What holiday custom is hanging eggs?

Hanging eggs is a traditional custom in long summer.

1, as the saying goes, "An egg hangs on the chest in long summer, but the child is not in summer". It means that as the temperature rises and summer approaches, children are particularly prone to "summer" symptoms. It is said that as long as they eat eggs in the long summer, they can prevent diseases.

2. For modern people, long summer is just a solar term, which means that spring goes to summer. However, ancient ancestors regarded the long summer as an important day. The old customs make summer a traditional folk festival, which is called "Long Summer Festival". In ancient times, Emperor Tiandi led hundreds of officials to welcome summer in the southern suburbs and held ceremonies to worship Emperor Yan and Zhu Rong. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that people began to taste new customs. In the Qing dynasty, there were more customs such as offering sacrifices to gods, tasting new products, giving gifts, weighing people and making new tea.
