Pears

As the Autumn Equinox (qiu fen) arrives, the days grow cooler and the air drier. It's the perfect time for pears — sweet, crisp, and refreshing, they are a beloved fruit of the season. In traditional Chinese food culture, pears are considered cooling and believed to help ease dryness, making them especially fitting for early autumn. Fresh pears grace dining tables in season, bringing a touch of crisp sweetness to the cooler days and making autumn feel all the more light and refreshing.
