I remember when I was very young, there was a custom in the village, to the night of "LiQiu", there will be "touch autumn" activities, Liqiu is coming, can't help but remind me of this folk custom, this year's Liqiu in the first ten days of July in the lunar calendar, its arrival, brought 2 good news, first, the hot summer is about to pass, the next will usher in a cool autumn, second, "taste the autumn fresh" Time has arrived, at this time all kinds of vegetables and fruits ushered in the picking season, people can finally be justified in the name of "eating and drinking". "Touching autumn" is actually around the ripening of vegetables and fruits.
Folk proverb: "Touching autumn is not stealing, losing autumn is not pursued", autumn is coming, what is "touching autumn"? When I first heard this sentence, it reminded me of the protagonist Kong Yiji in "Kong Yiji" who argued when he was caught stealing books, "Stealing books cannot be considered stealing!" Can stealing books, the things of the people who read books, be considered stealing? According to our current logic, anyone who asks for something that does not belong to him in any way is called stealing, so is this sentence "touching the autumn is not stealing, and losing the autumn is not pursued" still valid?
Touching autumn, refers to people quietly or together to go to other people's melon garden or vegetable field to touch back melons, fruits, vegetables, this behavior is commonly known as "touching autumn", these lost vegetables and fruits of the family, called "lost autumn", in short, autumn night, go to other people's vegetable field to touch back vegetables and melons can not be regarded as stealing people's homes, lost vegetables and fruits of the family, no matter how long it is lost, do not pursue.
From this proverb, we can accurately touch the vegetables and melons and fruits planted in other people's vegetable fields, because before and after the autumn, whether it is eggplant, beans and peppers that are now ripe, why do people who say "lost autumn" not pursue it? There are 3 reasons.
1, touching autumn, mainly based on children, more is a kind of fun to participate, rather than really running to other people's homes, stealing the vegetables and fruits in the field to go home is not their ultimate goal.
2, liqiu touch autumn, people value its meaning, for example, when the child of the family, touch back a green onion home, then it means that the child grows up to be more intelligent, if it is touched to the melon fruit, this means that in the future, do not worry about eating and wearing, everything will be relatively smooth.
3, at that time, every household planted vegetables, melons and fruits, basically will not leave open space, to the autumn before and after, the crops are ripe, at this time the family often can not eat win, to some neighbors, it does not matter, even now, we still have this tradition in the countryside, who has more vegetables, and more fruits, are given to each other.
This activity is only held on the day of the autumn, after the autumn, parents will seriously restrain the child, not allowed to go to other people's melons, the vegetable field is not allowed to take other people's things, so "touch the autumn is not stealing, throwing autumn is not pursued", it is based on the festival, the purpose is to increase the fun, and hope that through this way to pray, the next days will be more and more smooth, the child's growth can be worry-free.
What are the vegetables and fruits that are generally touched in autumn? Touching the vegetables and fruits of autumn is actually the seasonal dishes before and after the autumn, such as pumpkin, lentils, peppers, eggplant, green onions, beans, etc., each of which has a different meaning, green onions mean smart, pumpkin means auspicious, and beans represent longevity.
