'Touching Autumn' “摸秋”

There is the custom of "Touching Autumn" in the northern part of Yancheng, Jiangsu province. On the eve of Start of Autumn, people can touch and take for free all kinds of fruits as they like in private or public gardens, and the owners will not be angry, no matter how much they lose. Many gardeners even leave some mellow fruits in the field on purpose for the guests during the night.

江蘇鹽城北部地區(qū)有一個“摸秋”的習(xí)俗。在立秋前一天晚上，人們可以在私人或集體的瓜園中摸回各種瓜果，而無論損失多少主人都不會生氣。有些瓜園主人甚至還會故意在地里為夜里來摸秋的客人留下一些成熟的瓜果。
