What are the customs of the End of Heat?Traveling to Welcome Autumn The folk customs before and after the solar term of Chushu are mostly related to ancestor worship and welcoming autumn. Around the time of the Beginning of Autumn, there are folk activities to celebrate the Zhongyuan Festival, commonly known as "the Mid-Autumn Festival" or "Zhongyuan Festival". In the old days, people would have a ceremony to open the Ghost Gate from the beginning of July, and would hold activities to offer alms until the end of the month when the Ghost Gate was closed. It is said that the Pudu activity starts with opening the Ghost Gate, then setting up lantern poles and releasing river lanterns to attract lonely souls; the main part is building the Pudu altar, setting up the lonely shed, interspersed with activities such as snatching the lonely soul, and finally ending with closing the Ghost Gate. Today, it has become an important period for ancestor worship. In addition, after the Beginning of Autumn, the autumn becomes more intense, which is a good time for people to travel in the countryside to welcome the autumn and enjoy the scenery. After the Beginning of Autumn, the heat ends and even the clouds in the sky appear sparse and free, unlike the thick clouds during the Great Heat of summer. There has always been a saying among the people that "watch the clever clouds in July and August", which means "go out to welcome the autumn". [4]River lanterns are also called "lotus lanterns". Generally, a lamp or candle is placed on a base. They are placed in rivers, lakes, and seas on the night of the Ghost Festival and allowed to drift. The purpose of releasing river lanterns is to pray for the salvation of drowned ghosts and other wandering spirits in the water. A passage from Xiao Hong’s “The Story of Hulan River” is the best footnote to this custom: “The 15th day of the seventh month is the Ghost Festival. The dead souls and resentful ghosts cannot be reborn, and are lingering in hell, suffering greatly. They want to be reborn, but cannot find the way. If a dead ghost holds a river lantern on this day, he will be reborn.” [4] For coastal fishermen, the fishing season after the Beginning of Autumn is the time for harvesting fish. Every year during the Beginning of Autumn, an annual grand fishing festival is held along the coast of Zhejiang Province. On the day when the fishing moratorium ends in the East China Sea, a grand fishing opening ceremony is held to see off the fishermen as they set sail. The 9th China Fishing Festival 2006 was held on September 6 in Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province. Because; the water temperature in the sea area is still relatively high at this time, the fish will still stay around the sea area, and the fish, shrimp and shellfish will mature. Therefore, from this time on, people can often enjoy a wide variety of seafood. [4] In Japan, during the month from the Great Heat to the End of Heat, people in various parts of Japan organize water splashing to cool down. |
