Autumn Begins & the First Cup of Milk Tea—When Tradition Meets Modern Trends

1. Beginning of Autumn (Liqiu): Receiving the New Season

"Liqiu" (立秋), the 13th solar term of the Chinese lunar calendar, signifies the start of autumn. It typically occurs from approximately August 7-9 each year, as the summer heat diminishes, cool breezes bring relief, and nature prepares for the harvest.

In ancient China, Liqiu was celebrated with:

Seasonal fruit consumption, such as watermelon ("biting autumn")

Eating hearty meals to stockpile energy for winter ("putting on autumn weight")

2. The First Cup of Milk Tea: A New Tradition

In modern China, a new trend has emerged among the youth: to share "the first cup of milk tea in autumn," a sweet way to herald the new season. Originating from social media, this custom signifies:

A warm seasonal tradition

A proposal for thinking of loved ones

A thoughtful fusion of contemporary life with ancient traditions

3. A Perfect Match: Past & Present

It is interesting that this milk tea trend is similar to the long-standing traditional wisdom:

as " fatter in the autumn , " it is warming in preparation for the even colder and harsher days.

Tea and milk are capable of nurturing the body in dry autumn weather (healthier with less sugar!)!

So, whether you enjoy milk tea in the way I have suggested, or you eat seasonal foods, remember Liqiu and embrace and enjoy the changing seasons. What way will you celebrate autumn this year?
