Eating dumplings 吃餃子

In Shandong province, people make dumplings during the Start of Autumn, and they call it "Eating the Autumn". On the day of Start of Autumn, senior members of the family will stand in the middle of the hall, worshiping a bowl of cereal, and praying for the harvest in autumn. Most of the families will eat dumplings together after Start of Autumn day.

在山東，立秋的風俗是包餃子，老百姓都稱之為“咬秋”。立秋當天，年紀稍大的人會在堂屋正中供一只盛滿五谷雜糧的碗，祈求立秋過后五谷豐登。而大多數(shù)人家會在立秋時刻過后，全家人圍在一起吃餃子。
