Families traditionally gather to prepare a meal of Jiaozi, or dumplings, for the event.

For Chinese families, food and fall go hand-in-hand. Liqui startes with senior members of the family - who put out a bowl of cereals in prayer for the autumn harvest. But that's not the tasty part.

Families traditionally gather to prepare a meal of Jiaozi, or dumplings, for the event. The filling is usually a rich and heavy mixture of meat and vegetables.

In some areas of China, family members will steal the dumplings from others' bowls - believing the more they grab, the healthier they will be in the coming autumn.

Wang Jian said, "I ate many dumplings from other people's bowls. I hope I will be healthy and strong in autumn."
