Eat "white-colored" food

Traditional Chinese culture always believes that human beings should respect nature and act according to natural changes. Food, beverage and even color of clothes should vary with the seasons. As autumn is often connected with "white", food with different shades of the color, is recommended. Such series include pears, white turnip, white fungus, Chinese yam and oats.
