On the first day of the Start of Autumn (the 13th solar term of the year that falls on August 7 this year), the locals will follow the tradition to weigh themselves and compare their weight with what it was at the Start of Summer. If one loses weight during the summer, he or she needs to gain it back by eating different kinds of delicious food, especially meat, at the beginning of autumn. On August 2, Suzhou Industrial Park Jincheng Residential Community organized such a traditional activity and attracted many kids for try.
