Various activities are often held in China's coastal areas during this solar term to send off fishermen and look forward to a good harvest. 2. Worship the God of Land The solar term of Chushu coincides with the harvest time of autumn crops, so there will be many celebrations for the harvest, mainly holding various ceremonies to worship ancestors and thank the God of Land. 3. Worshiping ancestors and welcoming autumn The solar term of Chushu usually falls in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, so the folk customs before and after Chushu are mostly related to ancestor worship and welcoming autumn. For example, there will be folk activities to celebrate the Zhongyuan Festival. The Zhongyuan Festival is commonly known as "the Mid-July Festival" or "Zhongyuan Festival". It was originally a festival to commemorate the autumn harvest and worship ancestors. Later, under the influence of Taoism and Buddhism, there were also activities of giving away lanterns for salvation. What can you eat during the Beginning of Heat?On the day of the Beginning of Heat, there is a custom of eating duck and drinking herbal tea.1. Eat duck during the End of Heat The ancients believed that ducks in mid-July of the lunar calendar were the fattest and most nutritious, so it was popular to eat ducks during the Beginning of Heat. In Beijing, old Beijingers will buy the End of Heat Lily Duck; while in Jiangsu, a bowl of duck dish is served to neighbors, as the saying goes, "Giving duck during the End of Heat keeps every household healthy." 2. Drink tea during the End of Heat After the Beginning of Autumn, the weather gradually gets cooler, but it is still hot and the heat is hard to dissipate. In addition, the air humidity begins to decrease and the climate gradually becomes drier. People with yin deficiency and damp-heat constitution will find it difficult to adapt and are prone to discomfort. Therefore, it is popular to drink tea on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, especially herbal tea. But there are many types of herbal teas, and different herbal teas have different effects, so you should choose according to your own needs. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
