'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.
江苏盐城北部地区有一个“摸秋”的习俗。在立秋前一天晚上,人们可以在私人或集体的瓜园中摸回各种瓜果,而无论损失多少主人都不会生气。有些瓜园主人甚至还会故意在地里为夜里来摸秋的客人留下一些成熟的瓜果。
