Today is the Start of Autumn. The heat fades away and coolness arrives, and the change of seasons always happens so quietly.
The Start of Autumn is like a gentle messenger, gently telling us that the hot summer is gradually going away and the cool autumn wind is about to blow on our faces. On this day, there seems to be a kind of peaceful and expectant atmosphere between heaven and earth.
After the Start of Autumn, nature begins to slowly change its colors. The leaves are no longer purely green but are tinged with a light shade of golden yellow. In the orchards, the fruits are becoming plumper day by day, as if waiting to be picked by people. The crops in the fields are also gradually ripening, and the heavy ears of wheat and rice are all telling the hope of a bumper harvest.
For us, the Start of Autumn is also a good time to adjust our life rhythm. The enthusiasm and unrestraint of summer can be slightly restrained. We can calm down, savor a cup of warm tea, read a long-awaited book, or take a stroll with family and friends on the path where the autumn atmosphere is getting stronger.
In terms of diet, the Start of Autumn has rich traditions. People will eat watermelons to "bite the autumn", symbolizing holding onto the coolness of autumn and saying goodbye to the heat of summer. There are also various nourishing soups to store energy for the upcoming autumn and winter.
The Start of Autumn is a gentle turn of time, bringing new expectations and beauty. Let's embrace the longing for the future and welcome this poetic season.
