Dear, I'm glad to answer your questions.

The solar terms in the autumn equinox are cool and suitable for eating the following kinds:

1. Eating fresh dates in the autumn equinox

Autumn is the best date-eating season in a year. Fresh jujube is rich in iron that makes skin ruddy, and it also contains a lot of vitamin C. Vitamin C is the best weapon against free radicals and aging, which can reduce melanin and inhibit melanin production, fade spots and pigmentation, and improve skin color.

Jujube has the functions of calming the heart and calming the nerves, improving intelligence and strengthening the brain, stimulating appetite, removing fishy smell and odor, improving immunity, preventing and treating hypertension, osteoporosis and anemia, and is a good tonic for the elderly in autumn.

2. Eating grapes in the autumn equinox

Grape is a kind of fruit that people like very much because of its beautiful color, fragrant smell, sweet and sour taste, appetizing and digestion. At the same time, grapes are full of nutrients from skin, pulp to seeds, including not only a lot of glucose and fructose, but also amino acids, vitamin C, calcium, iron and other nutrients, including many polyphenols, such as procyanidins.

However, it should be noted that drinking water immediately after eating grapes is not advisable, otherwise it will easily lead to diarrhea. In addition, people with diabetes should avoid eating grapes.

3. Eat at the autumnal equinox: Water chestnut

Water chestnut, also known as horseshoe, has the reputation of "underground Sydney". Eleocharis tuberosa is sweet and cold in taste, and has the effects of clearing away lung-heat, relieving sore throat, eliminating dampness and eliminating phlegm, and has a certain effect on preventing autumn dryness, cough, throat discomfort and thirst. Besides being eaten raw, it can also be boiled, fried, roasted and simmered. However, water chestnut is not easy to digest, and it is not easy for people with deficiency of spleen and stomach and poor digestive function, children and the elderly to eat more

4. Eggs are < P > "when the autumn equinox arrives, eggs are pretty". Like the vernal equinox, on the occasion of the annual autumnal equinox, many places in China hold interesting games or competitions of "vertical eggs" on this day. Don't forget to eat eggs after playing "vertical eggs". Eggs are very nutritious. In the field of nutrition, eggs have always been known as "all-nutritious food". Eggs are one of the best sources of high-quality protein, which also contains many vitamins and minerals, a small amount of omega-3 fatty acids, a large amount of lecithin, lutein and other health-care ingredients.

5. Tangyuan

On the autumn equinox, farmers have a holiday according to the custom. Every family has to eat Tangyuan, and they have to cook more than a dozen or twenty or thirty dumplings without wrapping their hearts, and put them on the outdoor ridge by a bamboo fork, which is called sticking the sparrow's mouth, so as not to damage the crops. Of course, it is only the beautiful imagination and desire of farmers to stick the sparrow's mouth with glutinous rice balls, but it also illustrates a truth, that is, glutinous rice balls are relatively sticky, difficult to digest and should not be eaten more.

6. Autumn vegetables

In Lingnan area, Xie's surname in Cangcheng Town, Kaiping, which used to be four cities (now with Heshan as five cities), had an unbridled custom called "eating autumn vegetables in the autumn equinox". "Autumn vegetable" is a kind of wild amaranth, and the villagers call it "autumn Artemisia". On the day of the autumnal equinox, the whole village went to pick autumn vegetables. When searching in the field, it is often green and thin, about as long as a palm.

The custom of the autumnal equinox

1. Vertical eggs

On that day of the autumnal equinox every year, tens of millions of people all over the world are doing vertical eggs experiments. At present, it is still difficult to research how this toy, which is called "China custom", became a "world game". However, the game is simple and interesting: choose a smooth and symmetrical fresh egg that has just been born for four or five days and gently stand it up on the table. Although there are many losers, there are also many winners. The autumnal equinox has become the best time for vertical egg games, so there is a saying that "when the autumnal equinox arrives, eggs are pretty". The erected eggs are very beautiful.

2. Worship the gods

Folk festivals around the autumnal equinox include the birthday of Kaizhang Shengwang on February 15th: Kaizhang Shengwang, also known as "Chen Shengwang", was Chen Yuanguang, a warrior in the Tang Dynasty, who made great contributions to Zhangzhou and became the patron saint of Zhangzhou after his death. On February 19th, the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, every birthday, many believers go to the Guanyin temples to worship. On February 25th, King Sanshan's Sacrifice Day: King Sanshan refers to the mountain gods of Dushan, Mingshan and Jinshan in Jieyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province. In the early years, Chaozhou Hakka immigrated to Autumn as the patron saint, so the believers were mainly Hakka.

3. Send the autumn cows

The autumnal equinox will arrive soon, and at that time, people will send pictures of autumn cows from house to house. The picture is printed on red paper or yellow paper with the lunar solar terms throughout the year, and also printed with the farmer's ploughing pattern, which is called "Autumn Cattle Map". The picture-givers are folk singers who mainly say something about autumn ploughing and good luck that doesn't go against the farming season. Every time they go to a house, they are even more eager to say whatever they see, until the owner is happy and gives money. Although the words come out casually, every sentence is rhyming and beautiful. Commonly known as "autumn", Qiu Ren is called "Qiu Guan".
