Welcome to autumn

The beginning of the autumn with a sense of ritual

Autumn is the harvest season. In ancient times, the autumn meant the arrival of autumn. Therefore, there are many customs about the beginning of the autumn whether the court or the folk. The first is the sacrifice. According to the "Book of Rites · Yue Ling": "On the day of the autumn, the emperor was handsome and handsome, Jiuqing, princes, and doctors to welcomes autumn on the western suburbs." On this day of Liqiu, Tianzi will personally lead him. Cultural and military officials went to the western suburbs to set up an altar to welcome the autumn, hold a ceremony to sacrifice autumn gods, and order the generals to start practicing soldiers. In addition, according to the "Hou Han Book": "On the day of the autumn, the autumn is welcomed in the western suburbs, the sacrifice of the white emperor is harvested.

"In fact, not only in the court, but also the custom of sacrificing the autumn. People worship the land god on this day in order to seek a harvest of food." Liu Xiaochang said.

In the Song Dynasty, this custom that greeting autumn became more elegant. According to the "Mengliang Lu" by Wu Zimu of the Song Dynasty: "Lining on the autumn, the officials of the Tai Shi Bureau were planted in the prunar tree in the banquet, and when the autumn was made, the Taishi official said: 'Autumn Lai", it, its Shi Wuye flies a piece or two to the autumn. "It means that on the day of the beginning of the autumn, the palace will send someone to move the potted sycamore into the temple. When the hour arrives, the Taishi official will play high loudly: "Autumn is here!" The sound of the sycamore trees dropped one or two leaves in response to the meaning of autumn.
