The autumnal equinox was once a traditional "festival of offering sacrifices to the moon". Such as the ancient "Spring Festival, autumn festival month" said. Now the Mid Autumn Festival is from the traditional "festival of offering sacrifices to the moon".
Eating autumn vegetables
"Autumn vegetable" is a kind of wild amaranth, which is called "autumn green Artemisia". Every autumnal equinox, the whole village goes to pick autumn vegetables. The autumn vegetables collected are usually boiled with fish fillets at home, which is called "autumn soup".
Sticky finch mouth
On the autumnal equinox, farmers have a holiday according to the custom, and every family has to eat tangyuan. Moreover, they have to put more than ten or twenty or thirty cooked dumplings with fine bamboo forks on the edge of the field, which is called sticky sparrow mouth, so as not to damage the crops.
