Folk festivals around the Autumnal Equinox include the birthday of King Kaizhang on February 15th: King Kaizhang, also known as "King Chen", was a military scholar in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Yuanguang, who made great contributions to Zhangzhou and became the patron saint of Zhangzhou after his death. February 19th is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva. On every birthday, many believers eat vegetarian food and go to various Guanyin temples to worship. February 25th is the Sanshan King Memorial Day: The Sanshan King refers to the mountain gods of Dushan, Mingshan and Jinshan in Jieyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province. They were chosen as patron saints by Chaozhou Hakka immigrants in the early years, so their believers are mainly Hakka people. Sending the Autumn Ox <br /> The Autumnal Equinox is coming, and people will send pictures of the Autumn Ox from house to house. 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.
