Eating red beans

吃小赤豆

Starting from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and the Song Dynasty (960-1279), people in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, have eaten red beans on Start of Autumn day. They take seven to 14 little beans, swallowing them with well water. When taking the beans, one must face west, it is said, so as not to get dysentery during the autumn.

从唐朝宋朝起，浙江义乌的老百姓就有在此日吃小赤豆的风俗。人们会取七至十四粒小赤豆，以井水吞服，并且服用时要面朝西，这样据说可以一秋不犯痢疾。

Eating gourds

吃瓜

During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), people would put gourds outside for a day before the Start of Autumn, and eat them on Start of Autumn day to drive off the summer heat. Today people in Tianjing still keep this custom, believing that eating melons such as towel gourd, white gourd and bitter gourd can prevent diarrhea in autumn and the coming winter and spring.

清代(1644-1911)的时候，人们会在立秋的前一天将各种瓜放在庭院中晾一天，于立秋日吃下，这样可消除暑气。如今，在天津，人们仍然保持着这一习俗，他们认为立秋吃丝瓜、冬瓜和苦瓜，可有效地在接下来的秋、冬春季节里预防腹泻。

Many gardeners even leave some mellow fruits in the field on purpose for the guests during the night.
