People spend the summer and eat new things.

There is a folk custom of "eating new things" in summer, which means tasting new rice.

The arrival of the light summer heat means that the hot weather in summer is about to begin. In order to cope with the coming hot climate and express gratitude for the first round of grain harvest, China society has gradually formed customs such as "eating new things" and "offering sacrifices to the god of five grains" for thousands of years.

"Eating fresh" means tasting new rice after the light summer. After grinding the newly cut rice into rice, farmers prepare meals to worship the grain gods and ancestors to show their gratitude to nature and ancestors, and then everyone tastes new wine. It is said that "eating new things" means "eating new things", which is the first new day after the summer festival.

Introduction to hot summer weather

Summer is the eleventh of the twenty-four solar terms, at the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the month. The sun reaches longitude 105 degrees, and the festival is held on July 6-8 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Summer means hot, a little hot, not very hot.

Although light summer is not the hottest season in a year, it is followed by the hottest solar term in a year. There is a folk saying that "it is hot in summer and hot in summer, and it is steamed and cooked". Many places in China have entered the season with the most thunderstorms since summer.
