立秋是二十四节气之一，更是秋天的第一个节气，标志着孟秋时节的正式开始：“秋”就是指暑去凉来。从这一天起秋天开始，秋高气爽，月明风清。此后，气温由最热逐渐下降。自古以来民间也有很多立秋的习俗，你都知道些什么呢？
一、啃秋
It means that people could keep the autumn by getting together and eating the autumn's watermelon, peach and sweet potato；
就是指大家聚在一起吃秋天的西瓜、桃子、地瓜之类的把秋天留住；
It's said that the heat rash will not occur after the "chew autumn".
据说啃秋之后不会长秋天痱子哦。
二、祭秋
The Autumn Community day is the day to worship the god of earth, this was starting from the Han dynasty and the later generation would worship the god at the fifth"wu day"after the autumn begins.
秋社就是祭祀土地神的日子，始于汉代，后世将立秋后第五个戊日祭神答谢。
There are still some customs like "do community", "worship community god", "cooking community porridge" in some places.
在一些地方，仍流传有“做社”、“敬社神”、“煮社粥”的说法。
三、贴秋膘
People become thinner after the hot summer, so in the coming cool season,people began to eat all kinds of meat to replenish the nutrients their bodies needed for the coming winter, which is called "stick to autumn fat".
炎热的夏天后人们都瘦了，于是在即将来临的凉爽的季节中人们开始吃各种各样的肉，来补上身体需要的营养为冬天的来临做好准备，这就是所谓的贴秋膘啦。
四、晒秋
There are some "taboos" related to the agricultural harvest at the beginning of autumn.
立秋时节有一些与农业收成相关的“忌讳”。
This kind of taboos has a more obvious regional characteristics, but nationally, "avoid thunder" in the beginning of autumn should be a relatively common taboo.
这种忌讳往往地域特色比较明显，但就全国来说，立秋“忌打雷”应该是比较普遍存在的一种忌讳了。
Many farmer's proverb reflects this phenomenon, such as "Thunder hit autumn, only half the harvest comes in winter" and "If there is a thunderthe in beginning of autumn, you can see frost in 100 days".
许多农谚都反映了这一现象，比如“雷打秋，冬半收”，“立秋响雷，百日见霜”等等。
五、称水
People fill containers of the same size with water before and after the beginning of autumn,and then they will weigh them.
老百姓分别在立秋前后用同样大小的容器装满水，然后称重。
If the water before the beginning of autumn is heavy, it means that the "fu water" is heavy, then there will be less rain in the autumn;
如果立秋前的水重，就表明伏水重，那么秋天雨水就少;
If the water is heavy after the beginning of autumn, there will be more rain in autumn, which may cause autumn waterlogging.
如果立秋后的水重，那么秋天雨水就多，有可能形成秋涝。
六、摸秋
婚后尚未生育的妇女，在小姑或其他女伴的陪同下，到田野瓜架、豆棚下，暗中摸索摘取瓜豆，故名摸秋。俗谓摸南瓜，易生男孩;摸扁豆，易生女孩;摸到白扁豆更吉利，除生女孩外，还是白头到老的好兆头。
七、吃“渣”
山东、四川等地区流行立秋吃“渣”——一种用豆末和青菜做成的小豆腐，并有“吃了立秋的渣，大人孩子不呕也不拉”的俗语。
除了这些，你还知道些什么样的立秋习俗呢？
