On the day of the Beginning of Autumn, there is a custom of "biting into autumn" in both the north and south. In the north, people often eat watermelons, symbolizing the biting away of summer heat to avoid illness in autumn. Imagine an afternoon on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, with the family gathered around eating watermelon, refreshing and dispelling the lingering heat, quite enjoyable. In the south, people enjoy eating peaches, leaving the peach pits after eating the flesh, which are then thrown into the fire on New Year's Eve to burn, symbolizing the elimination of disasters and praying for blessings. Peaches symbolize good fortune, and eating peaches is a wish for a beautiful life.
