The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Start of Autumn, the 13th solar term of the year, begins this year on Aug 7 and ends on Aug 22.


Start of Autumn reflects the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. The fruitful season is approaching.


In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. But solar term culture is still useful today to guide people`s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips that correspond with each term.


The following are 9 things you should know about Start of Autumn.


1 "Autumn Tiger"


Although Start of Autumn indicates the beginning of autumn, hot weather will not come to an end. The period of hot days after Start of Autumn, usually lasting for 30 days, is called "Autumn Tiger" or "Indian Summer." Because of decreasing precipitation, it is even more sweltering during this period than during Major Heat.


2 Fleshing out in autumn


On the first day of the Start of Autumn, usually people will weigh themselves and compare their weight to what it was at the Start of Summer. If one has lost weight during the summer, then at the beginning of autumn, he or she needs to flesh out by eating many different kinds of delicious food, especially meat.


3 Gathering crops


Start of Autumn is a big solar term for farmers. It is time to gather crops. There is a saying: "If it rains on the day of the Start of Autumn, a good harvest is expected."


4 Eating peaches


In Hangzhou, people eat peaches on the Start of Autumn day. The peach stones are kept until New Year`s Eve and thrown into the stove, burned into ash. People believed that in this way, plagues could be prevented for the whole year.
