The Autumnal Equinox is the busy season of the "Three Autumns". There are many traditional activities and agricultural activities during this period.

Autumn has truly arrived in the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Let’s follow Mr. Shui Mo to learn more about the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2018.Autumnal Equinox Customs and Activities1. Flying kites The Autumnal Equinox is a great time for children to fly kites, and sometimes even adults get involved. There are kites for sale in the market, most of which are small and suitable for children to play with, but most are made by themselves and are larger. When flying kites, they compete with each other to see who can fly the highest. 2. Eat autumn vegetables. "Autumn vegetables" is a kind of wild amaranth, which the locals call "Autumn Artemisia". The harvested autumn vegetables are usually boiled with fish fillets at home, which is called "autumn soup".

Since autumn, people have been praying for peace at home and good health. 3. Sending Autumn Oxen Those who send Autumn Oxen are folk singers who are good at speaking. They mainly say words about autumn ploughing and auspiciousness that do not violate the farming season. Every time they go to a house, they are inspired by the scene and say whatever they see, until the owner is happy and gives them money. Although the words come out casually, every sentence is rhythmic and pleasant to the ear. It is commonly known as "Shuo Qiu", and people who speak autumn are called "Qiu Guan".What agricultural activities are there during the Autumnal Equinox?1.
