Beginning of autumn, can I take a shower?

You can take a bath in beginning of autumn that day.

The rumor that "beginning of autumn can't take a bath" is circulated because in ancient times, people would take a bath by pumping water from a well, but only a few families could afford it.

Many ordinary families go to the river to take a bath, but after beginning of autumn, the temperature of the river is low and it is easy to catch a cold or get sick. The saying that you can't take a bath was aimed at taking a bath in the river.
