As the sun shifts and the air carries the first hint of crispness, we at Zhejiang Kaihua Mould Co., Ltd. are delighted to share the rich customs of Start of Autumn (Liqiu) with our global partners. This ancient solar term, marking the official arrival of autumn, is steeped in rituals that honor nature’s rhythm—and offer a deliciously human connection to the season.
Savoring the Season: Feasts and Folklore
One of the most beloved traditions is “tietiubiao” (literally “sticking on autumn fat”). After a sweltering summer where appetites often wane, autumn’s cooler days call for hearty meals to replenish energy. Families gather over roasted meats, braised pork belly, or savory stews—dishes that symbolize nourishment and preparation for the months ahead. It’s a joyful reminder that abundance is meant to be shared, much like the collaborative spirit we cherish at Kaihua Mould.
In northern China, “yaoqiu” (“biting the autumn”) is a lively custom. People munch on fresh watermelons, grapes, or peaches, believing that “biting into” the season wards off summer ailments and ushers in good health. Meanwhile, in regions like Zhejiang, many enjoy “qiutang” (“autumn soup”), a nourishing broth made with seasonal vegetables and herbs, blending flavor with tradition.
Nature’s Cues and Cultural Wisdom
Beyond the table, Start of Autumn is a time to read nature’s signs. Ancient Chinese observed that phoenix tree leaves begin to fall around this time, giving rise to the saying “A single leaf falling heralds autumn”—a poetic reminder that small changes signal larger shifts. This mindfulness mirrors our approach at Kaihua: we pay attention to the details, whether in precision mold design or anticipating industry trends, to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.
From Tradition to Innovation
Our relentless pursuit of exceptional quality is rooted in decades of professional accumulation and technical refinement in the mold manufacturing industry. This resonates remarkably with the dedication every household invests in preparing their Start of Autumn feast:
The former—our endeavor—builds the enterprise’s resilience amid industry tides through the inheritance of craftsmanship across generations and relentless technological innovation. The latter—their feast—brews the rich flavors of autumn with carefully selected ingredients and culinary devotion.
Though differing in domain, both embody a commitment to “achieving great things through steady accumulation” and the wisdom of savoring growth amid the passage of time.
